INTRODUCTION
This application note demonstrates that an LED task
light can readily outperform its linear fluorescent equiv-
alent and incorporate dimming for mood setting and for
additional energy savings. Cree, NXP Semiconductors
and Bright View Technologies collaborated to design an
under-cabinet SSL fixture that exceeds linear fluores-
cent performance while keeping cost low and meeting
Energy Star performance specifications. This design is
a simple approach to fluorescent lamp replacement and
can easily be integrated into many linear lighting ap-
plications.
