Bridgelux Inc., a global developer of LED lighting technology and solutions, announced today the commercialization of its next-generation LS, ES, and RS product families, which offer up to 30% improved efficiency and a 30% reduction in cost per lumen compared to the previous generation. With the most extensive LED array portfolio in the lighting industry, Bridgelux supplies a wide range of lighting applications, from 20W decorative lighting to 300W urban HID (high intensity discharge) street lighting.

The latest LED arrays announced by Bridgelux provide optical and mechanical compatibility with previous generations, enabling customers to easily apply improved performance through a simple upgrade path and minimizing design effort. Furthermore, these new arrays offer excellent design flexibility, allowing them to meet Energy Star, Title 24, Part L, and other global energy efficiency standards. All Bridgelux arrays are supplied tuned and configured to industry-standard driving currents to simplify the electronic driver selection process, thereby accelerating the development and time-to-market of new lamp and lighting products.

Jeff Spencer, Product Management Director at Schneider Electric’s Juno Lighting Group, said, “Bridgelux’s efforts to rapidly innovate technology while maintaining the design characteristics of LED arrays significantly reduce development risks and ensure an easy design process. We are very pleased to be able to use Bridgelux’s latest arrays in the new Indy Performance Series LEDs, which are scheduled to launch at the end of this month.” “With LED technology continuously and rapidly evolving, Bridgelux is an excellent strategic partner. Bridgelux understands that by providing platform stability along with LED array products, we can easily apply the benefits of the latest technology and quickly deliver these innovations to our customers without the hassle of product redesign,” he said.

Bridgelux arrays support clear and consistent lighting installations by providing a wide color temperature range of 2,700K to 5,600K, along with 3SDCM color control options. Multiple Color Rendering Index (CRI) options are also available to support enhanced design flexibility for lamp and lighting manufacturers.
