PrevaLED ® Core AC PRO 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 PRO 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 PRO series of light engines is
ideally suited for use in reflector-based luminaires (such as
spotlights and downlights) in shop, hospitality, decorative
or office applications.
Benefits
— PrevaLED® Core AC PRO 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.
— Special energy-storage components enable an increased
quality of light while at the same time managing the light
modulation to be on par with standard drivers.
— Omitting the external driver allows for smaller, simpler,
slimmer and – last but not least – more cost-efficient
luminaire designs.
— Logistics and manufacturing are drastically simplified
thanks to the lack of the external driver and special
connecting cables, and also the reduced housing and
fixation materials.
— The PrevaLED® Core AC PRO family is easy to integrate
since its mechanical and optomechanical interface is
derived from the “Zhaga book 3” guideline, which reduces
design-in effort and allows the use of standard reflectors
and heat sinks. Although there currently is no standard
available for AC spotlight engines, the LES sizes as well
as the diameters and positioning of mounting holes are
derived from the Zhaga standards, similar to the
PrevaLED® Core Z3 and Z4 product ranges.
— The engines are outfitted with a standard 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 PRO 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 PRO is available in 2 000 and
3 000 lm, in two color temperatures (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
109 lm/W with a power factor of > 0.9.
— Lifetime is 50 000* hours (L70B50) at tp of 65 °C.
— tc max. = 85 °C.

2.1 Modulation of light
Due to the improved geometry and size of the PrevaLED®
Core AC PRO, it was possible to add capacitors to the
electrical circuit which reduce the modulation of the 100-Hz
frequency down to less than 40 %. More than 60 % of the
luminous flux level are always available.
2.2 Light distribution
The light distribution of the light engine is shown in the
graph below. The PrevaLED® Core AC PRO creates a beam
angle of 110° FWHM (full width at half maximum).

PrevaLED ® Core AC PRO light engines | Ingress protection | Electrical considerations
3 Ingress protection
The PrevaLED® Core AC PRO 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 PRO 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 release the clamps, please use an operating tool (Wago type: 233-335) or a small screwdriver.

PrevaLED ® Core AC PRO light engines | Electrical considerations
4.2 Insulation requirements
The PrevaLED® Core AC PRO 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 lightemitting surface which is connected directly to 220–240 VAC.
The PrevaLED® Core AC PRO has basic insulation. In class II
luminaires, additional care needs to be taken. The light engine
and all connected electrically conductive parts (e.g. a metal
heat sink) must be mounted in a way that they cannot be
touched by the user.
4.3 Inrush current and system installation
Due to its electronic construction, the PrevaLED® Core AC
PRO has a minimum inrush current. In system installations,
the number of light engines which can be attached to one
circuit is limited by the voltage drop regulations and the
used diameter of the connecting wire.
4.4 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
It is not necessary to handle the PrevaLED® Core AC PRO
in electrostatic protected areas (EPAs).
To protect the light engine from electrostatic damage, the
module must not be opened. The light engine fulfills the
requirement of the immunity standard IEC/EN 61547.
4.5 Controllability
Due to the integrated drive electronics, a good compatibility
with any available phase-cut dimmer 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 PRO 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 PRO, 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 PRO is given below.

5.1 Thermal power as a function of 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 achieve the best possible performance of the module
and to protect it from damage by overheating, a thermal
protection feature has been added. The characteristics of
the thermal protection are shown in the following diagram.
5.4 Cooling systems and heat sinks
For the selection of a suitable heat sink, several points
regarding thermal resistance have to be considered.
The selection is usually done through the following
necessary steps:

5.3 Thermal interface material and other accessories
When mounting a PrevaLED® Core AC PRO 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.
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 PRO 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 PRO light engines.

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. 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).
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:
K-type thermocouple with miniature connector

10
PrevaLED ® Core AC PRO 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).
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.
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.

PrevaLED ® Core AC PRO 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 PRO light engine
depends on its temperature. 100 % of the luminous flux is
achieved at the performance temperature of 65 °C (tp = 65 °C).
This temperature has to be measured at the tc point. If the
performance 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
2000 lm
Relative flux [%]
3000 lm
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 performance temperature (tp) of 65 °C is maintained,
PrevaLED® Core AC PRO light engines have an average
lifetime of 50 000* hours (L70B50). The maximum temperature
measured at the tc point must not exceed 85 °C.

Note: Higher tc temperatures lead to a shorter lifetime of
the PrevaLED® Core AC PRO light engines. Moreover, the
failure rate will also increase.

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 PRO light engine to a heat
sink, you can use M3 cylinder-head screws according to
DIN 7984 or DIN EN ISO 4762. The allowed torque is
0.6 Nm (±0.1 Nm).

7.3 Mechanical protection of the light engine
Note: The housing of a PrevaLED® Core AC PRO 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.
7.5 Protection from corrosion
To protect electronic parts (such as LEDs) from corrosion,
a corrosive atmosphere around the components has to be
avoided. In case of LEDs, H2S, for example, is a highly
corrosive substance which can lead to a drastically shortened product lifetime. The source for H2S are sulfur-crosslinked polymers, such as rubber. To ensure the absence of
H2S, it is recommended to use peroxide-cross-linked
materials, which are available on the market as an alternative
to sulfur-cross-linked versions. Avoidance of corrosion by
moisture has to be ensured by the appropriate protection of
the luminaire housing (see chapter 3 “Ingress protection”).
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!
