A Compact Light Engine Combines COB, Driver, and Bluetooth Control for Tunable White and Dynamic Color Lighting

Fremont, California – March 1, 2026 – Bridgelux, a leading innovator in LED lighting technologies, today announced the launch of its new DriveLux™ Bluetooth-controlled light engines. Developed in partnership with Casambi, a pioneer in wireless lighting control solutions, the DX3-C (triple CCT) and DX4-C (RGBW) models integrate advanced Chip-on-Board (COB) arrays—built with multicolor CSP LEDs—with an onboard driver and seamless Casambi Bluetooth connectivity. This delivers a compact, all-in-one solution (50mm diameter × 10mm height) for tunable white and vibrant color applications.

The DriveLux DX3-C-L13 triple CCT model enables smooth color temperature tuning from 1800K to 6500K along the Black Body Locus (BBL), maintaining tight color consistency within 2 MacAdam ellipse steps of ANSI CIE specifications. Operating at approximately 23W (13mm LES) with CRI 90, it delivers high lumen outputs of ~2400 lumens at 2700K and ~2600 lumens at 4000K. This makes it ideal for human-centric lighting in hospitality, retail, and residential settings requiring precise, high-quality white light adjustment.

The DriveLux DX4-C-L13 RGBW model extends versatility with tunable white from 1800K to 6500K along the BBL (within 3 MacAdam ellipse steps) plus full RGB color mixing for dynamic scenes and a wide color gamut. Powered by advanced CSP technology using blue and green GaN chips with narrow-band KSF-converted red, the tunable white is available in CRI 90 and CRI 95 options. At approximately 22W (13mm LES), it provides ~2050 lumens (CRI 90) or ~1950 lumens (CRI 95) at 2700K, and ~2350 lumens (CRI 90) or ~2250 lumens (CRI 95) at 4000K—perfect for accent lighting, immersive experiences, and applications in commercial, architectural, and entertainment environments.

“Partnering with Casambi has allowed us to create a fully integrated light engine that simplifies design while enabling powerful wireless control,” said Dr. Yiqun Li, CEO of Bridgelux. “The DriveLux DX3-C and DX4-C combine exceptional performance, a compact form factor, and easy configuration via the Casambi app—empowering designers and manufacturers to deliver smarter, more adaptable lighting solutions with reduced complexity and faster time-to-market.”

Key features of the DriveLux series include:

  - Seamless integration of COB array, driver, and Casambi Bluetooth wireless controls

Fremont, CA and Jennersdorf, Austria – December 3, 2025 – Bridgelux, Inc., a leading developer of high-performance LED lighting solutions, and Lumitech GmbH, the pioneer of tunable white by RGB (PI-LED) technology, today announced a comprehensive patent cross-licensing agreement focused on advanced tunable white solutions using RGBW and RGB-based architectures.

Under the agreement, the two companies license each other to certain respective patents covering tunable white lighting achieved through multi-channel color mixing and proprietary phosphor technologies. The partnership is based on Bridgelux’s leadership in LED lighting technology and Lumitech’s more than 15 years of expertise in white CCT tunable fixtures and  PI-LED technologies.  The cross-license unites Bridgelux’s patents for industry-leading four-color-in-one RGBW packages—including direct-emission and phosphor-converted LEDs—with Lumitech’s foundational PI-LED patents.

Key benefits of the cross-license include:

•  Accelerated innovation and wider adoption of fully tunable white light solutions spanning 1800K to 12000K along the black-body locus (BBL), with constant CRI >90 and efficient lumen output across the entire tunable CCT range

•  A significantly simplified IP landscape for manufacturers developing next-generation human-centric, architectural, and horticultural lighting

• Freedom-to-operate for both companies when implementing tunable white lighting using RGBW or RGB architectures covered under the cross-licensed patents

•  Greater design flexibility with exceptional color rendering (CRI 95+) white light, wide color gamut mixing range, precise circadian stimulus, higher luminous efficacy, and spectral continuity that closely replicates natural sunlight, or adjustable lights with different red and blue ratios for different plant growth.

“This partnership with Lumitech is a game-changer for the tunable white plus RGB color lighting solutions.  By cross licensing our complementary patent portfolios, we are eliminating barriers and empowering customers to bring superior combinations of wide color gamut and white CCT tunable on BBL lighting solutions to market faster and more cost-effectively than ever before,” said Yi-Qun Li, CEO of Bridgelux.  Stefan Tasch, CEO of Lumitech, commented: “Since launching PI-LED in 2008, our goal has been to bring dynamic, black-body-locus-accurate tunable sunlight indoors. Teaming up with Bridgelux allows us to push the boundaries of spectral quality and luminous efficacy even further, solidifying a new global standard for biologically effective, emotionally engaging, and energy-efficient tunable white lighting.”

The agreement is effective immediately. Companies interested in purchasing licensed RGBW lighting solutions or licensing RGBW technology should contact Bridgelux or Lumitech.

Focused on innovation and sustainability, Bridgelux empowers industries and communities worldwide to enhance lighting experiences. Headquartered in Fremont, California, Bridgelux continues to shape the future of illumination technology.

Fremont, CA – March 09, 2025 – Bridgelux, a global leader in LED innovation, proudly expands its renowned Chip-on-Board (COB) product line with the launch of DriveLux™ - a revolutionary series of Light Engine products. By seamlessly integrating COB technology with an advanced driver, DriveLux™ redefines lighting solutions with its compact, replaceable design, exceptional CRI90 efficacy, and versatile mounting options for large, selectable optical lenses in various sizes and beam angles.

Bridgelux introduces two inaugural DriveLux™ series today. The DX1 series, a single-channel static white solution, offers dimmable functionality compatible with phase-cut and 0-10V dimmers. Designed to pair with Bridgelux’s F90 V6, V8, V10, V13, V18, and V22 COBs, the DX1 delivers consistent lumen outputs of 1000lm, 1200lm, 1500lm, 2000lm, 4000lm, and 5000lm to suit diverse applications. With a typical system efficacy of 138 lumens per watt (lm/W) and a broad correlated color temperature (CCT) range of 2700K to 6500K, the DX1 enables precise lighting—from warm tones to crisp, cool illumination—while maintaining industry-leading energy efficiency.

Complementing the DX1, the DriveLux™ DX4 series is a cutting-edge 4-channel RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) Light Engine tailored for dynamic white tuning and vibrant color lighting. Leveraging Bridgelux’s advanced 4-in-1 RGBW CSP COB or 3838 mid-power SMD array technology with an integrated driver, the DX4 offers unmatched color control for architectural, entertainment, and specialty lighting projects. A standout feature is Bridgelux’s patented phosphor-converted (PC) red LED, which matches the 3V forward voltage of other BGW LEDs and outperforms native GaAs red LEDs in thermal droop. This technology ensures high-purity red color and white mixing that aligns with the Bridgelux F90 LED series.
 

The DX4 series delivers tunable white from 1800K to 6500K along the black body locus (BBL), plus vibrant colors via RGB mixing—akin to conventional displays—combined with a dedicated white channel mixing for CRI95 white light. Compatible with Bridgelux’s RGBW D10 and D13 COBs, it offers lumen outputs of 1300lm and 2000lm (LES 10mm and 13mm), with system efficacy ranging from 90 to 120 lm/W. The white channel mixing supports CCT options from 1800K to 6500K, while RGB channel mixing enable millions of fully tunable, dimmable color combinations via compatible control systems. For this launch, built-in DMX control supports standard entertainment industry controllers, with Bluetooth wireless controls in development.

“DriveLux™ marks a significant advancement in our mission to deliver innovative, compact, high-performance LED Engines powered directly by AC,” said Dr. Yi-Qun Li, CEO of Bridgelux. “By integrating our trusted COB technology with advanced drivers and controls, we simplify design and installation processes for our customers while ensuring unmatched light quality and efficiency.”

The DriveLux™ launch reinforces Bridgelux’s commitment to advancing LED technology, empowering lighting designers, manufacturers, and end-users to create sustainable, impactful environments. Additional DriveLux™ series, including enhanced wireless control options, are in development and slated for announcement later this year.
