Introduction
Vero
TM
represents a revolutionary advancement in chip on board (COB) light source technology
and innovation. These new LED light sources simplify luminaire design and manufacturing
processes, improve light quality, and define a platform for future functionality integration.

Product Nomenclature
The part number designation for Bridgelux Vero LED arrays is explained as follows:
BXRC – AB C DEFG – H – IJ
Where:
BXRC – Designates product family
AB – Designates the nominal color temperature; 27 = 2700K; 30 = 3000K, etc.
C – Designates minimum CRI; C = 70, E = 80, G = 90, H = 95
DEFG – Designates nominal flux; 2000 = 2000 lm, 4000 = 4000 lm, etc.
H – Designates array configuration
IJ – Designates CCT Bin options
02 = 2 SDCM
03 = 3 SDCM
04 = 4 SDCM

Top Side Part Number Markings
Vero includes a top side part number marking to help simplify inventory management and increase
opportunities for production quality control. Any Vero product can be quickly identified to determine the
product configuration, color or CRI by simply looking at its top side markings. Unlike previous product
generations where markings were included only on the back side of the array, no longer is it necessary to
handle (turnover), uninstall the array in an infield application or guess which product it is by the color of
the phosphor area. The Vero line of LED array products also has a 2D bar code which provides
additional information and full product traceability for quality control purposes.
Enhanced Connectivity Options
Vero’s thermally isolated solder pads have been designed to make soldering fast and secure. For those
who prefer an even faster solderless installation, Vero has a connector port that can be used to further
simplify your manufacturing process, reduce inventory cost and allow for field upgradability. The
connector port mates to the Molex Pico-EZmate connector harness, sold separately by Molex and
through their distribution network. The Molex connector harnesses come in a variety of wire lengths and
wire gauge options and can also be custom engineered to meet your specific design requirements.
Please consult your local Molex sales representative or visit www.molex.com for more information.
Lumen Maintenance Characteristics
Bridgelux projects that the Vero 18 family of LED array products will deliver, on average, greater than
70% lumen maintenance after 50,000 hours of operation at two times the rated forward test current. This
performance assumes constant current operation at up to 2 times the nominal test current (2X drive
current as is indicated in Table 4) with case temperature maintained at or below 85°C. For use beyond
these typical operating conditions please consult your Bridgelux sales representative for further
assistance.
These projections are based on a combination of package test data, semiconductor chip reliability data, a
fundamental understanding of package related degradation mechanisms, and performance observed
from products installed in the field using Bridgelux die technology. Bridgelux conducts lumen
maintenance tests per LM-80. Observation of design limits is required in order to achieve this projected
lumen maintenance.
Environmental Compliance
Bridgelux is committed to providing environmentally friendly products to the solid-state lighting market.
Vero LED Arrays comply with the European Union directives on the restriction of hazardous substances
in electronic equipment, namely the RoHS directive. Bridgelux does not intentionally add the following
restricted materials to any LED array products: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
UL Recognition
Bridgelux secures UL Recognition for all of its LED array products. Please refer to the UL file 357031 for
the latest list of UL Recognized Bridgelux LED arrays. The Vero series of LED arrays are currently
undergoing UL testing, and the UL file will be updated as tests are complete to satisfy UL recognition
requirements. Bridgelux uses UL Recognized materials with suitable flammability ratings in the Vero LED
array products to streamline the process for customers to secure UL listing of the final luminaire product.
Bridgelux recommends that luminaires are designed with a Class 2 driver to facilitate the UL listing
process.

CE Recognition
In accordance with the relevant European Union Directives, the BXRC series LED array products conform
to the applicable requirements of the IEC/EN 62031:2008 (LED Modules for General Lighting Safety
Specifications) and IEC 62471:2006 (Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems). The Vero
series of LED arrays are currently undergoing UL and CE testing and are expected to be completed
shortly. Bridgelux maintains a CE Declaration of Conformity statement on its website and displays the CE
mark on product packing labels.
Minor Product Change Policy
The rigorous qualification testing on products offered by Bridgelux provides performance assurance.
Slight cosmetic changes that do not affect form, fit, or function may occur as Bridgelux continues product
optimization.
Case Temperature Measurement Point
A case temperature measurement point location is included on the top surface of the Vero LED arrays.
The location of this measurement point is indicated in the mechanical dimensions section of this data
sheet.
The purpose of this measurement point is to allow the user access to a measurement point correlates to
the true case temperature on the back surface of the LED array. Once the LED array is installed, it is
challenging to measure the back surface of the array, or true case temperature.
For consistent and repeatable temperature measurements can be correlated to the data sheet
performance specifications and to published LM-80 reliability data. The use of case temperature
measurements point is more fully explained in AN30.
CAUTION: CONTACT WITH OPTICAL AREA
Avoid any contact with the optical area. Do not touch the optical area of the Vero LED array or apply
stress to the yellow phosphor resin area. Contact may cause damage to the LED array.
Optics and reflectors must not be mounted in contact with the yellow phosphor resin area. Optical
devices may be mounted on the top surface of the plastic housing of the Vero LED array. Use the
mechanical features of the LED array housing, edges and/or mounting holes to locate and secure optical
devices as needed.
CAUTION: CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HAZARD
Exposure to some chemicals commonly used in luminaire manufacturing and assembly can cause
damage to the LED array. Please consult Bridgelux Application Note AN31 for additional information.
CAUTION: EYE SAFETY
Eye safety classification for the use of Bridgelux Vero LED arrays is in accordance with IEC specification
EN62471:Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems. Vero LED arrays are classified as Risk
Group 1 (Low Risk) when operated at or below the maximum DC forward current (2x the nominal rated
test current as is defined in Table 6 of this data sheet). Please use appropriate precautions. It is
important that employees working with LEDs are trained to use them safely.
CAUTION: RISK OF BURN
Do not touch the Vero LED array or yellow resin area during operation. Allow the array to cool for a
sufficient period of time before handling. The Vero LED array may reach elevated temperatures such that
could burn skin when touched.
