Bridgelux announced a new family of LED, Thrive, designed to closely mimic the sun and provide a new class of full spectrum, human centric light.

The Thrive family of white point options for surface mount devices (SMD), V Series™, Vero® Series and Vesta® Series chip-on-board (COB) products uses proprietary chip, phosphor and manufacturing technologies to imitate the spectra of the sun without violet light augmentation.

In addition, the products lower blue light intensity at shorter wavelengths and deliver a smoother spectrum over the visual wavelength range, enabling a close spectral match to sunlight.

According to Bridgelux, Thrive is featured with a full spectrum 95 color rendering index (CRI) light quality while offers 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.

The product comes with options in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, and 6500K.

“We believe Thrive white points may be effective in a variety of applications including hospitals, residential, offices, education, and museums. 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,” said Dr. Brian Cumpston, Vice President of Solutions at Bridgelux. “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.”
