Thermal Management
The SZ-05-H3 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.
Optic Compatibility
The Saber Z5 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 Z5 is also compatible with:
- Ledil – Larisa & Lisa series
- Khatod – PL1670 & PL1699 series
Mixed Color LEDs
Need different color LEDs mounted to a single Quad LED module? A color-mixing version of this module is available.
Stock
We usually keep a small number of this part in stock. However, we can produce virtually any quantity you require on demand. Please get in touch with us for lead times for orders above 1,000 pieces.
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.

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-05-H3 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.
All the optics except the Polymer 15 mm optic are 100% compatible with the SZ-05-H3 LED module. Polymer 15 mm optics cannot be used if you select the connector option.
Note: The optics listed here may not be ideal for ultraviolet or infrared LEDs. You will need to test the optic for your specific application.
