Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
LED light sources are not interchangeable today • Most LED light sources are not interchangeable, until now.
• Typical differences are: – – – –
fit with heat sink (2, 3, or 4 screws) size of the heat sink size of the light emitting surface height of the light emitting surface
• Problem: – Change LED => Change heat sink & reflector in luminaire 18 March 2013

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
The interfaces of a light engine 1. Mechanical Interface related to dimensions
incl. “socket”
2. Photometrical Interface related for example to lumen
output, color, light distribution
3. Thermal Interface related for example to thermal
resistance, heat dissipation
4. Electrical Interface related to Power and
(AC or DC), insulation, earth
Controls (by reference to existing specifications)

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
Design freedom • The interface specification maximizes the design freedom inside the light engines and in the luminaires – See, for example, the design freedom for a socketable light engine with integrated control gear: Zhaga specification
Freedom in luminaire
Freedom in Light Engine
Mechanical: base defined, line voltage contacts, outer max dimensions
Design of lamp holder. Reflector fixation
alignment aids for reflector
Thermal: Method for characterization of LLE and luminaire
Shape and size of the heat sink. Active cooling / convection
Junction temperature Internal thermal resistance Thermal derating
Photometric: light distribution Categories of lumen output , CRI, and colour temperatures
Reflector design, glare
Lumen output, CRI, colour temperature
Quality and performance: Nothing specified

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
Zhaga • Zhaga is a consortium of industry players that creates – Standardised interfaces for LED Light engines to secure a stable design platform for luminaire designers and manufacturers
• Zhaga is an industry-wide co-operation: – LED light engine manufacturers – LED luminaire manufacturers – Components additionally necessary (heat sinks, optics….)
• Zhaga is an open co-operation – open to any company that subscribes to the vision/mission and is willing to contribute to the success
• Zhaga is a global co-operation – Zhaga is a co-operation of companies from all regions – Zhaga will set global standards

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
Speed • Zhaga will move fast. – The industry needs light engine standards now.
• Zhaga will establish its standards first as an industry standard • Zhaga will offer the finished standards to an SDO*, such as IEC, for formal standardization.
* Standard Development Organization

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
Enable alternative implementations • Whenever practically possible, the Zhaga consortium will set interface standards that allow more than one implementation of the light engine – margins and tolerances should be broad – interface specifications should not imply a single technical solution
• This should prevent that only a single company can manufacture a Zhaga-compliant light engine

Zhaga – LED Light Engine Interface Specifications
Certification, Compliance, Logo and Fees • Zhaga will establish methods for certifying that: – LED light engines comply with the standard, – complementary components comply with the standard.
• Only certified products are allowed to carry the Zhaga logo and name of the standard
• Certification will be done by independent test labs • Zhaga members pay an annual membership fee – Membership fees are used for the organization of meetings, publicity, promotion of the standard and to monitor certification
• Members participating in standardization activities carry their own costs (travel, salary cost, prototyping, measurements etc.)
18 March 2013
