½ CAUTION! LED modules SLE G6 are basic isolated against ground up to 75 V (for LES10, LES15 and LES17: 50 V) and can be mounted directly on earthed metal parts of the luminaire. If the max. output voltage of the LED Driver (also against earth) is above 75 V (for LES10, LES15 and LES17: 50 V), an additional isolation between LED module and heat sink is required (for example by isolated thermal pads) or by a suitable luminaire construction.

Technical Design-in Guide SLE G6 | 12-2018 | 2.1 | en Optical Aspects 5.1. Colour spectrum The Dam&Fill technology used in chip on board (COB) products enables LEDs to be produced in special light colours or colour temperatures. This means that lighting systems can be created that are not only energy-efficient but also have excellent colour rendering.
Technical Design-in Guide SLE G6 | 12-2018 | 2.1 | en Optical Aspects CRI and Ra are determined by a test procedure. In this procedure eight colour samples (R1-R8) are illuminated both by the light in question and by a reference light source and the appearance of the samples under the different lights is compared.
Technical Design-in Guide SLE G6 | 12-2018 | 2.1 | en Optical Aspects An even more accurate approach is to specify the standard deviation from the target colour, based on levels of MacAdam ellipses. The unit for this is called "SDCM" (abbreviation for "Standard Deviation of colour Matching").

Lifetime, luminous flux and failure rate The luminous flux of an LED module decreases over lifetime. The L-value describes this behaviour. L70 means that the LED-module delivers 70% of the initial luminous flux. This value is always linked to a certain operation time and defines the lifetime of the LED module.

The lifetime of LED modules is highly dependent on the operating temperature. Exceeding the permissible temperature limits results in a significantly reduced lifetime or the destruction of the LED module SLE G6. Therefore, it is necessary to mount the LED module SLE G6 on an appropriate heat sink, which do not exceed the Rth value.
