As Bridgelux has announced on its website, the company has launched new F90 COBs, providing a combination of market leading efficacy and colour fidelity of over 90, As Bridgelux explained, the F90 COBs are an ideal solution for all commercial and residential downlight applications.
Under Potassium Fluorosilicate (PFS) phosphor technology licensed from Current Lighting Solutions, LLC for use in commercial lighting applications and GE Lighting, a Savant Company for use in residential lighting applications, F90 COBs joins Bridgelux previously launched F90 SMD and F90 Filament product offerings.

F90 COBs are available in a wide range of Light-Emitting Surfaces (LES) from 8mm to 22mm in diameter with efficacy ranging up to 190 lumens/watt. This represents a 20% improvement from the previous generation Gen8 CRI 90 COBS and 5% improvement on Gen8 CRI 80.
The breakthrough performance represents the highest efficacy for COBs on the market. Particularly robust, case temperatures for F90 COBS can be allowed as high as 95â°C for normal drive current (listed in the chart below) and 85â°C for maximum drive currents (2X). Given the in-situ temperatures of typical ICAT-rated recessed ceiling can type products, this makes the F90 COB an ideal engine.
As Bridgelux concluded, the company is very excited to offer F90 COBs in such a wide range of configurations being an ideal tool for designers, product developers or residential users.
