Parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) lamps are widely used in
various indoor and outdoor applications, from residential and
commercial recessed downlights, indoor retail spotlights and
outdoor security lighting to stage lights, emergency-vehicle
lighting and locomotive headlights. The high flux and efficacy
offered by the XLamp XT-E LED make it a particularly strong
candidate for use in a PAR38 lamp.

XLamp ® XT-E LED PAR38 Reference Design
Design approach/objectives
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.
The 6-step methodology
The goal of the design is an LED-based PAR38 lamp that shows the performance available from the XLamp XT-E LED.

Figure 1: ENERGY STAR Center Beam Intensity Benchmark Tool output for 150-W equivalent PAR38 lamp with 15° beam angle
To demonstrate the capability and flexibility of the XT-E LED, we made two additional versions of the PAR38 lamp, with 18° and 35° beam
angles. We used the ENERGY STAR Center Beam Intensity Benchmark Tool to determine that an 18° beam angle lamp needs to provide
CBCP of 12,147 cd and a 35° beam angle lamp needs to provide CBCP of 3,743 cd.

Secondary Optics
PAR38 lamps are commonly used as both spotlights and floodlights and are offered with a variety of beam angles. This XT-E PAR38
design addresses lamps with 15°, 18°, and 35° beam angles, each using a 12-in-1 lens optic, shown in Figure 7.6 The optic is only design
difference in the lamps.
Figure 7: Both sides of XT-E PAR38 optic
4. Calculate the number of LEDs needed
Using Cree’s PCT, we determined that 12 XLamp XT-E LEDs produce sufficient light to meet the 1,600-lm design goal.
5. Consider all design possibilities
There are many ways to design an LED-based PAR38 lamp. This reference design aims to show that the XT-E LED enables a PAR38 lamp
offering superior performance.
The XT-E LED offers a wide range of color temperatures. As highlighted in Table 6, we selected a warm white LED for this PAR38 lamp
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 for a PAR38
lamp. This section describes how Cree assembled the lamp 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 XT-E 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 with screws.
6. We soldered the LED DC input wires to the driver DC output wires.
7. We fit the LED driver into the housing and secured it with screws.
8. We screwed the housing to the heat sink.
9. We placed the optic on the LED MCPCB, aligning the positioning tabs, and secured it to the heat sink with the plastic locking ring.
10. We performed final testing.
Results
Thermal Results
Cree verified the board temperature with a thermocouple to confirm that the thermal dissipation performance of the heat sink aligns with
our simulation. As shown in Figure 8, the measured solder point temperature was 78 °C, which is in close agreement with the simulation
and shows that the heat sink is sufficient for this design.

Figure 8: Thermal measurement
Based on the measured solder point temperature of 78 °C, the junction temperature (TJ) can be calculated as follows.
TJ= TSP + (LED power * LED thermal resistance)
TJ = 78 °C + (2 W * 5 °C/W)
TJ = 88 °C
Estimated LED Lifetime
Since the XLamp XT-E LED is a new component, based on our experience with similar LED systems, we expect the lumen maintenance
performance of the XT-E LED to be at least as good as that of the XLamp XP-E High Efficiency White (HEW) LED.
Figure 9 shows the calculated and reported lifetimes, determined using the TM-21 projection algorithm, for the XP-E HEW LED at a 700mA input current at three solder point temperatures. The duration of Cree’s XP-E HEW LM-80 data set is 6,000 hours at a 700-mA drive
current. The TM-21 methodology limits the projection to six times the duration of the LM-80 data set.

XLamp ® XT-E LED PAR38 Reference Design
TM-21 Lifetime Report
Figure 10 shows the calculated and reported lifetimes for the XP-E HEW LED, interpolated from the data shown in Figure 9, at the measured
78 °C TSP for the XT-E LED in this design. With a reported L70(6k) lifetime greater than 36,300 hours and a calculated L70(6k) lifetime of
51,500 hours, we expect the lamp to easily meet the ENERGY STAR lumen maintenance requirement, > L70 at 25,000 hours.7

XLamp ® XT-E LED PAR38 Reference Design
Optical and Electrical Results
We obtained the results in Table 7 and Table 8 by testing the PAR38 lamps in a 1.5-meter sphere after a 60-minute stabilization time.8 As
the tables show, the lamps exceed the 1,600-lm target using less than 30 W of power. The lamps also meet their CBCP goals. In addition,
the PAR38 lamps meet the ENERGY STAR efficacy, power factor, CCT and CRI requirements.
The results in Table 7 are common to the three XT-E PAR38 lamps.

XLamp ® XT-E LED PAR38 Reference Design
Conclusions
This reference design illustrates the superior performance of a PAR38 lamp based on the Cree XLamp XT-E LED. The PAR38 lamp
components are all commercially available, showing that an extremely capable lamp can be designed without the time and expense of
developing custom parts. Demonstrating the flexibility of the XLamp XT-E LED, we made three excellent PAR38 lamps by changing only
the optic. The lighting-class performance of the Cree XLamp XT-E LED makes it an attractive design option for an LED-based PAR38 lamp.
