LumiBar-26-3090-H6 Nichia LED Module 4000K CRI90 TriGain 1160lm

LumiBar-26-3090-H6 Nichia TriGain LED Module 4000K CRI90, Zhaga-Compatible 28 cm

The LumiBar-26-3090-H6 is a highly efficient rigid LED module for professional luminaires in commercial buildings and the medical sector. On its 28 cm board, 26 LEDs of the Nichia H6 series deliver up to 1160 lm of neutral white 4000K light, more than 4100 lm per meter, at about 6 W, an efficacy of up to 193 lm/W.

The key is TriGain® phosphor technology: a narrow-band red phosphor raises the color rendering index to 90 without the loss of efficacy that CRI90 LEDs usually show compared with CRI80 versions. So the module combines the light quality needed in shops, offices and medical environments with the energy savings of a high-efficiency light source. Designed according to the Zhaga Book 7 standard, it has a 20 mm wide board with solderless connection, is operated with a constant current LED driver and needs no additional heat sink. The narrow LED spacing avoids light spots, and 3-step MacAdam binning ensures consistent color. The module is made in Germany and backed by a 5-year warranty.

Applications of the LumiBar-26-3090-H6 LED Module

With its outstanding efficacy, CRI90 light quality and Zhaga-compatible format, the LumiBar-26-3090-H6 is designed for the following main applications:

• Linear lighting: Mounted end to end, four LumiBar-26-3090-H6 modules (1.12 m) fit a 1.2 m linear luminaire and deliver about 4640 lm at about 24 W, a powerful, efficient light source for general lighting of offices, shops, corridors, treatment rooms and other commercial and medical spaces. Read more in our guides on creating lines of light with LED strips and designing efficient LED linear lamps.
• Troffer and panel lighting: In troffers and LED panels for suspended ceilings, several modules are mounted in parallel rows on the base plate behind the diffuser. Their very high efficacy and CRI90 make them a high-quality replacement for fluorescent tubes in offices, classrooms, hospitals and shops, where good color rendering improves visual comfort and concentration. More about LED strips and modules for troffer lights.
• Horticulture: lettuce production: In vertical farms, rows of LumiBar-26-3090-H6 modules can be mounted under each cultivation level. Their 4000K CRI90 white spectrum covers the whole visible range with a single LED type, supporting healthy crop growth while allowing easy visual inspection and comfortable working conditions, and the high efficacy keeps energy costs low. See our page on LED grow lights for lettuce production.
• Horticulture: microgreens: For microgreens trays, the compact rigid modules can be positioned close to the crop canopy and distributed according to tray dimensions and shelf geometry to reach the target light level evenly. More on LED grow light engines for microgreens production.

Please note: the LumiBar-26-3090-H6 is not waterproof and is specified for operation at 10% to 60% relative humidity. For greenhouses, grow rooms and other humid environments, install it in a closed luminaire housing.

Built Around the Zhaga Standard (Book 7)

The Zhaga Consortium is a global lighting industry association that defines interface specifications, called Books, so that LED light engines from different manufacturers can be used interchangeably in the same luminaire. Zhaga Book 7 covers linear and square LED modules for indoor lighting that are operated with a separate LED driver and are mounted in the luminaire, and replaced, by professionals. It specifies the mechanical, thermal, photometric and electrical interfaces between the LED module and the luminaire, and defines 18 module categories by their maximum outer dimensions. In 2023, Book 7 became the first Zhaga specification to be published as an IEC standard, IEC 63356-2. More information is available on the Zhaga Book 7 page.

The LumiBar is designed according to Zhaga Book 7. With its dimensions of 279.5 x 20 mm, the LumiBar-26-3090-H6 fits the Book 7 category L28W2, which defines a maximum module size of 280 x 24 mm.

• For luminaire manufacturers: a luminaire body designed around the Zhaga form factor accepts standardized modules, so you can switch to newer, more efficient LED generations or a second source without redesigning the luminaire.
• For maintenance and upgrades: existing luminaires with Zhaga Book 7 modules can be serviced or upgraded with LumiBar modules, extending their service life.
• For sustainable lighting: replaceable, standardized light engines make luminaires serviceable and support the replaceability of light sources required by the EU Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/2020.

Installation and Operation

• Mounting: mount the module flat on the luminaire body, ideally on a metal surface for good heat transfer; no additional heat sink is required. Do not bend the rigid circuit board and avoid mechanical stress on the components.
• Connection: connect the module with its solderless terminals.
• LED driver: operate the module with a constant current LED driver matching its operating current. Several modules can be connected in series: the current of the string stays the same, and the voltages add up, so the total voltage must lie within the output voltage range of the driver. For dimming, use a dimmable driver.
• Handling: observe standard ESD precautions, keep the module away from aggressive chemicals, and store and operate it at 10% to 60% relative humidity.
• Safety: the driver must provide short-circuit, overload and overtemperature protection, and installation must comply with all applicable electrical and safety standards and should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Why the LumiBar-26-3090-H6 Outperforms Low-Cost LED Modules

• LED quality: we use only brand-name LEDs from Nichia, the Japanese LED market leader whose researchers invented the blue and white LED technology, with full manufacturer datasheets and performance tested in the lab and in real applications.
• Production quality: the modules are assembled in Germany on an ISO-certified line with high-speed automatic placement and vapor phase soldering under a protective gas atmosphere, which prevents oxidation and cold solder joints and improves the thermal connection between LED and circuit board, an important factor for LED lifetime. Laser bar codes ensure traceability.
• Realistic specifications: all values are measured at a junction temperature of 65°C, so the performance in our datasheet matches what you get in a real luminaire.
