This application note demonstrates a remarkably simple way to incorporate the Cree XLamp® MP-L EasyWhite™ LED into a pendant light, a popular hanging luminaire that has traditionally used A-form incandescent bulbs and more recently self-ballasted CFLs.
Pendant lights are not particularly efficient fixtures to begin with. When used with colored glass
shades, large fractions of flux from the illumination source are absorbed by the shade. The fixtures
offer a pleasing “glow” and “look” and so enjoy considerable popularity, even with the inherent loss of
light. However, when used with a frosted white shade, an XLamp MPL-based pendant can be an Energy
Star-conformant SSL luminaire.
