Bridgelux Vero SE 18B – Gen 8 is a 36.1 mm diameter, solder‑free COB LED array with an 18.5 mm light‑emitting surface. The SE platform features poke‑in wire connectivity and no exposed solder pads for simplified assembly. Gen 8 18B devices are specified at 700 mA nominal drive with a typical forward voltage of 33.9 V, yielding about 23.7 W input power and up to 178 lm/W efficacy, depending on CCT and CRI. The 18B variant is available across 2700–6500 K with CRI options from 70 to 97. Mechanical and optical accessories, including holders and lenses, are supported. This is a bare LED array, not a finished luminaire; light distribution and horticultural footprint depend on the fixture design, heatsinking, and optics used.
