Innovative LED Array Technology to Displace High Volume Conventional Light Sources

SUNNYVALE, CALIF., January 27, 2009 — Bridgelux, Inc., a leading supplier of energysaving
light-emitting diode (LED) technology, today announced the introduction of a
LED array product line which provides high performance, compact and cost-effective
light sources for solid-state lighting (SSL). The Bridgelux LED Arrays have been
specifically developed to provide lamp and luminaire manufacturers with a solution
that will simplify system level integration, further reducing the system cost. Typical
applications include task, accent, spot, track, down light, wide area and security
lighting. This global market is currently estimated by the Next Generation Lighting
Industry Alliance (NGLIA) to be about $40 billion. Bridgelux estimates the market
potential for LED lamps and luminaires, alone, to be approximately $10 billion per year
by 2012.

The Bridgelux LED Array product suite is designed to deliver comparable performance
to standard incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent and high intensity discharge
(HID) lamps. The LED Arrays range from 400 to 2000 lumens and are offered in warm,
neutral and cool white color temperatures. Additionally, the LED Arrays offer improved
energy efficiency, lower maintenance cost and elimination of hazardous materials,
such as mercury or lead found in traditional lighting technologies—all while delivering
a uniform, high quality light source. Bridgelux’s LED Arrays are RoHS compliant and are
tested and binned to an ANSI/Energy Star compliant binning structure.

“Bridgelux’s innovative packaging technology not only offers a light source that can
be seamlessly integrated into a luminaire, but also delivers increased usable light
through a simplified thermal design,” stated Jason Posselt, Bridgelux director of
marketing. “These products have been designed with the end application in mind,
focusing on delivering both the quantity and quality of light required for general
lighting applications together with an ability to significantly reduce the cost of light.
We believe that the Bridgelux LED Array technology will enable our customers to
optimize their overall system design, greatly reducing their SSL manufacturing costs.”

Bridgelux controls all of the core LED technologies from Epi to packaging—enabling
the Company to deliver the innovative light sources that its customers can easily
integrate into their lamp and luminaire designs, reducing system cost and
accelerating time-to-market. The Bridgelux LED Array product breaks through the cost
barrier dramatically improving the lumen per watt per dollar performance of the light
source.

“This product launch represents a significant milestone achievement in line with the
company’s commitment to deliver high quality, energy efficient lighting solutions,” said
Mark Swoboda, Bridgelux chief executive officer. “Lamps and luminaires that
incorporate LED lighting sources will play an increasingly important role in our effort to
reduce overall carbon footprint by minimizing energy consumption and eliminating
the use of hazardous materials. Bridgelux is a leader in providing next-generation LED
lighting products replacing the traditional bulbs being banned by governments
worldwide.”

Company Continues to Strengthen its IP Portfolio

SUNNYVALE, CALIF., January 15, 200 — Bridgelux, Inc.,
a leading supplier of energy-saving light-emitting diode (LED) technology
for high-volume, solid-state lighting markets, today announced the award
of a U.S. patent for its surface mountable chip (SMC) LED design. This
SMC architecture fundamentally changes how LEDs will be deployed by eliminating
the need for traditional LED packaging. The innovative chip design offers
a high flux density LED with an ultra small footprint and thin profile,
with the ability to closely pack multiple chips together for increased
performance in space limited applications such as camera flash, LCD display
backlighting and general or specialty lighting applications. The design
of this chip also delivers a surface mountable “thin-film” architecture,
providing a flat surface for direct deposition of a phosphor layer on
the LED die.

Since the founding of Bridgelux, the Company has invested in the development
of its IP portfolio relating to MOCVD reactor design, leading-edge epi
technologies, advanced LED chip design, manufacturing processes and innovative
packaging techniques. To accomplish this, Bridgelux has assembled a world-class
team of seasoned technologists, expert in the LED and solid-state lighting
(SSL) industries.

“This new patent award demonstrates Bridgelux’s focus on driving innovation
in core technologies to improve performance and reduce the cost of our
lighting technologies,” noted Bridgelux’s director of R&D, Steve Lester.
“The company is aggressively adding to its intellectual property (IP)
portfolio. Bridgelux, currently, has over 75 patents filed in the U.S.
and over 130 patent applications filed worldwide. Bridgelux’s investments
in MOCVD and chip design enable the Company to continue to innovate and
deliver the right quality and quantity of light for specific SSL applications.”

The Bridgelux SMC LED design will enable manufacturers to bond the chip
directly onto the printed circuit board (PCB), eliminating the need for
an additional substrate or traditional LED package. This is the first
discrete, thin-film device with two bottom contacts and a flat surface
on which a phosphor can be applied. Direct deposition of phosphor film
at either the wafer or package level can achieve a quality of white color
consistency that no other commercially available LED die platform can
currently offer. Bridgelux intends to manufacture LED chips using its
SMC design at the Company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in
Sunnyvale, Calif., or where appropriate, through one of its manufacturing
partners.

With this innovative chip design, non-value add components or manufacturing
processes can be eliminated, gaining the ability to enhance system integration
and reduce the cost of the total lighting solution. This chip will deliver
greater manufacturing flexibility for high flux applications requiring
multiple emitters, enable higher flux density for etandue limited applications,
and allow for individual chip addressability via the board to which multiple
SMCs are attached.

Company Improves Chip Performance Utilizing Traditional, Low-Risk Technology

SUNNYVALE, CALIF., June 4, 2008 — Bridgelux,
Inc., a leading supplier of energy-saving LED technology for high-volume,
solid-state lighting markets, today announced commercial availability
of its new NLX-5 high-power gallium nitride (GaN) LED chip. The
NLX-5, when embedded in a customer’s standard, cool white
LED package, provides a typical light output of 85–90 lumens
(@350 mA). As a result, the NLX-5 delivers the industry’s
leading cost-per-lumen performance for warm white, cool white and
RGB applications today.

In a LED package, the NLX-5 is ideal for general lighting applications,
such as LED street lights, architectural down lights, MR-16 lamps,
as well as mobile phone and digital camera flash applications. As
Bridgelux’s fifth-generation chip, the NLX-5 offers a 15-20
percent performance improvement over its predecessors. The company
continues to improve the performance of its LED chips based on a
low-cost manufacturing technology that has been abandoned by others
in the industry in favor of thin-film LED architectures, which ultimately
are more complex and costly.

“By merging our innovative chip designs with traditional sapphire-based
LED chip architectures, we’ve increased LED performance on
a very robust, high-yield technology platform,” said Bridgelux’s
Director of R&D, Steve Lester. “Many companies have believed
that high-light extraction was only possible with the removal of
the sapphire substrate. Our team has pushed the technology to achieve
higher performance without sapphire removal and its typically negative
impact upon yield and cost. Based on current R&D results, we
project that by later this year, we can provide an additional 10-15
percent improvement—with further anticipated performance improvements
continuing over the next 12 months, utilizing this same high-power
LED technology platform.”

The NLX-5 will provide Bridgelux customers with a low cost-per-lumen
solution to help speed market adoption of solid-state lighting applications
into the general lighting market. The Bridgelux chip technology
is not only lower in cost to manufacture, but is also easier and
more cost-effective for customers to integrate into lighting products,
either as single or multi-chip LED packages.
