LUMAWISE Drive LED Holder Type Z50 DALI-2

TE Connectivity has announced the LUMAWISE Drive LED Holder Type Z50 DALI-2 (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) series for chip-on-board (COB) LEDs used in track and spot lighting.

Designed for 48 VDC input, the holder incorporates DC/DC constant current LED driver functionality into a low-profile LED holder, enabling lighting designers to develop more compact lighting products.

It integrates the driver into the same form factor as TE’s 50 mm-diameter Zhaga-inspired range of LUMAWISE LED holders for COB LEDs. Until recently, most LED drivers were housed in a box, often larger than the light fixture itself, mounted to the side of the luminaire and remote from the COB light source. This configuration required wiring between the light source and driver, creating design and manufacturing complexity. The holders allow more simplicity and flexibility in lighting design.
