Introduction
Bridgelux Décor Series™ Class A products are a revolutionary advancement in lighting designed to match how humans
®
perceive and prefer light. The Class A specification was created by the Lighting Research Center (LRC) behavior studies
in conjunction with Bridgelux and other ASSIST members. Based on human factor response testing, the Décor Series
Class A products provide vibrant, natural and brilliant looking light, evoking an emotional attraction and response.
The Décor Series Class A products were developed for high-end retail, museum, architectural, premium building and
hospitality applications.
Bridgelux Décor Series Class A products are available on the Vero 13 and 18 platforms. The Vero platform has been
engineered with advanced connectivity options and can operate over a broad current range, enabling multiple degrees
of flexibility in luminaire design optimization.

Notes for Tables 1 & 2:
1. Drive current is referred to as nominal drive current.
2. Bridgelux maintains a ± 7% tolerance on flux measurements.
3. Typical stabilized DC performance values are provided as reference only and are not a guarantee of performance.
4. Typical performance is estimated based on operation under DC (direct current) with the LED array mounted to 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.

2. Bridgelux maintains a tester tolerance of ± 0.10 V on forward voltage measurements.
3. Forward voltage minimum and maximum values at the nominal drive current (indicated in bold font) are guaranteed by 100% test. Values
provided at other drive currents are provided for reference only and are not guaranteed by test.
4. Vf min hot and Vf max cold values are provided as reference only and are not guaranteed by test. These values are provided to aid in driver
design and selection over the operating range of the product.
5. Thermal resistance values are based on testing data from a 3000K 80 CRI product.

Notes for Table 4:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Notes for Figure 8-9:
1. Mounting holes (2X) are for M2.5 screws.
2. Bridgelux recommends two tapped holes for mounting screws with 31.4 ± 0.10mm center-to-center spacing.
3. 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 ± 0.2mm.
11. Bridgelux maintains a flatness of 0.10mm across the mounting surface of the 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 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.
Disclaimers
MINOR PRODUCT CHANGE POLICY
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.
