Bridgelux has announced its eighth generation of its chip-on-board products, delivering up to 185 lm/W from its V, Vero and Vero SE (pictured) Series families at nominal drive current – a 10% efficacy improvement over its previous product generations.This performance is benchmarked at the popular 3000K 80 CRI color point, with efficacies above 200 lm/W possible at other color points across the industry’s broadest range of COB products.In addition to the announcement of new Gen 8 products, Bridgelux continues to expand its portfolio of human centric lighting solutions. New products under development include the new Vesta ThriveTM COB, the industry’s first tunable white natural spectrum light source; expansions in the Vesta Flex dual channel driver and controls family to now include Casambi and Silvair control modules; and the new Vesta SE, the first dim-to-warm and tunable white COBs with integrated holders to simplify and standardize mechanical, optical, and electrical connections.
