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 family of LED array products will deliver, on average, greater than 70%
lumen maintenance after 50,000 hours of operation at the rated forward test current. This performance
assumes constant current operation at the nominal test current (1X 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. Bridgelux conducts lumen
maintenance tests per LM80. 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).

Cautionary Statements
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: 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.

Page 5 of 24
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.
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.

Bridgelux recommends a maximum duty cycle of 10% 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.
Light emitting diodes are not designed to be driven in reverse voltage.
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. Vero
LED arrays can be driven at higher currents but lumen maintenance may be reduced, however, the
luminaire design may need to design in lower Tc values to meet lumen maintenance capabilities equal to
lower drive current operations.

Bridgelux recommends two tapped holes for mounting screws with 31.4 ± 0.10mm center-to-center spacing.
Screws with flat shoulders (pan, dome, button, round, truss, mushroom) provide optimal torque control. Do NOT
use flat, countersink, or raised head screws.
4. Solder pads and connector port are labeled “+” and “-“ to denote positive and negative, respectively.
5. 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.
6. Drawings are not to scale.
7. Drawing dimensions are in millimeters.
8. Unless otherwise specified, tolerances are ± 0.10mm.
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
