THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.5. ECG thermal considerations
The installation of the ECG must ensure that the maximum
temperature at the T
c
is not exceeded. Further details on
thermal considerations for OPTOTRONIC
®
devices can be
found in the technical guide for OPTOTRONIC
®
, available
at:
www.osram.com/optotronic
.
4.6. Thermal management and lifetime
The PrevaLED
®
Core Z2 has a lifetime of 50,000 h
(L70B50*). If the temperature is exceeded, the specifi ca-
tion is left and, after further heat-up, the LED module is
switched off. Liftetime information (see datasheet) as well
as guarantee information for LED modules combined with
ECG at:
www.osram.com/prevaled-core
.
*) L70B50 defi nition: After 50,000 h, at least 50 %
of the observed LED modules still show 70 % of
the initial luminous fl ux.

4.7. Zhaga – thermal interface
Verifi cation of thermal interchangeability according to Zhaga:
Determine the thermal resistance
of the luminaire
Choose an applicable module
