TE LUMAWISE Type Z LED holders

The TE LUMAWISE Type Z LED holders are designed to provide quick and easy mechanical and electrical connections of chip-on-board (COB) LED arrays in a wide variety of lighting designs. They can be used to develop Zhaga-compliant modules.

Low-profile versions are available, all featuring a snap-in retention that secures the LED in the holder during assembly and ensures proper positioning in the fixture. The LED holders are now also offered with an attachment feature for LEDIL optics, so the lighting designer can opt for beam-shaping flexibility in spot and downlight applications.

The unit holds the COB-LED in place on the heatsink with the help of a sticky tape mounting or LED clamping. The electrical connection is created without any need for soldering — a simple poke-in wire connection suffices. Wire sizes 18 and 20 AWG can be used solid, fused and stranded. Attachment of LEDIL Elise optics is also simple. The high-reflectivity housing is moulded in a flame-retardant, halogen- and red phosphorus-free thermoplastic, rated V-0 under UL94.

Holders fit to the standardised mounting footprint as described by Zhaga, so they will be widely accepted. They are suitable for use in a wide range of new and retrofit interior and exterior applications, including spotlights, track lights, recessed downlights, wall sconces, reading lamps, area and object lighting, streetlights, architectural lighting, sign and symbol luminaires, and runway lights.
