Livermore, Calif., December 6, 2011 – Bridgelux Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, today announced commercial availability of its latest generation of industry-leading LS, ES, and award-winning RS product families, delivering an increase in efficacy of up to 30% and a reduction of up to 30% in cost per lumen compared to previous product generations. Featuring the largest portfolio of LED arrays in the lighting industry, Bridgelux offers products for lighting applications ranging from the light output equivalent of a 20-Watt decorative lamp to that of a 300-Watt high intensity discharge (HID) city streetlight.
Bridgelux’s latest generation of LED arrays offer optical and mechanical compatibility with previous product generations, allowing customers to easily incorporate all performance enhancements with a simple upgrade path, minimizing design efforts.
Further, these new arrays offer greater system design flexibility to achieve Energy Star, Title 24, Part L and other global energy efficiency standards. All Bridgelux arrays are configured to align with industry standard drive currents to simplify the electronic driver selection process for new lamp and luminaire product development, enabling accelerated time to market.
“Bridgelux’s commitment to rapid technology innovation while maintaining the product design characteristics of their LED arrays dramatically reduces our development risk, and ensures an easy design-in process,” said Jeff Spencer, director of product management – commercial for Juno Lighting Group by Schneider Electric. “We are very excited to be using their latest generation of arrays in the new Indy Performance Series LED downlights that we are launching later this month. As LED technology continues to rapidly evolve, Bridgelux has been a terrific strategic partner because they understand that by providing platform stability with the LED array products we can easily adopt the latest technology improvements and rapidly pass these innovations on to our customers without significant product redesigns.”
Bridgelux arrays are available in a broad range of color temperatures ranging from 2700K to 5600K with 3 SDCM color control options to enable clean and consistent lighting installations. Multiple color rendering index (CRI) options are available, providing increased design flexibility for lamp and luminaire manufacturers.
