INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction
1.1. System overview
The brightness levels of today’s LEDs are opening the
door for the use of LEDs in general lighting applications
that require high lumen output levels. Building an LEDbased luminaire poses a new set of technical challenges,
among them new optical requirements, providing adequate thermal management for stable operation and dealing with the ever-improving performance of LEDs. Nevertheless, LED technology also offers an unknown wealth
of possibilities, providing access to unprecedented levels
of performance and new ways of integration.
OSRAM’s PrevaLED® family of LED light engines addresses the challenges of LED-based lighting while providing
users with great performance and flexibility at the same
time. Enabled by the application of LED technology,
PrevaLED® is aiming to push the envelope of what is
possible in terms of performance and simplicity.
The PrevaLED® Cube AC series of light engines is ideally
suited for use in highly diffuse wall-mounted and ceilingmounted luminaires in decorative, hospitality or domestic
applications as well as in a broad range of wide-reflectorbased applications such as downlights.
Dummy of a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine
The PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines provide several
specific benefits for these applications:
• With the LED sources and the electronic control circuitry
placed on the same board and packaged into a unique
compact design, they offer an integrated system solution.
• Little design-in effort is required due to the integration of
the electronic control circuitry into the light engine, offering a new level of simplicity.
• They provide high performance in terms of both the
complete system efficiency and the quality of light
(small color deviation, no recognizable light modulation).
• Due to the low height of only 18.6 mm as well as the
established footprint and means of mechanical fixation,
a large number of existing accessories (optics, heat
sinks etc.) can easily be adapted.
• All in all, PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines do not only
offer a low threshold for the adaption of LEDs, but also a
significant increase in flexibility for applications already
adapted to LED technology.
At present, the PrevaLED® Cube AC series is available as
a 1100-lm package in two light colors (3000 K and 4000 K)
with a color reproduction of Ra > 80.

INGRESS PROTECTION/ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
3. Ingress protection
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines have 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 at www.osram.com.
4. Electrical considerations
4.1. Wiring information
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines can be directly connected to mains voltage (220–240 V, 50/60 Hz).
The used input clamps can handle solid or flexible wire
with a diameter of 0.2 to 0.75 mm² (AWG24–18). The use
of solid wire is recommended.
Notes:
• The connector is designed for three poke-in and release
cycles.
• Due to the fact that you are dealing with 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)
Wire preparation
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 a
small screwdriver.

ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.2. Insulation requirements
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines can be used in class I
luminaires without further action. The creepage distance
and clearance are fulfilled.
In class II luminaires, additional care needs to be taken
only in the area of the input connector. Between connection wires with basic insulation and touchable metal parts
or the heat sink, a second insulation layer is required.
The light engine itself has double/reinforced insulation.
4.3. Inrush current and system installation
Due to their electronic construction, PrevaLED® Cube AC
light engines have a minimum inrush current. In system
installations, you can connect the following amounts of
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines to circuit breakers with
different characteristics.

4.4. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
It is not necessary to handle PrevaLED® Cube AC light
engines in Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPAs).
To protect a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine from electrostatic damage, do not open it. 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 all available phase-cut dimmers cannot be ensured. For specific applications, OSRAM can validate the
dimming performance of a certain dimmer/light engine
combination. In case you have such a requirement, please
contact your sales partner.

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
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines, 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® Cube AC light
engines is given below.
5.2. 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.
Typical thermal power to be dissipated 2)

9.8 W
LEP-CUB-AC-840-G1
9.3 W
2) Values measured at the tc point at a reference temperature (tr) of 65 °C.
Depending on the application and the chosen light engine,
passive cooling can be sufficient. In critical applications
(e.g. small available heat sink size or highly reduced airflow), active cooling by means of a ventilator may be required. Active cooling combines a heat sink with a fan or
a similar device to maximize the thermal dissipation of the
passive heat sink.
5.1. Thermal interface material and other accessories
When mounting a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine within
a luminaire, it is 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 also thermal foil can 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 roughness of the surface should be optimized.
The list below is a selection of suppliers of thermal interface materials. Additional suppliers for thermal management support can also be found via OSRAM’s LED Light
for You network: www.ledlightforyou.com.

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® Cube AC light engine is in contact with the
solid material of the heat sink. The minimum area of the
PCB that has to have contact with the solid material of
the heat sink is 65 x 65 mm.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Please note that the shown solutions 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.
5.3.1. 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.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
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.
Thermal sticker before temperature measurement
Note: If you use a TIM, please do not apply thermal paste
to the sticker. In case you use a thermal foil, please cut
out the area of the sticker.

Afterwards, 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.
Note: Please keep in mind that you need a direct contact
between the thermocouple and the PCB.
5.3.2. Thermal sticker
You can also use thermal stickers to indicate the reference
temperature (tr) at the tc point of the light engine.
Please attach the sticker to the light engine at the tc point
(see images on the right).

LIFETIME AND THERMAL BEHAVIOR
6. Lifetime and thermal behavior
6.1. Cooling
To ensure a safe and reliable operation, the module
must be attached to a suitable cooling solution (e.g.
a heat sink).
6.2. Flux as a function of temperature
The luminous flux of PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines depends on their 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.
140
If the reference temperature (tr) of 65 °C is maintained,
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines have an average lifetime
of 40000 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® Cube AC light engines. Moreover, the failure rate will also increase.
120
Relative flux [%]
6.3. Lifetime as a function of temperature
Note: For the definition of the lifetime of an LED module,
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 modules.
• L70F50 is the lifetime where the light output is ≥ 70 % for
50 % of the modules. 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 modules. B value includes only gradual reduction of lumen output over time.

7.3. Mechanical protection of the light engine
The housing of a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine should
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.
Note: If the diffuser material 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 urgently 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 for indoor and outdoor application.
Note for France: Due to specific national regulations,
as defined in the standard EN 60598, it is not permitted
to expose the light engine outside a luminaire housing.

ASSEMBLY IN A REFERENCE LUMINAIRE
8. Assembly in a reference luminaire
To show you how easy it is to equip a luminaire with a
PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine, the following example
guides you through all necessary steps. In this case, the
luminaire housing is used as the heat sink.
8.2. Attachment of the thermocouple
Run the thermocouple through the hole under the tc point
and attach it to the PCB. In this case, the thermocouple is
glued onto the PCB.
8.1. Preparation
The first step is to position the light engine at the right
place in your luminaire and to drill the mounting holes. In
this case, M4 thread holes are used to screw the light engine directly to the housing.
For the first test luminaire, drill an additional hole exactly
at the location of the tc point to connect the thermocouple
with the PCB.
Glue the thermocouple onto the PCB and apply thermal paste
8.3. Mounting of the light engine
Before you can screw the light engine to the housing, it is
recommended to use a thermal paste to improve the thermal contact between the PCB and the housing. After applying the thermal paste, you can screw the light engine to
the housing. Use the specified screws and do not apply
more torque to them than allowed in order to protect the
light engine from being damaged.
Position the light engine
Drill the mounting holes and a hole for the thermocouple
Screw the light engine to the housing
14
ASSEMBLY IN A REFERENCE LUMINAIRE
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. Afterwards, 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
(wall-mounted/ceiling-mounted) until a stable temperature
is reached. Ensure that the maximum tc temperature is not
exceeded in the ambient temperature of its application.
