Company Overview   About Us Company Overview Products & Technology   Management Team Investors Board of Directors   Career Opportunities   Partner       Founded in late 2002, Bridgelux is privately held and headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale, Calif.) The company was the brainchild of visionaries focused on accelerating the evolution of solid-state lighting (SSL). Specifically, as one of the few industries within the electronics sector to witness explosive growth over the past few years, the LED market holds tremendous opportunities and is growing at rapid-fire pace. LED-based lighting technologies offer myriad advantages over current fluorescent and incandescent solutions, including reliability and light quality, along with superior energy efficiency. As a result, LEDs have quickly captured dominant shares of the mobile appliance backlighting and camera flash markets, and are rapidly appearing in small, mid- and large-area displays. While not yet widely available for consumer lighting needs, the current generation of environment-friendly SSL technologies deliver efficiencies that exceed those of incandescent lighting products, and have recently begun to rival many fluorescent solutions in industrial and commercial applications. In addition, LED lighting solutions do not contain the environmentally damaging substances found in fluorescent bulbs. Bridgelux is committed to tackling this market head-on through its enabling platform of LED solutions. To this end, the company developed its proprietary InGaN (indium gallium nitride) power LED chip and is currently delivering millions of these chips every month to customers worldwide. Customers leverage Bridgelux’s LED chips to replace traditional bulb technologies, with solid-state products that provide a powerful and energy-efficient source of blue, green or white light. Bridgelux chips are currently found in mobile appliances, signage, automotive and various general lighting applications. Not the traditional LED company, Bridgelux has a unique integration strategy, which will allow the company to significantly broaden its customer base, increase overall value and accelerate revenue growth by delivering quality light sources at a low cost per lumen—a strategy the company call its ‘penny-per-lumen’ vision. To this end, the company is committed to making LED technology affordable without sacrificing quality, performance or jeopardizing the environment. © 2008 Bridgelux Inc. All rights reserved.
