2.3 Melanopic effect


The melanopic effect determines the circadian effect of a
light source and influences the wellness of human beings.
The melanopic values describe how strong the melanopin-­
containing retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) are stimulated
by light. In analogy to the definition of the V (λ) curve for
the spectral sensitivity of the photoreceptor cells, Smel (λ),
which expresses the spectral sensitivity for these photo-
receptors, was defined.

According to this, the melanopic luminous flux describes


the radiant flux of a light source, evaluated with the spectral
sensitivity of the melanopic (non-visual) photoreceptors.

The melanopic factor describes the ratio between the


melanopic and the photometrically effective amount of
radiation. This factor is higher when a light spectrum
stimulates the non-visual system more strongly.

Daylight-equivalent values practically represent a bench-


mark with reference to natural daylight.

Thus, the melanopic daylight-equivalent luminous flux


­related to 1000 lm indicates how many lumen of daylight
are needed to achieve an equally large non-visual
­stimulation as with the mentioned artificial light.

coordinates and efficacy of LEDs

2.4.1 Typical properties of LEDs


The luminous flux and the color coordinates of an LED
are not only subject to manufacturing tolerances, but
also depend on its operating conditions.

The following pictures show typical curves for the


dependency of luminous flux and color locations on
forward current or temperature:

To achieve the best possible match between the desired


and the achieved color coordinates of mixed light, non-linear
dependencies must be considered when calculating the
LED currents.

Lifetime data
PrevaLED ® TW modules have a nominal service life of
50,000 hours (L80B10) at a tc point temperature of 55 °C.
This means that after 50,000 hours, at least 90 % of LED
modules provide at least 80 % of the initial luminous flux.

The following diagram shows the lumen maintenance


factor depending on the service life for rated and maxi-
mum temperature.

(AWG 24-18). The usage of rigid wires is recommended.

Stripping length

Wire stripping length

The conductors must be stripped to a length of 8 to 9 mm


and inserted axially into the terminal with an orientation
of 0°.

The PrevaLED ® Linear TW modules have bushings (see


picture). These allow wiring from the rear to avoid un-
wanted shadows.

Cable entry from the rear Disconnecting the connection cable

4.3 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)


The PrevaLED ® modules meet the requirements of IEC/
EN 61547. It must be considered that an electrostatic dis-
charge exceeding 2 kV HBM (Human Body Model) can
lead to a damage or even a complete failure of the module.

OSRAM therefore recommends that the storage and


handling of PrevaLED ® Linear TW modules are carried
out in accordance with the acknowledged methods for
protection against ESD damage.

4.4 Possible combinations (non-isolated)

OTi DALI TW driver – non-isolated


PrevaLED® Linear TW modules are designed for operation­
with OTi DALI drivers. To avoid deviating color temperatures
or brightness levels of the TW modules, a driver shall only
operate them in series connection. The current setting of
OTi DALI is done with the Tuner4TRONIC® configuration
tool.

naire/application.

5.1 Introduction and definitions


For any LED module, including the PrevaLED® Linear G4
family, different temperatures (tp, tc, tc max etc.) are men-
tioned in the data sheet. They are sometimes mixed up,
therefore a short overview is given:
—— tp is the performance temperature of the module.
This means that all the tables, diagrams and numbers
in the data sheet (and in this technical application
guide) refer to the performance temperature tp (if not
mentioned otherwise).
—— tc max is the absolute maximum temperature up to
which the operation of the LED module is allowed.

All temperature values mentioned above are measured


at the same position on the LED module, which is called
the “tc point” of the LED module. Its position on the
PrevaLED ® Linear G4 LED modules is shown on the next
page.

Tunable White LED systems with constant-current drivers  |  Thermal considerations

Position of the tc measurement point on PrevaLED ® Linear TW modules

tc measurement point

The easiest way to measure the temperature at the tc point


is to use a thermocouple. It is recommended to use a
thermocouple that can be glued onto the LED module.
Make sure that the thermocouple is fixed with direct
contact to the tc point and that it does not touch any
conductive parts of the module.
