V Series vs Vero
The V Series predates the Vero line and generally targets value-oriented, general lighting. Vero added tighter color control, more CRI tiers, and a broader flux range for premium and directional work.
Both are COB arrays, so optic and thermal design are similar — choose the V Series where cost matters more than top-tier color.

About the Bridgelux V Series
The Bridgelux V Series is an earlier generation of chip-on-board (COB) arrays, valued for solid output and good value in general-purpose lighting such as downlights, spotlights, and track fixtures. A COB packs many LED chips onto one module to act as a single compact, bright source that pairs well with reflectors and lenses for controlled beams. When specifying a COB, the key figures are luminous flux (lumens), efficacy (lm/W), CRI, color temperature, and the light-emitting surface (LES) size, which determines the optics that fit. Newer COB generations generally improve efficacy, so weigh the V Series against current series on lumens per watt for your application.
