PrevaLED ® Core Z3 LED modules | Introduction
1.1 System overview
Building an LED-based luminaire poses a new set of tech-
nical 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 un-
precedented levels of performance.
This technical application guide will support you in tackling
the challenges and taking full advantage of all opportunities
PrevaLED
® Core LED modules have to offer.
Focussing on continuous improvement of performance and
costs, OSRAM has introduced its new generation
of Zhaga spotlight LED modules: PrevaLED
® Core Z3,
together with the dedicated on/off and intelligent
OPTOTRONIC
® electronic control gear (ECG) ranges.
Future-proof concept
To allow for a smooth transition to this new generation
of the PrevaLED
® Core series, crucial features have
remained the same:
— System approach with OPTOTRONIC ® ECGs
— Form factor and mechanical/optical interfaces
— Compatibility with off-the-shelf accessories
according to Zhaga book 3.
1 Introduction
1.2 Nomenclature
Of course, important improvements
have been realized as well:
— Effi cacy of the modules
— 5 000-lm package
— Price position
— Power supply/LED module interface – fi t to standard
cables and standard constant-current power supplies
(on/off and intelligent)
Applications
The PrevaLED
® Core series of LED modules is ideally
suited for use in refl ector-based, rotation-symmetric
luminaires (such as tracklights, cardans, and downlights) in
shop, hospitality, decorative or offi ce applications.
