Bridgelux Vero Series LED Arrays Now Shipping with Industry Leading Efficacy and Color Uniformity

Bridgelux, a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, announced today that its recently released Vero™ Series of LED Array products are now shipping with industry leading performance efficacy (120 lm/w nominal, 110 lm/w minimum average). This performance enhancement delivers energy savings of approximately 11% over the prior product generation and provides a significantly accelerated return on investment. Further, the Vero Series arrays are now available with 2SDCM MacAdam and 3 SDCM options – raising the industry bar in color control precision and uniformity.    

The featured 120 lm/w efficacy is an average performance across all form factors in the Bridgelux Vero Array Series based on 3000K 80 CRI configurations driven at nominal currents.  With some Vero configurations driven at lower currents, users can readily achieve efficacies up to 140 lm/w. The Vero arrays also deliver industry leading average minimums of 110 lm/w and provide designers with best-in-class design and manufacturability flexibility.

The Vero platform enables plug & play connectivity for lighting manufacturers, enabling leading solid state lighting product performance capabilities while streamlining production processes for lighting manufacturers. These capabilities lead to shorter product development times, lower inventory requirements, reduced costs and more light with less energy.

Beyond saving energy, the Bridgelux Vero Series of LED arrays delivers another industry first by providing customers with a standard option of choosing either 2SDCM or 3SDCM MacAdam color control.  Having more precise color control options improves the quality of light by providing greater consistency and uniformity between adjacent light sources.  This exciting advancement in color control options with the Vero Array Series enables clean and consistent lighting installations with both high quality color rendering and appearance.  The Vero Series also exceeds California Energy Commission R9 requirements for luminaires and lamps.    

Since the launch of the Vero platform only 4 months ago, XAL, Licht + Design, Amerlux, and Dongmyung have joined a rapidly growing list of the world’s most highly recognized global lighting manufacturers to  incorporate Vero LED arrays into products for retail, commercial and other applications.

“The innovative feature set on-board in Vero Series arrays provides us with tremendous flexibility, particularly in designing new products for manufacturability,” said Harald Dirnberger, CEO of XAL in Austria.  “The efficiency and lumens per watt performance that Bridgelux regularly delivers helps keep XAL products competitive in the marketplace and helps drive broader adoption of solid state lighting.”

Vero arrays are compatible with a wide variety of standard drivers (350mA increments) and optical components, providing manufacturers with greater flexibility and a wide range of options, shortening product development times, lowering inventory requirements and reducing costs. Electrical connections can be established with thermally isolated solder pads or by using a solder-less on-board connector port.  The solder free connector port simplifies manufacturing processes, reduces production time/cost, and eliminates the potential for solder failures.

“The Vero arrays have been one of our most successful product offerings in our ten year history,” said Aaron Merrill, Director, Product Line Management of Bridgelux. “Solid state lighting is making huge gains in virtually every segment and geography, but we must continue to find ways to drive down total system costs, while increasing performance. Vero arrays will play an instrumental role in bringing new methodologies and technologies to the solid state lighting market, and provide a platform for  the convergence of technologies required for smart lighting.”
