Bridgelux launches Thrive white point options for full-spectrum, human-centric LEDs

Bridgelux Inc of Fremont, CA, USA (a vertically integrated manufacturer of solid-state light sources for lighting applications) has announced Thrive, a family of white point options for surface-mount devices (SMD), V Series, Vero Series and Vesta Series chip-on-board (COB) products designed to closely mimic the sun and provide a new class of full-spectrum, human-centric light-emitting diode (LED) white point solutions.

Using proprietary chip, phosphor and manufacturing technologies, Thrive closely mimics the spectrum of the sun without violet light augmentation. It produces lower blue light intensity at shorter wavelengths and delivers a smoother spectrum over the visual wavelength range, enabling a close spectral match to sunlight. Thrive offers:

full-spectrum 95 CRI (color rendering iindex) light quality with similar efficacy compared to 90-CRI light sources;
excellent CRI and TM30 metrics with R1 to R15 greater than 92, Rf 96-98 and Rg 99-102;
lower circadian action factor (CAF) and melanopic ratios (MR) in warm-white color points, and higher CAF and MR values in neutral and cool-white color points, which are optimized for human well-being; and
2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, 6500K CCT options.

“Thrive white points may be effective in a variety of applications including hospitals, residential, offices, education, and museums,” says Dr Brian Cumpston, VP of solutions. “So many of us spend a large portion of our time indoors without the benefit of natural light. Thrive improves our indoor experiences under artificial lighting with its vivid color rendering and close match to the natural light provided by the sun,” he adds. “With the ongoing awareness and interest in human-centric lighting solutions, we believe Thrive will assist lighting manufacturers to incorporate circadian features into their products as the lighting market continues to evolve.”

Thrive white points are now available for sampling on SMD 2835 1W 9V and V Series 10C LEDs. Additional Thrive SMD and COB product options will be available for sampling in second-quarter 2019.
