Vero
Introduction
Vero represents a revolutionary advancement in chip on board (COB) light source technology and innovation. Vero
LED light sources simplify luminaire design and manufacturing processes, improve light quality, and define a platform
for future functionality integration.
Vero is available in four different light emitting surface (LES) configurations and has been engineered to reliably
operate over a broad current range, enabling new degrees of flexibility in luminaire design optimization. Vero arrays
deliver increased lumen density to enable improved beam control and precision lighting with 2 and 3 SDCM color
control standard for clean and consistent uniform lighting.
Vero includes an on board connector port to enable solder free electrical interconnect and simple easy to use mounting
features to enable plug-and-play installation.

Notes for Tables 1 & 2:
1. Nominal CCT as defined by ANSI C78.377-2011.
2. CRI Values are minimums. Minimum R9 value for 80 CRI products is 0, the minimum R9 values for 90 CRI products is 50.
3. Drive current is referred to as nominal drive current.
4. Products tested under pulsed condition (10ms pulse width) at nominal test current where Tj (junction temperature) = Tc (case temperature) = 25°C.
5. Typical performance values are provided as a reference only and are not a guarantee of performance.
6. Bridgelux maintains a ±7% tolerance on flux measurements.
7. Minimum flux values at the nominal test current are guaranteed by 100% test.
8. Typical stabilized DC performance values are provided as reference only and are not a guarantee of performance.
9. Typical performance is estimated based on operation under DC (direct current) with LED array mounted onto a heat sink with thermal interface
material and the case temperature maintained at 85°C. Based on Bridgelux test setup, values may vary depending on the thermal design of the
luminaire and/or the exposed environment to which the product is subjected.
10. Minimum flux values at elevated temperatures are provided for reference only and are not guaranteed by 100% production testing. Based
on Bridgelux test setup, values may vary depending on the thermal design of the luminaire and/or the exposed environment to which the
product is subjected.

Performance at Commonly Used Drive Currents
Vero LED arrays are tested to the specifications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. Vero 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 Figure 2 and the flux vs. current
characteristics shown in Figure 3. The performance at commonly used drive currents is summarized in Table 3.

3. Please refer to Figure 1 for drive current derating curve.
4. Bridgelux recommends a maximum duty cycle of 10% and pulse width of 20ms when operating LED Arrays at the maximum peak pulsed
current specified. Maximum peak pulsed currents indicate values where the LED array can be driven without catastrophic failures.
5. Light emitting diodes are not designed to be driven in reverse voltage and will not produce light under this condition. Maximum rating
provided for reference only.

Performance Curves
The maximum allowable drive current for the Vero 10 family of products is dependent on the operating
case temperature. Please refer to the Product Feature Map (page 2) for the location of the Tc Point.
Figure 1: Vero 10 Drive Current Derating Curve
Notes for Figure 1:
1. In order to meet LM-80 lifetime projections Vero 10 may be driven up to 700mA at case temperatures up to 90°C. Operating conditions above case
temperatures of 90°C driving conditions must follow the Vero 10 Drive Current Derating Curve.
2. Lumen maintenance (L70) and lifetime predictions are valid for drive current and case temperature conditions used for LM-80 testing as included in
the applicable LM-80 test report for these products. Contact your Bridgelux sales representative for LM-80 report.

Mechanical Dimensions
Figure 10: Drawing for Vero 10 LED Array
Notes for Figure 10:
1. Drawings are not to scale.
2. Dimensions are in mm.
3. Unless otherwise specified, tolerances are ± 0.10mm.
4. Mounting slots (2X) are for M2.5 screws.
5. Bridgelux recommends two tapped holes for mounting screws with 19.0 ± 0.10mm center-to-center spacing.
6. Screws with flat shoulders (pan, dome, button, round, truss, mushroom) provide optimal torque control. Do NOT use flat, countersink, or raised
head screws.
7. Solder pads and connector port are labeled “+” and “-“ to denote positive and negative, respectively.
8. It is not necessary to provide electrical connections to both the solder pads and the connector port. Either set may be used depending on application specific design requirements.
9. Refer to Application Notes AN30 and AN31 for product handling, mounting and heat sink recommendations.
10. The optical center of the LED Array is nominally defined by the mechanical center of the array to a tolerance of ± 0.2mm.
11. Bridgelux maintains a flatness of 0.10mm across the mounting surface of the array.

Figure 15: Product Labeling
Bridgelux COB arrays have laser markings on the back side of the substrate to help with product identification. In
addition to the product identification markings, Bridgelux COB arrays also contain markings for internal Bridgelux
manufacturing use only. The image below shows which markings are for customer use and which ones are for
Bridgelux internal use only. The Bridgelux internal manufacturing markings are subject to change without notice,
however these will not impact the form, function or performance of the COB array.

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: 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
drive current. Please use appropriate precautions. It
is important that employees working with LEDs are
trained to use them safely.
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.
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.
Disclaimers
MINOR PRODUCT CHANGE POLICY
STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS
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.
Unless otherwise stated, array testing is performed
at the nominal drive current.
