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. Move me!

Please check the latest datasheet at www.osram.com/prevaled. 6 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. 7 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. Characteristic Max. number of light engines B 10 30 B 16 40 C 10 40 C 16 50 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. Possible system installations 8 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) LEP-CUB-AC-830-G1 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. In the following, you find two examples of how to cool a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine. Example 1: Light engine: LEP-CUB-AC-840-G1 Heat sink: Aluminum sheet metal (AlMg3) Dimensions: 200 x 200 x 2 mm TIM: Kerafoil 8620 Example 2: Light engine: LEP-CUB-AC-830-G1 Heat sink: Fischer Elektronik SK 464 Dimensions: 100 x 84 x 40 mm TIM: Thermal paste 9 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. Examples of suitable thermocouples: The list below is a selection of suppliers of different cooling solutions.

The tc point is located on the back of the light engine under the center of the diffuser (see image below). Temperature range [°C] PVC-insulated thermocouple -10 … +105 PFA-insulated thermocouple -75 … +260 Sprung thermocouple -75 … +260 Different thermocouples To measure the temperature and to ensure a good thermal coupling between light engine and heat sink, drill a hole into the heat sink and push the thermocouple through the heat sink. To ensure a direct contact between the thermocouple and the PCB, it is recommended to glue the thermocouple onto the PCB. 37.7 41.4 Description tc point All figures in mm Location of the tc point To ensure a lifetime of 40000 hours (L70B50), the reference temperature (tr) at the tc point must not exceed 65 °C 3). The maximum temperature reached at the tc point must not exceed 85 °C. A correct temperature measurement can, for example, be performed with a thermocouple or thermal sticker. Mounting of a thermocouple through a hole in the heat sink 3) This value is subject to improvement. Please check the latest datasheet at www.osram.com. 10 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. Mounting of a thermocouple by means of a groove 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). Thermal sticker after temperature measurement OMEGA BUA2-140/60-30 is a suitable product, which covers a temperature range between 60 and 77 °C. 11 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. 100 80 The following table shows the lifetime of a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine in relation to the temperature measured at the tc point. 60 40 20 0 20 30 40 50 60 Temperature [°C] Flux as a function of temperature 70 80 90 C10 failure rate Temperature at tc point Lifetime in hours 45 °C 67000 65 °C 20000 85 °C 6000 12 MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS 7. Mechanical considerations 18.5 7.1. Outline drawing The following schematic drawing provides further details on the dimensions of PrevaLED® Cube AC light engines. For 3D files of the light engines, please go to: www.osram.com/prevaled. 54 68 82 61 4.5 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. 83 kg All figures in mm 7.2. 3D drawing Don’ts 7.4. Mounting To fix a PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine to a heat sink, you may use M4 cylinder head screws according to DIN 912 or ISO 4762. The recommended torque is 0.5 Nm. Move me! Movable 3D PrevaLED® Cube AC light engine (works with Adobe Acrobat 7 or higher) Mount the light engine from the top Note: Make sure that the cover of the light engine cannot be removed. Therefore, provide sufficient fixation of the cover, e.g. by screwing it to the heat sink. 13 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.
