construct the cable is to cut the two spare cables in half and stripping the wire lead ends
about 3/8” (9mm) on three of the halves. Plug the connectors of these three cable halves into
the driver and each light engine assembly. Finally, connect the stripped leads as indicated
in Figure 4.

Electrical Connections
When using constant current LED drivers with high compliance voltage (Advance, LED Works,
etc. or a custom driver) the output of the supply must be connected to the part before power is
applied to the input of the supply. For more information refer to Lamina’s connection application
note which can be found on the website at www.laminalighting.com.
Assembly Recommendations
TM
Lamina’s Atlas Series Light Engines are designed for attachment to a heat sink with
conductive epoxy, or screw down for flange mount devices with thermal grease in the joint. For
attachment using screws a 4-40 UNC round head or metric equivalent M3 x 0.5 cheese head
screw, 18-8 SS is recommended. When mounting the light engine, position the four screws in
the center of each of the four slots. Tighten the four screws eventually, first to about 0.89 inch
pounds (56 Newton-centimeters), and then tighten each to a maximum torque of 5 inch pounds
(45 Newton-centimeter). Flatness requirement of the surface that the light engine is mounted
to is 0.001 inch/inch (1mm/meter). To prevent damage when using conductive epoxy do not
use mounting screws.

AtlasTM, NT-4000 White Developer Kits
Operating Instructions
Lamina’s NEW AtlasTM, White Developer Kit series enable users to quickly discover the world
of solid state lighting and realize the power of Lamina’s super-bright LED light engines. This
kit is intended for the rapid evaluation and prototyping of LED lighting solutions based on the
Lamina Warm White or Daylight White light engines. The kit is fully assembled and includes
everything needed to jump start your design efforts. This comprehensive kit includes Warm
White and Daylight White light engine Assemblies, wide and medium optics, a matched,
commercially available, constant current driver prewired with AC and DC connections, AC
plug adaptors and extra DC connectors.

1.
Remove the Warm White light engine assembly and driver from the kit case and place
them on a suitable work surface near an AC power outlet. Please verify the DC/DC
connection cable is correctly attached between the light engine and driver. Also, verify
the AC power cord is properly connected to the driver.
2.
CAUTION: Lamina LED Light Engines are extremely BRIGHT! Apply power directly
to the light engine with it pointing away from your eyes, or wear suitable protective
eyewear. Plug the driver’s AC power cord into a 120VAC/60Hz power outlet (230 VAC/
50HZ) depending on model selection.
3.
To test the included optics, insert the legs of the optic holder into the four corner holes
in Lamina’s EZ Connect board. The EZ Connect board is designed to align the optic to
the center of the light engine and allow the optic to rest on the light engine surface.
4.
To apply power to the Daylight White light engine assembly, unplug the AC power and
detach the DC/DC connection cable from the Warm White Assembly. Plug the DC
connection cable into the Daylight White Assembly then replug the AC cord.
NOTE: Please unplug the AC power before connecting or disconnecting the LED Light
Engine to avoid potential damage to the Light Engine or the driver.

DC Connection Between Light Engine and Driver
Figure 2.
Figure 3.
DC Connection between Light Engine and Driver
The DC connection between the light engine and the driver is shown in Figure 2. Although
the DC/DC connection cable is keyed to facilitate correct attachment to the light engine
assembly, two connection orientations are possible. The proper connection is to terminals 5
and 6 of the EZ Connect Board; this is the side opposite from the dot indicating terminal 1.
If the cable is improperly connected to terminals 1 and 2 of the EZ Connect Board, the light
engine cannot be powered, but this should not result in damage to the light engine. Two
spare DC/DC connection cables are included for prototyping.
Attaching to your Fixture or Assembly
The light engine assembly can be mounted in several configurations. Ideally, the light engine
should be configured horizontally, thereby allowing the heat to radiate through the vertically
oriented fins. Alternate assembly positions are also possible. The orientation of the fins will
determine how efficiently the heat sink can dissipate the thermal energy.
Handling Precaution
Contact with the silicone based encapsulated on the surface of the light engine must be
avoided to prevent damage. Do not apply pressure to the silicone based encapsulant or
allow it to come into contact with sharp objects. Lamina LED light engines must be handled
from the sides.

Configuration
options with AtlasTM White Light Engines
TM
Both Atlas White light engines can be connected in series and driven simultaneously using
the included 700mA 17W constant current driver. This is useful for a side by side comparison
of the light properties of the AtlasTM Warm White and Daylight White light engines. Two spare
DC connection cables are provided to construct a cable for this purpose. A simple way to
