Introduction
Vero represents a revolutionary advancement in chip on board (COB) light source technology and innovation. Vero
LED light sources simplify luminaire design and manufacturing processes, improve light quality, and dene a platform
for future functionality integration.
Vero is available in four dierent light emitting surface (LES) congurations and has been engineered to reliably
operate over a broad current range, enabling new degrees of exibility in luminaire design optimization. Vero arrays
deliver increased lumen density to enable improved beam control and precision lighting with 2 and 3 SDCM color
control standard for clean and consistent uniform lighting.
Vero includes an on board connector port to enable solder free electrical interconnect and simple easy to use mounting
features to enable plug-and-play installation.

Performance at Commonly Used Drive Currents
Vero LED arrays are tested to the specications shown using the nominal drive currents in Table 1. Vero 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 2 and the ux vs. current
characteristics shown in Figure 3. The performance at commonly used drive currents is summarized in Table 3.

Performance Curves
8
The maximum allowable drive current for the Vero 10 family of products is dependent on the operating
case temperature. Please refer to the Product Feature Map (page 2) for the location of the Tc Point.
Figure 1: Vero 10 Drive Current Derating Curve
Notes for Figure 1:
1. In order to meet LM-80 lifetime projections Vero 10 may be driven up to 700mA at case temperatures up to 90°C. Operating conditions above case
temperatures of 90°C driving conditions must follow the Vero 10 Drive Current Derating Curve.
2. 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. Contact your Bridgelux sales representative for LM-80 report.

MINOR PRODUCT CHANGE POLICY
The rigorous qualication testing on products oered
by Bridgelux provides performance assurance. Slight
cosmetic changes that do not aect 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 AN31 for additional information.
CAUTION: EYE SAFETY
Eye safety classication for the use of Bridgelux Vero
LED arrays is in accordance with IEC specication
EN62471: Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp
Systems. Vero LED arrays are classied 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: RISK OF BURN
Do not touch the Vero LED array or yellow resin area
during operation. Allow the array to cool for a sucient
period of time before handling. The Vero 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 Vero LED arrays are available
in both SAT and STEP formats. Please contact your
Bridgelux sales representative for assistance.
18
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 reectors 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.
STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise stated, array testing is performed
at the nominal drive current.
