"Together, Bridgelux and EBV will benefit our customers by providing the infrastructure and resources required to help them bring to market the right products at the right time and at the right cost," said Jim Miller, chief sales and marketing officer for Bridgelux. "EBV's team of Illumineers (LED application engineers) will use their LightLab capabilities to assist our customers in their product design process from product definition through final design verification. With the availability of this tremendous technical resource, in combination with Bridgelux's own applications support capabilities, Bridgelux and EBV customers will be supported by a very knowledgeable team. We believe this will help speed the design and delivery of innovative products to a global market that is demanding LED lighting."
