Saber Z4 – LUXEON Z 20mm Square Color Mixing Array
The Saber Z4 Color Mixing Array features four closely spaced LUXEON Z LEDs reflow soldered to a 20mm (0.8°) square aluminum board.
This ready-to-use color mixing LED module can be ordered with any color combination of LUXEON Z LEDs, including a selection of UV LEDs. The LEDs can be powered separately or in series with the application of solder bridges between three series connection pads.
The Saber Z4 can be worked with using standard benchtop tools and hand soldering techniques. This opens up new opportunities for Makers, R&D, MRO and low & medium volume OEM manufacturers to use the super small series of LUXEON Z LEDs in color mixing applications without the need for specialized pick and place equipment or reflow soldering.
The Saber Z4 features a thermally efficient, 1.6mm (0.063°) thick MCPCB aluminum base with temperature test points.

Important Notes About Ordering The Saber Z4 Color Mixer
- Orders for color mixers cannot be canceled or altered once your order has been reviewed and submitted to production! So be very sure that you have selected the correct LEDs before you submit your order!
- Before you order cyan LEDs, please be sure to read this important information about color variations.
- Modules are designed to power each LED separately for controlled color mixing. However, you can easily convert the module to power all four LEDs in series with two solder dots. See the connection diagrams below.
Thermal Management
The SZ-04 Saber Z5 LED module requires careful attention to mounting and cooling to ensure that the junction temperature of the LED is kept well below the maximum rating specified in the Lumileds datasheet. Bench testing that we have conducted with SZ-05 modules with all LEDs powered at 700mA in an open-air environment and an ambient temperature of 25°C has indicated that a heat sink with a thermal rating of 10 C°/W or lower should be adequate. However, you will need to perform your own testing and analysis to determine if this size of heat sink will be suitable for your application. We recommend that the module be mounted to an aluminum or copper finned heatsink exposed to open air for optimal cooling. The module can be mounted to the heat sink in one of two ways:
- 20mm square pressure-sensitive, thermally conductive tape (Recommended)
- Arctic Silver thermally conductive adhesive
Before fastening the module to the heat sink, ensure that the two mating surfaces are perfectly flat and clean to maximize heat transfer to the heatsink. Mechanical fasteners are not recommended for this module. The bottom of the LED module is electrically neutral, so it is unnecessary to electrically isolate the base from the cooling surface.
Connection
Note that working with the Luxeon Z Color Mixing Array will require intermediate-level soldering skills. 
Optic Compatibility
The Saber Z4 has been specifically designed to accommodate any Carclo 20mm optic that can be mounted into the Carclo 20mm Pegged Foot Optic Holder. We currently do not carry these optics; however, the Saber Z4 is also compatible with:
- Ledil – Larisa & Lisa series
- Khatod – PL1670 & PL1699 series
LED Binning
Order quantities of less than 500 pieces are produced from unbinned stock (cut strips). We can supply binned LED modules (built from full reels)) If you order in 500+ quantities, please contact us for binning details. You can learn more about LED binning here.
A current-regulating LED driver is required between the power supply and the LED module to ensure that the LED is not powered above its maximum current rating. You can learn more about powering high-power LED modules here.
All drivers listed here are 100% compatible with the SZ-04 LED module. The driver you select will depend on your specific requirements.

High-power LEDs include a primary optic for protection and light optimization. However, a secondary optic is often essential for better focus and light distribution.
