PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 System overview
Building an LED-based luminaire poses a new set of technical challenges, among them new optical requirements,
providing adequate thermal management for stable operation and lastly dealing with the ever-improving performance
of LEDs. Nevertheless, LED technology also provides an
unknown wealth of possibilities, opening up unprecedented
levels of performance in addition to improved ways of
integration. Continuing down this path of integration and
innovation, OSRAM presents a revolutionary solution:
PrevaLED® Core AC light engines have an integrated driver
and can therefore be connected directly to line voltage.
OSRAM’s PrevaLED® family of LED light engines addresses
the challenges of LED-based lighting while at the same
time providing the user with high levels of flexibility. Enabled
by the application of LED technology, PrevaLED® aims to
push the envelope of what is possible in terms of performance and simplicity.
The PrevaLED® Core AC series of light engines is ideally
suited for use in reflector-based, rotation-symmetric luminaires (such as spotlights and downlights) in shop, hospitality, decorative or office applications.
Benefits
— PrevaLED® Core AC offers an integrated system solution
with the LED source and the electronic control circuitry
together on the same board, packaged into a uniquely
compact light engine that can be directly connected to
230 VAC.
— Omitting the driver allows for smaller, simpler, slimmer
and – last but not least – more cost-efficient luminaire
designs.
— Logistics and manufacturing will be simplified drastically
thanks to the lack of the driver and cables, and also the
reduced housing and fixation materials.
— The PrevaLED® Core AC family is easy to integrate since
the light engines are compatible with “Zhaga book 3”
heat sinks and reflectors. Currently, there is no standard
available for AC spotlight engines. The LES sizes, diameters and positioning of mounting holes, however,
meet the Zhaga standards, similar to the PrevaLED®
Core Z2 and Z3 product ranges.
— The engines are outfitted with a Wago connector which
allows for an easy “poke-in” of stranded and solid wires.
— The protective cover glass ensures safety for installers
and avoids damaging the COB. The reversible thermal
shutdown protects the light engine from breaking down
when overheated.
— The entire PrevaLED® Core AC family is certified according to CE and VDE/ENEC standards.
— COB technology ensures great homogeneity where no
additional diffuser is required.
Product features
— PrevaLED® Core AC is available in 800 and 2 000 lm, in
three color temperatures (2 700, 3 000 and 4 000 K) and
CRI 83.
— The LED light engine operates directly at a line voltage
of 230 VAC, 50–60 Hz.
— System efficacy (including driver losses) of up to
82 lm/W with a power factor of > 0.9.
— Lifetime is 50 000 hours (L70B30) at tr of 65 °C, with
tc max. = 80 °C.

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Optical considerations
2 Optical considerations
The PrevaLED® Core AC can be applied in spotlights and
downlights.
2.1 Modulation of light
Due to the limited geometry of the PrevaLED® Core AC,
there is no capacitance placed in the light engine. The
result is a light modulation which has a frequency of
100 Hz. The light output goes down to 0 %.
Warning: This light modulation might influence the perception of moving or rotating parts. Do not use the light engine
in critical applications such as turnery. The light engine
might also cause interference with monochrome LCDs
(twisted nematic displays).
2.2 Light distribution
The light distribution of the light engine is shown in the
graph below. The PrevaLED ® Core AC creates a beam
angle of 110° FWHM (full width at half maximum).
Light distribution curve
The LES dimensions of PrevaLED® Core AC light engines
meet Zhaga book 3 standards. Therefore, the PrevaLED ®
Core AC can be used in combination with available offthe-shelf secondary optics. For optics support, you can

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Ingress protection | Electrical considerations
3 Ingress protection
The PrevaLED® Core AC has an ingress protection rating of
IP20. Please ensure that the housing of your luminaire provides the IP protection required for your application.
For further information, please have a look at the technical
application guide “IP codes in accordance with IEC 60529”,
which can be downloaded from www.osram.com.
4 Electrical considerations
4.1 Wiring information
The PrevaLED® Core AC can be directly connected to
mains voltage (220–240 V, 50/60 Hz).
The used input clamps can handle solid wire or flexible wire
with a cross-section of 0.2 to 0.75 mm2 (AWG24–18).
The use of solid wire is recommended.
Wire preparation
Notes:
— The connector is designed for three poke-in and release
cycles.
— Due to the fact that you are handling mains voltage, you
must not hot-plug the light engine.
— The installation of LED light engines needs to be carried
out in compliance with all applicable electrical and safety
standards. Only qualified personnel should be allowed
to perform installations.
6–7 mm
(0.24–0.28 inch)
Please insert the wires in 0° orientation to the PCB.
Solid wire:
Plug directly.
Flexible wire:
1. Lightly press the push
button of the connection
clamp.
2. Insert the flexible wire.
To press/release the
clamps, please use an
operating tool (Wago type:
233-335), a ballpoint pen
or a small screwdriver.

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Electrical considerations
4.2 Insulation requirements
The PrevaLED® Core AC can be used in class I luminaires
without further action. The creepage distance and clearance are fulfilled. The protective cover glass is tested
according to a spring hammer test and provides class I
insulation. It prevents the user from touching the light-emitting surface which is connected directly to 220–240 VAC.
The PrevaLED® Core AC has basic insulation. In class II
luminaires, additional care needs to be taken in the area
of the input connector, the metal core PCB and the metal
bushings. Between connection wires with basic insulation
and touchable metal parts or the heat sink, a second insulation layer is required. The light engine must be mounted
in an electrically insulated way. You can, for example, use
an electrically insulating thermal foil which must overlap the
PrevaLED® Core AC light engine by at least 2.5 mm in all
directions. To mount the light engine, you must use nonconductive screws or attach the light engine by a clamping
mechanism. Please note that force must be applied to
the metal bushings only.
4.5 Controllability
Due to the integrated drive electronics, a good compatibility with all available phase-cut dimmers cannot be ensured.
4.6 Power as a function of voltage
The nominal voltage of the light engine is 230 V. The operation range is 220–240 V. For voltage variations, the light engine is tested according to IEC/EN 61000-3-3. Please note
that the power of the light engine changes over the voltage
range. Please have a look at the diagrams below for the
power as a function of voltage.

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Thermal considerations
5 Thermal considerations
The proper thermal design of an LED luminaire is critical
for achieving the best performance and ensuring the longest lifetime of all components. Due to the high efficacy
of the PrevaLED® Core AC, only a partial amount of the
introduced electrical power has to be dissipated through
the back of the light engine. The thermal power that has
to be dissipated for PrevaLED® Core AC is given below.

5.4 Cooling systems and heat sinks
For the selection of a suitable heat sink, several points
regarding thermal resistance have to be considered.
* Values measured at the tc point, at a reference temperature (tr) of 65 °C
The selection is usually done through the following
necessary steps:
5.1 Thermal power over voltage
Please note that the thermal power of the module is related
to the line voltage. Please refer to the diagrams in chapter
4.6.
5.2 Thermal shutdown
To ensure the best performance and a long lifetime of all
components, the PrevaLED® Core AC features integrated
electronics which switch off the light engine when the temperature at the tc point reaches the critical value of 83 °C
(±5 °C). The light engine switches back on as soon as the
temperature has cooled down below 60 °C (±5 °C).
5.3 Thermal interface material and other accessories
When mounting a PrevaLED® Core AC within a luminaire,
it is highly recommended to use thermal interface material
(TIM) between the back of the light engine and the luminaire housing or heat sink. It is recommended to use
thermal paste, but thermal foil can also be used. In order
to balance possible unevenness, the material should be
applied as thinly as possible, but as thickly as necessary.
In this way, air inclusions, which may otherwise occur,
are replaced by TIM and the required heat conduction
between the back of the light engine and the contact
surfaces of the luminaire housing is achieved. For this
purpose, the planarity and smoothness of the surface
should be optimized.

Selection of a heat sink
Note: A thermal design must always be confirmed by performing a thermal measurement in steady-state condition.
It is recommended that the whole area of the PCB of a
PrevaLED® Core AC light engine is in contact with the solid
material of the heat sink.
Note: The positioning of the mounting holes is compatible
with Zhaga book 3. Therefore, off-the-shelf heat sinks developed for these modules are also suitable for PrevaLED®
Core AC light engines.

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Thermal considerations
Two examples of how to cool a PrevaLED® Core AC:
Location of the tc point
Example 1:
Light engine: PL-CORE AC-800-830-G1
Heat sink: Nuventix HP30S-CALBL-001 A01
TIM: Kerafoil 86/82
tambient: 22 °C
Temperature at the tc point: 65 °C
Example 2:
Light engine: PL-CORE AC-2000-830-G1
Heat sink: AVC ST05300001
TIM: Kerafoil 86/82
tambient: 23 °C
Temperature at the tc point: 48 °C
Please note that the solutions shown above are just examples. A thermal system always depends on many factors,
such as airflow, ambient temperature etc. Please check
your entire cooling system by performing a thermal measurement in steady-state condition.
The list below is a selection of suppliers of different cooling
solutions:
tc point
Note: tc according to IEC 62031 stands for case temperature, which is the highest permissible temperature measured
at the tc point. The tc point is the location where the tc is
measured (in the center of the back of the light engine).
tp (performance temperature) = tr (reference temperature) is
the reference temperature at which the datasheet values
are applicable.
A correct temperature measurement can, for example, be
performed with a thermocouple or a thermal sticker.

5.5 tc point location and temperature measurement
The tc point is the location to check if the chosen cooling
solution (heat sink and TIM) is sufficient to ensure the light
engine performance. The tc point is located on the back of
the light engine, in the center of the PCB (see image above).
To ensure a lifetime of 50 000 hours (L70B30), the reference
temperature (tr) at the tc point must not exceed 65 °C. The
maximum temperature reached at the tc point must not
exceed 80 °C.
5.5.1 Thermocouple
Use a thermocouple that can be glued onto the light
engine. Make sure that the thermocouple is fixed with
direct contact to the tc point.
Examples of suitable thermocouples:

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Thermal considerations
To measure the temperature and to ensure a good thermal
coupling between the light engine and the heat sink, drill a
hole into the heat sink and push the thermocouple through
it. To ensure a direct contact between the thermocouple
and the PCB, it is recommended to glue the thermocouple
onto the PCB. You can, for example, use an acrylic adhesive (e.g. type Loctite 3751).
5.5.2 Thermal sticker
You can also use thermal stickers to indicate the reference
temperature (tr) at the tc point of the light engine.
Attach the sticker to the light engine at the tc point (see
image below).
Mounting of a thermocouple through a hole in the heat sink
Thermal sticker before temperature measurement
It is also possible to use a sprung thermocouple. A suitable
type is: Electronic Sensor FS TE-4-KK06/09/2m. Please
note that a good thermal contact between the thermocouple and the PCB is required. Please refer to the datasheet and the application guideline of the manufacturer to
ensure correct handling.
Note: If you use a TIM, please do not apply thermal paste
to the sticker. In case you use thermal foil, please cut out
the area of the sticker.
Another possible way is to create a small groove along the
top surface of the heat sink and run the thermocouple inside the groove to the tc point.
Mount the light engine onto the heat sink and operate it
until a stable temperature has been reached. Dismount
the light engine and check the thermal sticker. For the
interpretation of the test result, refer to the datasheet of
the thermal sticker.
Mounting of a thermocouple by means of a groove
Thermal sticker after temperature measurement
Note: Please keep in mind that you need a direct contact
between the thermocouple and the PCB.
OMEGA BUA2-140/60-30 is a suitable thermal sticker,
which covers a temperature range between 60 and 77 °C.
5.5.3 Thermal dummy
On request, a Zhaga-specified thermal test dummy for
design-in tasks is available from your sales partner.

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Lifetime and thermal behavior
6 Lifetime and thermal behavior
6.1 Flux as a function of temperature
The luminous flux of the PrevaLED® Core AC light engine
depends on its temperature. 100 % of the luminous flux is
achieved at the reference temperature of 65 °C (tr = 65 °C).
This temperature has to be measured at the tc point. If the
reference temperature increases, the light output decreases.
The luminous flux changes in relation to the reference
temperature according to the following diagram:
Flux as a function of tc temperature
Relative flux [%]
104
6.2 Lifetime as a function of temperature
For the definition of the lifetime of a light engine, please refer to IEC/PAS 62717, where the following types are defined
(examples):
— L0C10 is the lifetime where the light output is 0 % for
10 % of the light engines.
— L70F50 is the lifetime where the light output is ≥ 70 % for
50 % of the light engines. F value includes reduction of
lumen output over time including abrupt degradation
(flux = 0).
— L70B50 is the lifetime where the light output is ≥ 70 % for
50 % of the light engines. B value includes only gradual
reduction of lumen output over time (not the abrupt flux
degradation).
If the reference temperature (tr) of 65 °C is maintained,
PrevaLED® Core AC light engines have an average lifetime
of 50 000 hours (L70B30). The maximum temperature

PrevaLED ® Core AC light engines | Mechanical considerations
7 Mechanical considerations
7.1 Outline drawing
The following schematic drawing provides further details
on the dimensions of PrevaLED® Core AC light engines.
For 3D files of the light engines, please go to:
www.osram.com.
7.3 Mechanical protection of the light engine
Note: The housing of a PrevaLED® Core AC light engine
must not be exposed to strong mechanical stress. Please
apply force only to the dedicated mounting positions.
Strong mechanical stress can lead to irreversible damage
of the light engine.
Technical drawing
Note: If the protection glass at the light-emitting surface or
any other part of the housing or the PCB is broken or mechanically damaged, you must no longer operate the light
engine. Please replace it immediately to avoid contact with
parts of the light engine that conduct 230 V!
For operation in damp, wet or dusty environments, the user
has to make sure that an adequate ingress protection is
chosen. The light engine has to be protected by a suitable
IP classification of the luminaire housing. Please consider
the luminaire standard IEC 60598-1 as well as the different
requirements.
kg
1. Don’t connect the module when the glass cover is broken.
2. Do not mechanically stress the module.
3. The LED light engine has to be built into a luminaire.
7.4 Mounting
To fix a PrevaLED® Core AC light engine to a heat sink, you
can use M3 cylinder-head screws according to DIN 7984. If
you cannot use DIN screws, please use the following specification: height of head not more than 2.6 mm, diameter of
head below 5.5 mm. The allowed torque is 0.4 to 0.6 Nm.

8 Assembly in a reference luminaire
To show you how easy it is to equip a luminaire with a
PrevaLED® Core AC, the following example guides you
through all necessary steps. In this case, the luminaire
housing is used as the heat sink.
8.1 Preparation
The first step is to drill the holes and threads to mount
the light engine according to chapter 7.4.
8.3 Mounting of the light engine
Before you can screw the light engine to the housing, you
need to glue the thermocouple to the PCB at the tc point.
Use the specified screws and do not apply more torque to
them than allowed in order to protect the light engine from
damage.
For the first test luminaire, drill an additional hole exactly at
the location of the tc point to connect the thermocouple
with the PCB.
Screw the light engine to the housing
Drill the mounting holes and a hole for the thermocouple
8.2 Attachment of the thermocouple
Run the thermocouple through the hole under the tc point.
Here, a thermal foil is used. In this case, please cut out a
hole in the area where you attach the light engine to the
PCB to ensure best possible thermal contact.
Run the thermocouple through the hole and cut out the TIM

8.4 Wiring
In this case, a protection class I luminaire is designed. All
metal parts have to be connected to earth. So the earth is
connected to the housing of the luminaire, the phase and
neutral conductors are connected to the light engine. Then
you can close the luminaire and you are ready to run the
thermal test.
8.5 Temperature measurement
To check the maximum temperature at the tc point, please
operate the luminaire in the orientation of its application
until a stable temperature is reached. Ensure that the
maximum tc temperature is not exceeded in the ambient
temperature of its application.
Wire the luminaire
Close the luminaire
Perform a steady-state thermal test
