• Long life: up to 100,000 hours depending on color
• OSRAM Power TOPLED
®
allows high luminous flux
• 120° viewing angle per LED
• Low profile (<5mm) allows installation where space
is limited
• Each module has 8 movable coupons connected
with wires
• Minimal heat generation
• Wire interconnects allow flexible mounting.
Total length can be varied from 0.8 ft. to 1.8 ft.
• Mounting hole allows easy installation by screw
or snap-in spacers
• Three modules can be connected head to tail. Up to six
modules in series with power fed to the center of the strip
• Many modules can be connected in parallel (limited only
by power source capacity and UL considerations)
The OSRAM SYLVANIA BACKlight – an innovative
alternative to neon and other conventional lighting.
BACKlight modules offer alternatives to traditional neon
sources. The main advantages of LED BACKlight over neon
or cold cathode sources are reduced manufacturing costs,
durability, reduced maintenance costs, and small size.
BACKlighting lamp modules are ideally suited to fit contours
and curves typical to advertising space and channel letters,
and can be used for general signage applications too. They
are available in red, yellow, true green, white, orange and blue.
OPTOTRONIC
®
LED power supplies from OSRAM SYLVANIA
are specially designed to operate the BACKlight modules
at 10.5V. A range of UL Class 2 power supplies are available
for indoor and outdoor, dry and damp location use.
• Listed in UL Sign Accessory Manual (SAM)
• Conformally coated to protect against moisture and
condensation (IP22)
• Available as a system with matching OPTOTRONIC

Safety Information
1. The LED module and its components should not be mechanically stressed.
2. Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.
3. To avoid mechanical damage to the connecting cables, the boards should be attached securely to the intended substrate.
Heavy vibration should be avoided.
4. Detach each circuit board unit of the module only be severing the connecting cables (with power disconnected).
The LED Module incorporates no protection against short circuits, overload or overheating. Therefore it is necessary to operate
the modules with an electronically stabilized power supply offering protection against the above mentioned safety risks.
OSRAM OPTOTRONIC power supplies are specifically designed with protection features for safe operation.
When using power supplies other than OPTOTRONIC the following basic safety features should be verified in addition to any
other application specific concerns and local safety codes:
• Short circuit protection
• Overload protection
• Overheat protection
• Correct output voltage, including consideration for ripple and spikes.
5. Installation of LED modules (with power supplies) needs to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety standards.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.
6. Correct electrical polarity needs to be observed. Wrong polarity may destroy the module!
7. Parallel connection is highly recommended for safe electrical operation mode. Serial connection of more than 3 modules
is not recommended. Unbalanced voltage drop can cause hazardous overload and damage the LED module.
8. Electrical contact is achieved with the contact cables. A maximum of 3 modules can be installed consecutively from one power feed.
Operation with more than 3 consecutive BACKlight modules will reduce photometric performance and exceed the current carrying
capacity of the module. If more than 3 modules are connected in series (maximum 6), power feed should be to the center of the string.
9. The module itself is protected against condensation water with a polymeric conformal coating. Supplementary soldering on any solder
pad will destroy the conformal coating and with it protection against condensation water.
10. Operation in or under water is not allowed.
Assembly Information
1. Mounting of the LED module may be performed with screws or Snap-In spacer (e.g. from Richco www.richco-int.com)
by using 4 mm holes in the circuit board. See the “BACKlight Intallation Guide” for more details.
2. The mounting of the module is carried out by attaching it at the mounting holes. Mounting screws should be used with
synthetic washers to prevent circuit board damage and possible short circuiting.
3. A maximum of 3 modules can be installed consecutively from any power feed. Installation with more than 3 BACKlight Modules
may take the form of, for example, either 6 modules installed consecutively with a power feed to the center or with a splitting
of the power feed to contact groups of 3 modules.
4. To connect the LED modules with each other or with OPTOTRONIC Power Supply we recommend standard connectors
(e.g. WAGO 243-214 or 224-201).
5. Derate maximum LED load for remote mounting or exterior applications. Contact OSRAM SYLVANIA for details.
