Vero® Thrive
Introduction
Bridgelux Thrive™ combines unique chip, phosphor and packaging technology to closely match the spectra of natural
light over the visible wavelength range. Thrive can be used in constant color point luminaires to bring full spectrum
natural light indoors or in tunable white luminaires to incorporate circadian elements that may impact human well-being.
The high fidelity spectral output of Thrive creates stunning environments with excellent color rendering and outstanding
TM30 metrics. Thrive is available in both SMD components and LED arrays to enable a broad range of lighting
applications including retail, hospitality, office, education, architectural, museums, healthcare and residential lighting.

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

Spectral Matching to Natural Light
The lighting market is in the early stages of adoption of human-centric lighting (HCL). HCL encompasses the effects of lighting on the physical and emotional
health and well-being of people. Throughout evolution, the human visual system has evolved under the natural light of sun and fire. These light sources have
standardized industry spectral power definitions that describe the state of natural light. However, conventional metrics such as CCT, CRI, and TM-30 fail to
adequately quantify the naturalness, or closeness of these light sources to the standardized natural spectra. Due to a lack of an industry standard metric to
quantitatively measure the naturalness of a light source, Bridgelux has pioneered a new metric that takes the guesswork out of comparing LED light sources
to natural light.
Average Spectral Difference, or ASD, is calculated by measuring the absolute difference between two spectra at discrete wavelengths. These values are averaged across a wavelength range derived from the photopic response curve, or V(λ); a luminous efficiency function describing the average spectral sensitivity
of human perception of brightness. The range of 425nm to 690nm was selected to remove the tails of the V(λ) gaussian distribution below 1% of the peak value
at 555nm, covering 99.9% of the area under the photopic response curve. Natural light is defined following the approach of IES TM-30; black body curves for
light sources of ≤4000K and the CIE standard illuminant D for light sources of ≥ 5000K.
Natural light has an ASD of 0%; lower ASD values indicate a closer match to natural light. Thrive is engineered to provide the closest match to natural light
available using proprietary chip, phosphor and packaging technology, resulting in an ASD between 8% to 10% for all CCTs. By comparison, standard 80, 90,
and 98 CRI light sources have ASD values that are 100% to 300% larger than Thrive. To learn more about the ASD metric, please contact your Bridgelux sales
representative.

Precautions
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: RISK OF BURN
Do not touch the Vero LED array 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.
CAUTION
CONTACT WITH LIGHT EMITTING SURFACE (LES)
Avoid any contact with the LES. Do not touch the
LES of the LED array or apply stress to the LES
(yellow phosphor resin area). Contact may cause
damage to the LED array.
Optics and reflectors must not be mounted in contact
with the LES (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.
