the years ahead as mass adoption of solid state lighting accelerates.

Bridgelux, a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, announced today that it has been named to Forbes’ prestigious list of America’s Most Promising Companies (led high bay light).  Bridgelux was ranked 58th on the list of 100 privately-held companies selected from 22 industries for their innovative business models and strong management teams. Forbes noted that Bridgelux revenue grew 168% from 2008 – 2010.

“We are extremely honored to be selected by Forbes for this influential list of high-growth, high-potential companies,” said Bill Watkins, Bridgelux’s chief executive officer. “Our technology breakthroughs and innovative product designs have helped drive rapid adoption of our industry-leading array architecture in the general illumination market. We are excited about the prospects of continued rapid growth in the years ahead as mass adoption of solid state lighting accelerates.”

To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, led linear high bay light has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private company’s health. Forbes married Mosaic’s data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects.
