BoxLED® Plus DS
Double Sided LED Box Sign Modules
The BoxLED Plus DS LED chain modules are an ideal signage solution to light double sided box signs in place of traditional fluorescent tubes. The modules feature both 5000K and 6500K color temperatures and utilize Flat-Ray optical lens technology for bright, uniform illumination of both sides of double sided signs. The BoxLED Plus DS lighting system ships in 21 foot chains consisting of 16 modules each with 12 LEDs. The chain can be cut in-between each module creating a custom fit for each installation. These modules snap easily into accessory tracks without drilling orscrewing for incredibly fast and accurate installation. They are IP66 rated creating a seal against dust and moisture.
The BoxLED Plus DS modules are optimally paired with OPTOTRONIC ® 24Vdc power supplies available in both dimming and non-dimming models. These modules are listed in the UL Sign Components Manual (SAM) for new signage installations and are UL Classified for retrofit installations.
Application Information
Applications
— Backlighting of double sided box signs
— Signage and illuminated advertising
— Retrofitting T12H0 fluorescent lamps
Key Features & Benefits
— Chain of double-sided linear white LED modules ideally designed to replace fluorescent tubes in new or retrofitted double faced box signs
— Utilizes Flat-Ray optical lens technology for uniform illumination of both sides of double sided signs
— Single board cuttable
— Fully integrated heat sink
— IP66 rated to protect against dust, moisture, and condensation in outdoor operation
— Lower sign maintenance costs due to a lifetime of 50,000 hours (L70) at a TA of 25°C
— Fast and easy installation with a click-and-play mounting track and bracket accessory system – eliminating the need to drill and screw modules to the track
— Backed by a five year warranty when paired with OPTOTRONIC 24Vdc and 24Vdc dimmable power supplies
— Energy efficient alternative to fluorescent lamps in new or retrofit applications
— Accessories available to directly retrofit T12HO fluorescent lamps using existing R17d sockets
Track and socket accessories are available that turn the BoxLED Plus DS Modules into a direct retrofit for T12HO fluorescent lamps. The adapter sockets slide onto the ends of the new adapter track enabling the system to fit directly into R17d sockets. The same track and sockets can be used to retrofit any size T12HO up to F96, minimizing the number of SKUs that are required to be stocked.

Power Supply Information
| Item Number | Ordering Abbreviation | Max. No. of Modules |
| 51598 | OT50W/24V/120V/LP | 6 |
| 51514 | OT75W/24V/UNV | 10 |

| 51627 | OT240W/3X24V/120-240V/JBX | 3 x 11* |
*The OT240 has 3 channels at 80W each. Each channel can operate 11 modules for a total of 33 modules per OT240.
Notes:
- These numbers are based on calculated “Maximum Board Wattage” value.
- The listed “Maximum number of modules per power supply” values are only applicable when OPTOTRONIC power supplies are used.
Minimum and Maximum Ratings
| Parameter Operating | Values |
| Temperature at Tc point | -25 to +70°C (-13 to +158°F) |
| Storage Temperature Range | -25 to +85°C (-13 to +185°F) |
| Voltage Range | +23…+25 Vdc |
Notes:
- Exceeding maximum ratings for operating and storage temperature will reduce expected lifetime or destroy the LED module.
- Exceeding maximum ratings for operating voltage will cause hazardous overload and will likely destroy the LED module.
- The temperature of the LED module must be measured at the Tc point according to EN60598-1 in a thermally constant status with a temperature sensor or a temperature sensitive label.
