Introduction
The V Series LED Array products deliver high quality light in a compact and cost-eective solid-state lighting package.
These Chip-on-Board (CoB) arrays can be eciently driven at twice the nominal drive current, enabling design exibility
not previously possible. This high ux 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 exibility
and energy eciencies.
Lighting system designs incorporating these LED Arrays deliver comparable performance to 35 Watt ceramic metal
halide based luminaires, delivering increased system level ecacy 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.

7. Minimum ux 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.

Performance at Commonly Used Drive Currents
V Series LED arrays are tested to the specications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. V Series may
also be driven at other drive currents dependent on specic application design requirements. The performance at any
drive current can be derived from the current vs. voltage characteristics shown in Figure 1 and the ux vs. current char-
acteristics shown in Figure 2. The performance at commonly used drive currents is summarized in Table 3.

2. Refer to Bridgelux Application Note AN41: Assembly Considerations for Bridgelux V Series LED Arrays.
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
specied. Maximum peak pulsed currents indicate values where LED Arrays can be driven without catastrophic failures.

Figure 14: Product Labeling
Bridgelux COB arrays have laser markings on the back side of the substrate to help with product identication. In
addition to the product identication 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.
