Bridgelux® H9 Array
Product Data Sheet DS81
|||
Introduction
H SeriesTM, an ultra-high lumen density COB product line, is designed for high intensity spotlights used in commercial
and retail settings. H series arrays oer industry leading color over angle uniformity, and replace ceramic metal halide
lamps by providing equal or greater center beam candle power at lower power and at greater lifetimes. Their tight beam
control and exceptional quality of light is well suited for demanding directional spot applications.
H Series LEDs are available in a variety of CCT and CRI combinations, including Décor Series Class A, a revolutionary
advancement in lighting designed to match how humans perceive and prefer light, and Décor Series Ultra. Décor Series
Ultra oers a high CRI of 97 and emphasizes reds and color tones to which the human eye is most receptive. Typical
applications for H Series LEDs include but are not limited to commercial and residential down lights, accent, spot & track
lights.

Notes for Tables 1 & 2:
1. Nominal CCT as dened by ANSI C78.377-2011.
2. CRI values are typical for Décor Series Ultra and Class A color points and minimums for all other color points. Minimum R9 value for 80 CRI products is
0, minimum R9 value for 90 CRI products is 50.
3. Products tested under pulsed condition (10 ms pulse width) at nominal test current where Tj (junction temperature) = Tc (case temperature) = 25° C.
4. Typical performance values are provided as reference only and are not a guarantee of performance.
5. Bridgelux maintains a ± 7% tolerance on ux measurements.
6. Minimum ux values at the nominal test current are guaranteed by 100% production testing.
7. Typical ecacy is a function of lumen output. See example in Figure. 1.
8. Class A products are a revolutionary advancement in lighting designed to match how humans perceive and prefer light. Nominal CCT is dened by the
Lighting Research Center’s Class A denition. The center of the Class A color bin is on the corresponding isothermal line.
9. Typical stabilized DC performance values are provided as reference only and are not a guarantee of performance.
10. 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. Values may vary depending on the thermal design of the luminaire and/or the exposed environ-
ment to which the product is subjected.
11. Minimum ux values at elevated temperatures are provided for reference only and are not guaranteed by 100% production testing. 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
H Series LED arrays are tested to the specications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. H Series arrays
may also be driven at other drive currents depending on specic application design requirements. The performance at
any drive current can be derived from the ecacy vs. ux characteristics in Figure 1, the current vs. voltage character-
istics shown in Figure 2 and the ux vs. current characteristics shown in Figure 3. The performance at commonly used
drive currents is summarized in Table 3.

2. Two tubes are sealed in an anti-static bag. Five such bags are placed in a box and shipped. Depending on quantities ordered, a bigger shipping box,
containing four boxes will be used.
3. Each bag and box is to be labeled as shown above.
4. Dimensions for each tube are 18.4 (W) x 9.5(H) x 509 (L) mm. Dimensions for the anti-static bag are75 (W) x 615 (L) x 3.1 (T) mm and that of a shipping box
are 58.7 x 13.3 x 7.9 cm.
Figure 12: Product Labeling
Bridgelux COB arrays have laser markings on the back side of the substrate to help with product identication. In
addition to the product identication 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.

MINOR PRODUCT CHANGE POLICY
The rigorous qualication testing on products oered
by Bridgelux provides performance assurance. Slight
cosmetic changes that do not aect form, t, or function
may occur as Bridgelux continues product optimization.
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 AN81 for additional information.
CAUTION: EYE SAFETY
Eye safety classication for the use of Bridgelux
H Series LED arrays is in accordance with IEC
specication TR 62778: Photobiological Safety of Lamps
and Lamp Systems. H Series LED arrays are classied
as Risk Group 2 (Moderate Risk) when operated at or
below the maximum drive current. The Ethr value is 1187
lux per IEC/TR 62778. 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 H Series LED array during operation. Al-
low the array to cool for a sucient period of time before
handling. The H Series LED array may reach elevated
temperatures such that could burn skin when touched.
3D CAD Models
Three dimensional CAD models depicting the product
outline of all Bridgelux H Series LED arrays are available
in both IGES and STEP formats. Visit www.bridgelux.com
for details.
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 reectors must not be mounted in contact
with the LES (yellow phosphor resin area). Use the LED
array edges to locate and secure optical devices as
needed but do not apply large bending forces on the
edges of the array.
STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise stated, array testing is performed
at the nominal drive current.
