Amerlux and Bridgelux Enable New Street Lighting Solutions

Livermore, Calif., February 8, 2012 –Tulsa, Oklahoma, known for most of the 20^th Century as the Oil Capital of the World, is now leading the way with new energy efficient alternatives. Thanks to a highly successful collaboration between the City of Tulsa, U.S.-based luminaire manufacturer, Amerlux, and U.S.-based lightsource manufacturer, Bridgelux, modern, energy-efficient LED lighting are part of the restoration of Tulsa’s historic Brady district.  About 200 Amerlux outdoor luminaires based on Bridgelux LED arrays are planned to illuminate the walkways around the new Driller Stadium and park. Sixty-four were installed in 2011 with the remaining street lights slated for installation this year. The new LED lighting is anticipated, in the long, run to save the City of Tulsa thousands of dollars in reduced energy and maintenance costs, compared to the conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) streetlights used in other areas of the city.

“The collaboration between the City and its lighting manufacturer and supplier delivered a flexible, energy- and cost-efficient solution that significantly improved the quality and longevity of Tulsa’s outdoor lighting,” said Paul Strizek, planning and contracts manager for the City of Tulsa. “Together we delivered on the City’s commitment to reduce our energy use, increase sustainability and offer our citizens a better quality of light.”

Featuring industry-leading Bridgelux ES LED arrays, the Amerlux D142 and D154 Series decorative downlight allows for a variety of optical configurations, enabling the systems to be optimized for a customer’s unique needs such as application requirements and light output. This helps to ensure that light levels and light quality meet the application requirements for a particular environment. Moreover, the Amerlux D142 and D154 downlights deliver large lumen packages of up to 7600 and 5000 lumens respectively, making it an ideal replacement for HID luminaires.

LED street lighting is an optimal solution for municipalities across the country, delivering immediate savings from lower energy costs and reduced maintenance costs. Further, high quality LED lighting increases the visibility and visual attraction of storefronts, restaurants and other hospitality and commercial environments, as demonstrated in the white paper published by LED Roadway Lighting¹.

NEW BRIDGELUX MICRO SM4 LED COMPONENT TO ADDRESS THE $1 BILLION 20-40 WATT REPLACEMENT LAMP MARKET

Livermore, Calif., October 18, 2011 – Bridgelux Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, today announced an expansion of its broad portfolio of solid-state light sources to address the requirements of the $1 billion 20-40W lamp replacement market with the introduction of the Bridgelux Micro SM4.  Leveraging Bridgelux’s award-winning array technology into a surface mountable LED component, the Micro SM4 delivers high flux density in a smaller footprint, making it ideal for applications where discrete LEDs are preferred.

The Bridgelux Micro SM4 dramatically reduces the component count, cost, complexity and size of the lighting system, enabling a cost-effective, high performance LED solution for diffuse and directional lighting, such as 20-40 watt incandescent, 20-35 watt halogen, B10-style (candelabra), and low wattage compact fluorescent lamp replacements.

Using only 4.6 watts of power, the Bridgelux Micro SM4 will deliver between 330 and 520 lumens in both warm white (2700K and 3000K) and cool white (5600K) color temperatures. Minimum 80 and 90 CRI options, with 3-step MacAdams Elipse color selections, will be offered for warm white products.  Production shipments of the Micro SM4 will be available in the first quarter of 2012.

“The Bridgelux Micro SM4 delivers comparable efficacy and performance to some of our smaller form factor arrays in the size of a miniaturized discrete component,” said Jason Posselt, vice president of marketing at Bridgelux. “The ability to use high volume surface mount assembly methods will open up new design integration options and help our customers to improve both cost-to-market and time-to-market.”

The new Micro SM4 features the latest technical advancements in epitaxial GaN layer growth, LED chip design and packaging technologies.  These products are configured to align with industry standard drive currents to simplify the electronic driver selection process for new lamp and luminaire product development, and are offered in both 6V and 12V design configurations to enable driver design flexibility.  As with all Bridgelux light sources, the Micro SM4 is offered with a five year warranty.
