It’s reported that Octa Light, which is a privately-held company owned by major investors Monbat PLC (50.5% shareholding) and Octagon International (49.5%), held an official opening ceremony for the first high-power LED assembly line in Bulgaria in mid February.

The new facility includes a 4000 sq.m build area, laboratories, clean rooms and lighting-fixture manufacturing areas. It also launched its first packaged LED named Bullstar.

The first Bullstar LEDs offer full color-binning according to the ANSI standard, including cool white (6500K, 5700 K), neutral white (5000K, 4000K) and warm white (3500K, 3000K, and 2700K), as well as other colors.

According to the company, the Bullstar series offers a typical emission of 110 lm for cool white, 100 lm for neutral white and 90 lm for warm white. Also, the silicone lens has a half emission angle of 110 degrees, permitting direct insertion in area-lighting luminaires without the need for additional secondary optics. This boosts luminous flux efficiency and lowers the final product costs.

The company will publish its brand catalogue for luminaires for general lighting by the middle of the year, mainly targeting to the European market.
