Vero SE 18C - Gen 8 is Bridgelux’s eighth‑generation 36 V chip‑on‑board (COB) LED array with a 18.5 mm light‑emitting surface on a 36.1 mm round substrate. At the nominal 1050 mA drive current it delivers around 6317 lm (3000 K, 80 CRI) at a typical forward voltage of 33.9 V, corresponding to roughly 35.6 W input power and up to about 178 lm/W efficacy. The 18C variant supports a broad CCT range from 2700 K to 6500 K and 70–97 CRI options. Vero SE incorporates poke‑in wire connectivity for solder‑free installation, Zhaga Book 3 mechanical interfaces, and mounting features for standard holders and optics. The array operates across a wide current range (up to 3× nominal, per datasheet limits) to fit diverse luminaire designs.
