is dissipated through conduction, must have a separate path and heat sink for thermal dissipation. Hence the design
constraints that come with replacement lamps.
A great deal of interest and activity has centered on the E26/A19 form factor and there are many ways to approach the
design and production of the classic A19 bulb. This application note reviews a variety of LED choices available from Cree
to achieve attractive and cost effective warm white A19 bulbs or replacement lamps. This application note is different
from other Cree application notes in that it reviews a spectrum of design choices rather than focusing on a particular
implementation.
While most Cree reference designs or application notes use a 6-step framework, described in the “LED Luminaire Design
Guide,”1 this application note is largely about the many LED options and topologies that are available when designing
A19 LED replacement lamps. As such we only visit a few of the steps in the framework.
A19 Lighting Requirements
The most common form of A19 LED replacement lamps are often referred to as “snow cones.” This moniker comes
from the hemispheric dome that covers a circuit board of LEDs that sit atop a conic heat sink, which gives the visual
impression of an ice cream cone or snow cone. The benefits of this approach come from a relatively large set of suppliers,
delivering form-factor appropriate heat sinks, device drivers and molded diffusers. As such, this style of A19 bulb has
rapidly become the dominant value-priced bulb. For many lighting applications the hemispheric distribution of luminous
flux that comes along with the snow cone approach is sufficient – a very wide-angle flood lamp. But for applications that
require a spherical or omnidirectional distribution of flux, the snow cone is not optimal.2
In order to achieve an omnidirectional flux distribution, other approaches to flux geometry must be used. Noteworthy
or innovative examples of these designs include bulbs from GE, Philips and LSG, shown below.

Design Goals
To be familiar with the rapidly evolving product space for LED replacement lamps, application engineers at Cree have
built at least a dozen different A19 lamp prototypes. Our team has experimented with a broad selection of XLamp LEDs,
drivers and enclosures. We have developed a few examples as models as being the most cost-effective, for a variety of
reasons. For example:
Constraint
Solution
Maximize driver efficiency
XLamp MX-6S
Minimize LED in bulb BOM
XLamp XP-E HEW
Rationale
High voltage LEDs in series all for moreefficient driver implementations
Extremely high lumen/$ ratio, optimized
for diffused lighting applications
Reduced manufacturing complexity;
The 3 snow cones
Minimize Production and inventory costs
XLamp CXA-2011
simplified inventory

Estimate Efficiencies of the optical, thermal & electrical systems
This section is an estimation exercise and discussion for a variety of LED configurations
using Cree’s Product Characterization Tool or PCT.4 The PCT is tool that models basic LED
and system performance to develop initial approaches for system design.
In all the cases we review here, we are assuming a 15% loss in the diffusing structures of
the LED bulbs. This is a representative loss for the cast-plastic diffusive domes.
For a 40-W-equivalent LED bulb we have set up the PCT to compare system estimation
XLamp MX-6 LED
information for three LEDs, the XLamp MX-6S, MX-6 and XP-E HEW. The settings of the PCT
are to deliver 450 lumens with an 85%-efficient optical system and an 87%-efficient driver
system. We also assume we have a heat sink that allows the system to maintain a 55°
solder-point temperature.
We have configured the PCT display to focus on system-wide information, looking at the
number LEDs required, lumens delivered, system wattage and efficacy.

Figure 3: Product Characterization Tool analysis of a 450-lumen A19 bulb
This analysis shows us many approaches to delivering a 40-W-equivalent value bulb. In considering drive current and
number of LEDs, at one end of the spectrum the four MX-6S LEDs can present an 85-V, 100-mA load, consume just
under 10 watts of power and deliver just under 50-lm/W efficacy. Six MX-6 LEDs driven at 350 mA deliver over 63 lm/W
while using under 8 watts of power. Four XP-E HEW LEDs, in the R2 flux bin, can deliver equivalent flux at an improved
efficacy of just over 70 lm/W using 6.9 W of power.
The case for using MX-6S LEDs is particularly interesting and not well represented in Figure 3 because the highvoltage LEDs have the potential to allow for higher-efficiency device drivers. In an article in the April 2011 issue of
LEDs Magazine, Matt Reynolds of National Semiconductor shows through a simple and elegant analysis that the use of
high-voltage LEDs allows for lower operating temperatures of supporting driver electronics — capacitors, inductors and
diodes.5 The implication of his analysis includes the potential for drivers that are both more reliable (cooler operating
temperatures for capacitors, for example) and more efficient. In our PCT analysis, an increase of 6% efficiency in drive
electronics, from 87% to 93%, delivers an almost 7% improvement in efficacy.

Figure 4: Improved driver performance for the MX-6S LED
The choices change when moving to the brighter 60-W-equivalent LED lamp. Very high
efficacies can be achieved with large numbers of LEDs, but it is an impractical amount of
money to be spent on LEDs, and the space constraints of the bulb will not permit it. In
practice, the 800-lumen target is achieved with a few additional parts and with an increased
thermal load in the system. For this part of the exercise, we are assuming a higher junction
temperature of 85 °C. The two cost-effective LEDs for this bulb are the XP-E HEW and
the CXA2011. The PCT is again configured to illustrate numbers of LEDs, system lumens,
system power and efficacy.

Figure 5: LED configurations for a 60-W-equivalent, non-directional LED lamp
Running at these space-constrained and elevated temperatures, it takes eight XP-E HEW LEDs from the R2 flux bin,
driven at 350 mA to deliver 810 lumens, at 12 watts of power with an efficacy of almost 68 lm/W. The single CXA2011
from the J flux bin, running at 250 mA delivers improved performance: 814 lumens, 11.3 watts and over 72 lm/W.
Implementations and Analysis
The most thorough analysis of a Cree LED A19 bulb comes from a collaboration with Marvell Semiconductor (www.
marvell.com). The 40-watt-equivalent LED replacement lamp uses four Cree XP-E HEW LEDs and Marvell’s 88EM8081
PFC controller. The system delivers 475 lumens at 3000 °K CCT, consuming 7.5 watts of power.6 This implementation is
in good correspondence with the PCT analysis in Figure 3.

In early 2011, Cree built a CXA20011-based A19 bulb. In fact, in analyzing some A19 replacement lamps on the market,
we found one with a device driver that closely matched the CXA2011 voltage and current requirements, and as a first
pass replaced the LED array with a CXA2011. Results from this first experiment were somewhat disappointing. At
steady-state, the bulb produced 750 lumens and consumed 12.8 watts with a system efficacy of 58 Lm/W. Although
this level of performance is Energy Star conformant, it was not in good correspondence with the PCT analysis shown in
Figure 5. We believe refinements to the heat sink assembly and a more recent driver circuit could deliver a substantial
improvement in performance.

Conclusions
Because of their small size and lumen density, development of cost-effective and well-engineered LED replacement
lamps presents tremendous challenges to every aspect of LED systems design. Experimentation and innovation are
occurring throughout the LED replacement lamp ecosystem. Cree supports this ecosystem by delivering the broadest
portfolio of LEDs in the industry and by maintaining a vigorous pace of product innovation to bring the best LED options
to the replacement-lamp manufacturing community.
