V Series
Introduction
The V Series LED Array products deliver high quality light in a compact and cost-effective solid-state lighting package.
These Chip-on-Board (CoB) arrays can be efficiently driven at twice the nominal drive current, enabling design flexibility
not previously possible. This high flux density light source is designed to support a wide range of high quality, low cost
directional luminaires and replacement lamps for commercial and residential applications.
The V15 LED Array is available in a variety of electrical, CCT and CRI combinations providing substantial design flexibility
and energy efficiencies.
Lighting system designs incorporating these LED Arrays deliver comparable performance to 35 Watt ceramic metal
halide based luminaires, delivering increased system level efficacy and longer service life. Typical applications include,
but are not limited to, replacement lamps, task, accent, spot, track, down light, wide area, security, and wall pack.

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
V Series LED arrays are tested to the specifications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. V Series 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 1 and the flux vs. current characteristics shown in Figure 2. The performance at commonly used drive currents is summarized in Table 3.

3. DC Forward Current for LM-80 is the maximum drive current for which LM-80 data is currently available.
4. 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 arrays. Contact your Bridgelux sales representatives for LM-80 report.
5. Arrays may be driven at higher currents however lumen maintenance may be reduced.
6. Bridgelux recommends a maximum duty cycle of 10% and pulse width of 20 ms when operating LED Arrays at maximum peak pulsed current
specified. Maximum peak pulsed currents indicate values where LED Arrays can be driven without catastrophic failures.
7. Light emitting diodes are not designed to be driven in reverse voltage and will not produce light under this condition. Maximum rating provided

Notes for Figure 9:
1. Solder pads are labeled “+” and “-“ to denote positive and negative polarity, respectively.
2
It is not necessary to provide electrical connections to both sets of solder pads. Either set may be used depending on application specific
design requirements.
3. Drawings are not to scale.
4. Drawing dimensions are in millimeters.
5. Unless otherwise specified, tolerances are ± 0.10mm.
6. The optical center of the LED Array is nominally defined by the mechanical center of the array. The light emitting surface (LES) is centered
on the mechanical center of the array to a tolerance of ± 0.45 mm
7. Bridgelux maintains a flatness of 0.1 mm across the mounting surface of the array. Refer to Application Notes AN40 and AN41 for product
handling, mounting and heat sink recommendations.

luminaire manufacturing and assembly can cause
damage to the LED array. Please consult Bridgelux
Application Note AN41 for additional information.
CAUTION: EYE SAFETY
Eye safety classification for the use of Bridgelux
V Series LED arrays is in accordance with IEC
specification EN62471: Photobiological Safety of Lamps
and Lamp Systems. V Series 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 V Series 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 V Series LED array or yellow resin area
during operation. Allow the array to cool for a sufficient
period of time before handling. The V Series LED array
may reach elevated temperatures such that could burn
skin when touched.
