Some Heuristics of LED Phosphor Systems Conversion 
Efficiency 
• Phosphor Systems Introduce Conversion Efficiencies, which are 
(Roughly) Linear and CCT Dependent 
– Blue-to-red is least efficient 
• Efficacy vs. CCT 
– Example: from 5000K 70 CRI to 2700K 80 CRI expect a 20-25% 
LPW loss, with roughly linear interpolation. 
• (4000K 70 CRI would be ~10% LPW loss) 
• Efficacy vs. CRI 
– Example: from 2700K CCT, 80 CRI to 2700K CCT, 90 CRI  
20% LPW loss

DOE LED Roadmap 
We’ll get to 250 LPW in production 
US DOE MYPP, April 2013, p.47 
Consensus: 
© 2014 Cree, Inc. 
All rights reserved. 33
Uses of a 250LPW LED Source: 
1. Trade LPW for cost; save a ton 
of money on luminaire first-cost 
2. Trade LPW for high CRI 
3. Trade LPW for CCT ANY 
CCT 
4. Enable applications you 
thought impossible. Really!

    Some Heuristics ofLED Phosphor Systems Conversion Efficiency • Phosphor Systems Introduce Conversion Efficiencies, which are (Roughly) Linear and CCT Dependent – Blue-to-red is least efficient • Efficacy vs. CCT – Example: from 5000K 70 CRI to 2700K 80 CRI expect a 20-25% LPW loss, with roughly linear interpolation. • (4000K 70 CRI would be ~10% LPW loss) • Efficacy vs. CRI – Example: from 2700K CCT, 80 CRI to 2700K CCT, 90 CRI  20% LPW loss © 2014 Cree, Inc.
