Bridgelux Vero SE 18D – Gen 8 is an 18.5 mm LES chip‑on‑board LED array in the Vero SE family with solder‑free poke‑in connectivity. The 18D electrical option is specified at a typical 850 mA drive current and 28.2 V forward voltage, for roughly 24 W typical input power. It supports a broad CCT range (2700–6500 K) with CRI options from 70 to 97, and mounts on a 36.1 mm diameter substrate. The array has a typical 120° viewing angle and is part of Bridgelux’s Gen 8 update, which improves efficacy and maintains industry‑standard 36 V compatibility across form factors. This is a bare light source rather than a complete grow fixture; practical coverage and output depend on chosen optics, thermal management and the selected drive current.
