LED Task Light Reference Design
Designing a SSL linear fixture that exceeds linear fluorescent performance, is cost competitive, and
satisfies Energy Star performance criteria requires a system level design approach. By this, we mean
that all four system level elements, LED selection, Secondary Optics, SSL Driver Selection/Performance,
and Thermal Management must be taken into consideration. NXP, Cree, and Brightview teamed up to
design an Under-Cabinet SSL fixture that exceeded linear fluorescent performance, while keeping cost
low and satisfying Energy Star performance targets.
The The output is set at 6W and delivers approximately 307 lumens without the diffuser. With a Bright View
diffuser installed the task light produces approximately 261 lumens which is a significant achievement
and speaks to the superiority of Bright View’s diffuser technology. The equivalent fluorescent light had a
lumen output through the diffuser of 201 lumens for 8W of power.
