Cree ® XLamp ® XM-L LED

6-Inch Downlight Reference Design

IntRoDuCtIon

This application note details the design of a 6-inch downlight using Cree’s XLamp

®

XM-L LED, a single die, high-flux component optimized for very high-lumen applications such as indoor commercial, high-bay and roadway lights. The XM-L offers industry-leading performance and reliability.

Six-inch downlights are the industry standard indoors and outdoors in both residential and commercial applications such as soffits and ceilings, where a wide beam pattern is desirable.

Although typical light output ranges from 500 to 2000 lumens, high-ceiling applications require even higher light levels. The high flux and efficacy offered by the XLamp XM-L LED make it a strong candidate for use in such a 6-inch downlight.

In the “LeD Luminaire Design Guide” Cree advocates a 6-step framework for creating LED luminaires. All Cree reference designs use this framework, and the design guide’s summary table is reproduced below.

table 1: Cree 6-step framework

step Explanation

1. Define lighting requirements • The design goals can be based either on an existing fixture or on the application’s lighting requirements.

2. Define design goals • Specify design goals, which will be based on the application’s lighting requirements.

• Specify any other goals that will influence the design, such as special optical or environmental requirements.

3. Estimate efficiencies of the optical, thermal &

electrical systems • Design goals will place constraints on the optical, thermal and electrical systems.

• Good estimations of efficiencies of each system can be made based on these constraints.

• The combination of lighting goals and system efficiencies will drive the number of LEDs needed in the luminaire.

4. Calculate the number of LeDs needed • Based on the design goals and estimated losses, the designer can calculate the number of LeDs to meet the design goals.

5. Consider all design possibilities and choose

the best • With any design, there are many ways to achieve the goals.

• LED lighting is a new field; assumptions that work for conventional lighting sources may not apply.

6. Complete final steps • Complete circuit board layout.

• Test design choices by building a prototype luminaire.

• Make sure the design achieves all the design goals.

• Use the prototype to further refine the luminaire design.

• record observations and ideas for improvement.

Secondary Optics

A diffuser is commonly used in downlight designs to minimize glare and hot spots and to distribute light evenly. This downlight design uses a diffuser and a reflector to maximize light output. These two optical elements are contained in the housing.

The reflector efficiency is ~99% and the diffuser efficiency is ~89%, giving a total optical efficiency of ~90%.

4. CaLCuLatE thE nuMbER of LEDs

Using Cree’s PCT, we determined that 8 XLamp XM-L LEDs produce sufficient light to meet the 3000-lm design goal.

5. ConsIDER aLL DEsIgn possIbILItIEs

There are many ways to design an LeD-based downlight. This reference design aims to show that a small number of XM-L LeDs enable a downlight offering superior performance.

The XM-L LeD offers a wide range of color temperatures. As highlighted in Table 6, we selected a warm white LeD for this downlight design. By selecting an LED from a low-level flux bin, we ensured that this design meets its goals using an LED that is readily available.

6. CoMpLEtE thE fInaL stEps

Using the methodology described above, we determined a suitable combination of LeDs, components and drive conditions. This section describes how Cree assembled the downlight and shows the results of the design.

prototyping Details

1. We verified the component dimensions to ensure a correct fit.

2. Following the recommendations in Cree’s Soldering and Handling Application Note for the XM-L LED with an appropriate solder paste and reflow profile, we reflow soldered the LEDs to the metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB).

3. We soldered the input wires to the MCPCB.

4. We tested the connection by applying power to the LEDs and verified the LEDs lit up.

5. We applied a thin layer of thermal conductive compound to the back of MCPCB and attached it to the heat sink.

6. We attached a round white reflector (with cutout openings matching the LEDs) to the MCPCB,

securing it with screws.

(9)

XLamp

Xm-L LED 6-inch DownLight REfEREncE DEsign

7. We attached the housing to the heat sink with screws.

8. We attached the reflector to the bottom of the housing with screws. We attached the reflector to the sides of the housing with double-sided tape.

9. We fit the diffuser lens into the housing and secured it with the diffuser cover trim.

10. We connected the LeD DC input wires to the driver DC output wires with connectors.

11. We performed final testing.

Results

Thermal Results

Cree verified the board temperature with a thermocouple and an infrared (IR) thermal imaging camera to confirm that the thermal dissipation performance of the heat sink aligns with our simulations. As shown in Figure 8, the measured solder point temperature was 53 °C, which is in close agreement with the simulation and shows that the heat sink is sufficient for this design.

Based on the measured solder point temperature of 53  °C, the junction temperature (T

J

) can be calculated as follows:

T

J

= T

SP

+ (LED power * LED thermal resistance) T

J

= 53 °C + (5.3 W * 2.5 °C/W)

T

J

= 66 °C

Estimated LED Lifetime

We used Cree’s TM-21 Calculator Tool to project the lifetime of the XM-L LeD used in this downlight. Figure 9 shows the calculated and reported lifetimes, determined using the TM-21 projection algorithm, for the XM-L LeD at a 2-A input current at three solder point temperatures. The duration of Cree’s XM-L LM-80 data set is 6000 hours at a 2-A drive current. Because the TM-21 methodology limits the projection to six times the duration of the LM-80 data set, our TM-21 calculation shows a lifetime L70(6k) projection of greater than 36,300 hours. We are confident that most drivers can meet this temperature/lifetime requirement as well.

ConCLusIon

This reference design illustrates the excellent results obtainable from a 6-inch downlight based on the Cree XLamp XM-L LED. The high flux

output of the XM-L LED enabled these results with a small number of LEDs, keeping system costs low. The directionality of the XM-L LED

is a plus in a downlight, putting more light on the surface to be illuminated. The downlight components in this design are all commercially

available, showing that an extremely capable luminaire can be designed without the time and expense of developing custom parts. The

lighting-class performance of the Cree XLamp XM-L LED makes it an attractive design option for an LED-based 6-inch downlight.
