• Linear modules including new 1120 mm length and single row SMD options
• White point tuning options of 2700-6500 K and 2700-5000 K
• Typical ASD values of 11% for 2700 K and 8% for 6500 K
• Typical CRI Ra values of 98 with CRI R1-R15 values all >90
• Typical TM-30 Rf of 96 and Rg of 99

As part of the transition to human centric lighting, there is increasing demand for "natural" light sources. The evolution of the human species has conditioned us to thrive in daylight hours by the light of the sun, and after dusk, in the warm glow of fire. Vesta Thrive enables the development of luminaires that not only deliver natural full spectrum lighting, but also allow new opportunities to personalize lighting, tailoring our environment to individual preferences or task-oriented needs.

As announced last month, Bridgelux has developed a new metric to quantify the naturalness of light. Average Spectral Difference (ASD) averages the differences of the spectral peaks and valleys between a light source and a standardized natural light source of the same CCT. With extremely high CRI and TM-30 metrics and extremely low ASD values, Vesta Thrive is the closest match to natural light available in the market.

Bridgelux is continuing to expand its portfolio of human centric lighting solutions with additional Thrive COB and linear modules including V SeriesTM V8, V Series HD V4 and V6, and EB SeriesTM linear modules. Samples of these Thrive products are available now.

"Despite the global pandemic challenges, this remains an interesting and exciting time for lighting innovation," said Tim Lester, CEO of Bridgelux. "Bridgelux is a committed technology partner, ready to help our customers navigate the transition to human centric lighting. The combination of our Thrive and Vesta Series products constitutes a unique solution tailored for natural, human centric lighting. A total solution, also incorporating our Vesta Flex driver and controls products, enables rapid integration of this exciting new technology, accelerating the development of differentiated market leading products."

Sunlight, UVB and Vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting Beyond Melanopic Stimulation

by Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.

Light in the Service of Health – Bringing the Science of Light and Health into Everyday Life through Evidence-based Communication

Light does far more than let us see. In this episode of the LED professional podcast, Manuel Spitschan and Laura Kervezee, co-chairs of the Light for Public Health Initiative, explain how light acts as the master regulator of the body’s internal clock: it synchronises our physiology with the day outside, shapes mood and alertness, and times the release of melatonin, the hormone that governs sleep. The science is settled enough to act on, so the initiative has distilled it into 26 consensus statements on how light affects the body and well-being, written as practical, evidence-based guidance for individuals, employers, schools and cities. A compact 14-minute briefing on why good light is a public-health question, and what to do about it. Based on the authors’ article in LED professional Review #112.

deLIGHTed Talks #8: Good Light – Good Sleep

Full recording of deLIGHTed Talks #8, held online by LpS DIGITAL on 24 April 2025 (91 minutes). Dr. Renske Lok (Stanford University) shows that bright light during the day deepens nighttime sleep, reduces nighttime awakenings, improves sleep efficiency and lowers next-day sleep inertia. Dr. Jeffrey Hubbard (University of Lausanne / EPFL) compares how light and darkness drive sleep and wakefulness in nocturnal mice and day-active Sudanian grass rats. Chronobiologist Dr. Virginie Gabel, founder of Clock&Me, moderates the session and the discussion on what the findings mean for lighting design.
