Description
LedEngin’s LZ4-00WW15 Warm White Power LedFlex™ emitter is capable of 15W power
dissipation and provides exceptional luminous flux density. The LZ4-00WW15 offers ultimate
design flexibility with separate electrical and thermal paths. The thermal contact can be
mounted directly to a heatsink, eliminating the requirement for a MCPCB. The Anode and
Cathode contacts are remotely located on the Flex PCB, allowing for connection versatility and
unobstructed access to the optics. LedEngin’s patent-pending thermally insulated phosphor
layer provides for exceptional spatial color uniformity across the radiation pattern and a
consistent CCT over time and temperature. The patent-pending design has unparalleled
thermal and optical performance. The high quality materials used in the package are chosen to
optimize light output and minimize stresses which results in monumental reliability and lumen
maintenance.

Product Nomenclature
The LZ Series part number designation is defined as follows:
LZA–BCDEFG-HJKL
Base Part Number
Bin Code
Where:
A – designates the number of LED die in the package (“4” for 15W)
B – designates the package level (“0” for Emitter)
C – designates the radiation pattern (“0” for Lambertian)
D and E – designate the color (“WW” for Warm White: 2870 K < CCT < 3700 K)
F and G – designate the Power (“15” for 15W typical rating)
H – designates the Flux bin (See Table 2)
J and K – designate the CCT bin groups (see Figure 1 and Table 4)
L – designates the V
F
bin (See Table 3)
Ordering information:
For ordering LedEngin products, please reference the base part number. The base part number
represents any of the luminous flux, chromaticity groups, or forward voltage bins specified in the
binning tables below. For ordering products with special bin selections, please contact a
LedEngin sales representative or authorized distributor.

Notes for Table 1:
1. The standard soak time is the sum of the default value of 24 hours for the semiconductor manufacturer’s exposure
time (MET) between bake and bag and the floor life of maximum time allowed out of the bag at the end user of
distributor’s facility.
Average Lumen Maintenance Projections
Lumen maintenance generally describes the ability of a lamp to retain its output over time. The
useful lifetime for solid state lighting devices (Power LEDs) is also defined as Lumen
Maintenance, with the percentage of the original light output remaining at a defined time period.
Based on long-term WHTOL testing, LedEngin projects that the LZ Series will deliver, on
average, 90% Lumen Maintenance at 100,000 hours of operation at a forward current of
1000 mA. This projection is based on constant current operation with junction temperature
maintained at or below 125°C.
