OSRAM Opto Semiconductors LED Light Site November 2013 Newsletter 

Welcome to the November 2013 Solid State Lighting newsletter from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. This month we feature the OSLON SSL LED, introduce you to our new DURIS S 8 LED and tell you what's happening in the industry. You can also find a spotlight feature on an award winning LED bulb. Exciting news!

 

Did you know that the average person encounters over 140,000 LEDs every day? Look around and check out our new infographic.

LED Lighting Trivia

OK LED experts, this might take you way back. Who can tell us which semiconductor materials are used for yellow, orange and red LEDs? Hint: For blue and green LEDs, it's InGaN.

Find the answer on our Facebook Page this week.  

Featured Product

OSLON SSL: The power LED duo with optimized beam angles

The OSLON SSL 80 and 150 offer innovative ways of maximizing the efficiency of your lighting products. As the first of their kind to hit the market, these remarkably compact LEDs offer beam angles optimized for use with lenses and reflectors. This revolutionary feature, combined with a broad range of color temperatures and color rendering indexes, opens up new possibilities for cost-effective, sustainable lighting solutions - whatever the application.

Compact

With a footprint of only 3 x 3 mm, the OSLON SSL LED is one of the smallest, high-power lensed LEDs on the market today, enabling compact arrays and maximizing flux over area.

Powerful

The OSLON SSL LED can be driven up to 1000 mA while OSRAM's power chip technology remains efficient even at the highest drive currents. A low thermal resistance of 5.8 K/W ensures cool running and a highly efficient product.

 

Long lasting

With reasonable thermal management, a lifetime of more than 50,000 hours is easily obtainable, even at high drive currents.

OSLON SSL white binning

OSLON SSL LEDs are available in different correlated color temperatures, from warm white 2700 K up to cool white 6500 K. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' fine binning system is based on a three-step MacAdam ellipse to ensure color consistency in any lighting application.

 

Features

  • The first power LED with sophisticated beam angles (80�/150�)
  • Ultra-compact footprint for high-density arrays saving space and simplifying color mixing (only 3 x 3 mm)
  • Neutral to warm white, capable of high power up to 0.8 A, cool white and all colors up to 1 A
  • Compact and symmetrical, allowing dense clustering for high-flux packages
  • Thermal resistance of RthJS (typ.) 5.8 K/W
  • Lifetime of more than 50,000 hours (application specific)
  • Different versions (LCW.CC, LCW. EC, LCW.PC, LUW) for various CRI requirements
  • Broad color portfolio: red, green, blue and other colors available
  • Light recycling through the use of a reflective layer within the package reducing light absorption

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Releases a New Infographic

If you don't think that LEDs are in your life, better think again: Between automotive, consumer, industry and illumination LEDs, the average person encounters over 140,000 LEDs every day.

Since the first practical infrared and visible-spectrum LEDs were developed over 50 years ago, these tiny semiconductor chips have been used in an incredible range of products and places - way beyond lighting - and have changed how we live our lives. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' new infographic provides a snapshot of how widely LED technologies are used, from the obvious to the obscure.

Innovation and technology are embedded in every step of the process at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.  This is evident in the development of new chip and package technologies and how our wafers have grown in diameter from 4" to 6" to 8" used today. These advancements ensure OSRAM Opto Semiconductors delivers the right products to global markets.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
LEDnovation lamps shine with OSRAM Opto Semiconductors LEDs
  

The LEDnovation Bright For Life BR30 LED lamp was recently honored at the 2013 American Lighting Association Conference.

LEDnovation, a leader in the development of LED replacement lamps, accepted winning honors in the 2013 Lighting for Tomorrow competition for their Bright For Life BR30 LED Warm Dimming lamps. The competition challenges manufacturers to meet consumer expectations through continuous design improvement of their products and technologies coupled with increasing market acceptance and awareness of energy efficient lighting.

The winning LEDnovation product is illuminated with OSLON LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. Employing LEDnovation trichromatic color concept, the BR30 lamps deliver a high CRI of 93 coupled with a color temperature of 2700.  The OSRAM Opto Semiconductors LEDs deliver warm white light with high efficiency and a high color rendering index and demonstrate what can be achieved with semiconductor light sources.

LEDnovation's Bright for Life BR30 lamps break new ground in the LED lighting industry with the most accurate representation of true incandescent and halogen dimming. Featuring a unique digital dimming control, trichromatic color solution and customized dimming profile algorithms, the lamp, when dimmed, follows the black body planckian locus with exceptional fidelity. The result is the industry's first lamp with the true look and feel across the entire dimming range of a traditional incandescent BR30.

By providing superior performance, higher efficiency and longer life, LED lighting continues to gain acceptance for a growing number of applications. LEDnovation's energy efficient Bright For Life LED BR30 reduces the frequency of replacement by offering 25 times of lifetime of an equivalent incandescent BR30 lamp, a critical attribute for reducing maintenance costs.

Congratulations to LEDnovation on this accomplishment! For more information on this award winning LED bulb, visit http://www.lednovation.com/.

The best light on the road 

FuturoLighting uses OSLON Square LEDs for new street light

FuturoLighting, a Slovakian supplier of LED lighting solutions and a member of the OSRAM partner network "LED Light for you", has elected to use LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors in its "StreetStick" street light. Each luminaire is fitted with two 20-Watt LED modules, each comprising 12 OSLON Square LEDs. The luminaire can achieve a brightness above 4,000 lm at color temperatures between 4000 and 5000 Kelvin and a CRI of over 70.
