V Series™ HD LED array product, an ultra-high lumen density COB product line, is designed for high intensity spotlights used in commercial and retail settings. V Series HD arrays offer industry leading color over angle uniformity, and replace ceramic metal halide lamps by providing equal or greater center beam candle power at lower power and at greater lifetimes. Their tight beam control and exceptional quality of light is well suited for demanding directional spot applications.

The V3 HD LED array is available in a variety of CCT and CRI combinations providing substantial design flexibility and energy efficiencies.

Lighting system designs incorporating these LED arrays deliver increased system level efficacy and longer service life. Typical applications include, but are not limited to, commercial and residential down lights, accent, spot and track lights.

Bridgelux Décor Series™ is our state of the art color line designed specifically for premium applications, producing unmatched LED light quality with brilliant color-rendering options and offer pleasing and inspiring lighting palettes. Bridgelux Décor Series color points are available on Vero® SE Series, Vero® Series, V Series™ and V Series™ HD.

Décor Series™ Ultra products provide a high CRI of 97 and a minimum R9 value of 91, which emphasizes the reds and color tones to which the human eye is most receptive - perfect for the most luxurious retail shops and world renowned museums. Décor Series Ultra is designed as a replacement for halogen.

The European Product Registry for Energy Labeling (EPREL) is defined in the EU Regulation 2017/1369 to provide import­

ant energy efficiency information to consumers. Together with Energy Labeling Regulation ELR (EU) 2019/2015 which was

amended by regulation (EU) 2021/340 for energy labelling of light sources, manufacturers are required to declare an ener­ gy class based on key technical specifications from each of their product and register it in an open data base managed by EPREL It is now a legal requirement for a vendor of light sources to upload information about their products into the EPREL

database before placing these products on the market in the EU.

Table 3 below provides a list of part numbers that are in compliance with ELR and are currently listed in the EPREL data­

base.

At Bridgelux, we are fully committed to supplying products that are compliant with pertinent laws, rules, and obligation

imposed by relevant government bodies including the European Energy Labeling regulation. Customers can use these

products with full confidence for any projects that fall under the ELR.

V Series HD LED arrays are tested to the specifications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. V Series HD LED arrays may also be driven at other drive currents dependent on specific application design requirements. The performance at any drive current can be derived from the current vs. voltage characteristics shown in Figures 1 & 2 and the flux vs. cur­ rent characteristics shown in Figures 3 & 4. The performance at commonly used drive currents is summarized in Table 4.
