Application Note
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.

XLamp ® XM-L LED 6-inch downlight 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 downlight that shows the performance available from the XLamp XM-L LED.

The PCT shows that, at 1.7 A, 8 XM-L LEDs provide sufficient light output to meet the design goals.
Thermal Requirements
For the 6-inch downlight in this reference design, we decided to use a commercially available housing, shown in Figure 2. We also decided
to use a commercially available heat sink, shown in Figure 3, attached to the back of the housing to dissipate the thermal load.

Driver
The driver for this 6-inch downlight can be mounted separate from the downlight and there is no driver size limit. This reference design
does not require a custom driver and we decided to use a constant-current off-the-shelf driver.

XLamp ® XM-L LED 6-inch downlight Reference Design
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.
Figure 7: Reflector
Figure 6: Diffuser lens
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.

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 (TJ) can be
calculated as follows:
TJ= TSP + (LED power * LED thermal resistance)
TJ = 53 °C + (5.3 W * 2.5 °C/W)
TJ = 66 °C
Figure 8: Thermal results
for XM-L downlight
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.
