XLamp ® xm-l LED 10,000-lumen High-bay Reference Design
Design approach/objectives
In the “LED Luminaire Design Guide” Cree advocates a six step framework for creating LED luminaires and lamps. 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 effiiciencies will drive the number of LEDs needed in the
luminaire.
•
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.
4. Calculate the number of LEDs needed
The 6-step methodology
The goal of the design is an LED-based high-bay luminaire that can replace high-intensity discharge (HID) and 54-watt fluorescent T5 and
T8 luminaires in commercial, industrial and warehouse applications. As a replacement luminaire, this design uses a form factor that is
similar to traditional high-bay lighting currently in use.

Because this reference design is targeted as a replacement high-bay luminaire, the design has a form factor similar to incumbent
luminaires. The optic is a commercially available 16-inch diameter reflector commonly used in HID high-bay luminaires. The LED array
size and arrangement is designed to fit this reflector. To maximize the luminaire’s light output, we painted the inside of the reflector with
reflective white paint.

Figure 2: High-bay reflector
Thermal Requirements
The thermal solution is a key factor in the success of this reference design, as the LEDs are concentrated at the center of the luminaire.
To make this design feasible, we worked with two partners to design and fabricate a custom metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB)
and heat sink.
MCPCB
As shown in Figure 4, this high-bay luminaire design has sixteen XLamp XM-L LEDs arranged in a
closely spaced 4 x 4 rectangular array. To handle the high power density we used a special copper
MCPCB from Rayben. As shown in Figure 3, where a typical MCPCB has a copper trace layer and a
dielectric layer to transfer heat to the aluminum base layer and on to the surrounding environment,
the Rayben MCPCB in this design has a “micro heat exchanger” (MHE) layer to transfer heat to the
copper base layer and offers greater heat transfer capability. The electrically neutral thermal path of
the XM-L LED makes this possible.

XLamp ® xm-l LED 10,000-lumen High-bay Reference Design
Heat Sink
This reference design uses a custom vapor-chamber heat sink by Steady Heat & Mass Transfer
Technology Academy Ltd, shown in Figure 6. As Figure 5 illustrates, the heat sink has a unique
vapor chamber design to enhance thermal conductivity and heat dissipation. A special liquid is
vacuum sealed in a chamber formed between the heat source, in this design the MCPCB, and the
heat fins. The heat from the MCPCB causes the liquid to evaporate; the vapor condenses on the
cooler part of the chamber to enhance cooling and collects on the base near the heat source to
repeat the cycle.
Figure 5: Heat sink design
Figure 6: Heat sink attached to heat sink support
We performed thermal simulations to verify this thermal design is sufficient. Figure 7 shows the thermal simulation results for the design.
The simulated solder point temperature (TSP) is 72 °C.

XLamp ® xm-l LED 10,000-lumen High-bay Reference Design
Driver
We used a market-ready constant-current driver that fits within the heat sink support and matches the design’s current and voltage range.
The high-bay luminaire design can also accommodate locating the driver separate from the luminaire.
Figure 8: Driver
4. Calculate the number of LEDs
Using Cree’s PCT, we determined that sixteen XLamp XM-L LEDs produce sufficient light to meet the 10,000-lm design goal.
5. Consider all design possibilities
There are many ways to design an LED-based high-bay luminaire. This reference design aims to show that the XM-L LED enables a highbay luminaire offering superior performance.
The XM-L LED offers a wide range of color temperatures. We selected a neutral white LED for this high-bay luminaire design, shown
highlighted in Table 6.

6. Complete the final steps: implementation and analysis
Using the methodology described above, we determined a suitable combination of LEDs, components and drive conditions. This section
describes how Cree assembled the high-bay luminaire 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 MCPCB.

Figure 12 shows the calculated and reported lifetimes for the XM-L LED, interpolated from the data shown in Figure 11, at the measured
61 °C TSP for the XM-L LED in this design. Although this design operates at a slightly higher current than the 2-A level of the TM-21 data
set, Cree’s experience with the XM-L LED gives us reason to expect that, with a reported L70(6k) lifetime greater than 36,300 hours and a

XLamp ® xm-l LED 10,000-lumen High-bay Reference Design
Optical and Electrical Results
We obtained the results in Table 7 by testing the luminaire in a 2-meter sphere at steady state.4 As the table shows, the luminaire meets
the 10,000-lm target goal using less than 150 W of power and compares favorably with published data for two comparison metal halide
luminaires. The XM-L high-bay luminaire also exceeds the DesignLights Consortium efficacy, CCT and CRI requirements.

Conclusions
This reference design illustrates the excellent performance of a high-bay luminaire based on the Cree XLamp XM-L LED. The efficacy of
the XM-L LED allows a relatively small number of LEDs to match the light output of comparison luminaires with better color consistency
without the metal halide’s slow start-up times and ultraviolet light. The lighting-class performance of the Cree XLamp XM-L LED makes it
an attractive design option for an LED-based high-bay luminaire.
