On September 8, 2007, OSRAM SYLVANIA was awarded a Primetime Emmy® Engineering Award for OSRAM HMI Metal Halide Lamp Technology from The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. This prestigious award recognizes the outstanding achievement in engineering development and contribution to the progress of the television industry.

OSRAM HMI lamps are powerful discharge light sources that replace the sun, bringing ideal exterior daylight conditions to indoor studios and make exterior locations look like high noon any time of the day or night.

Their robust base design and tolerance to high operating temperatures satisfy the demands of modern TV and film , especially in outdoor applications.

OSRAM HMI lamps are found behind the scenes of countless commercials, movies, and television shows, including recent hits such as CSI Series, Desperate Housewives, The Unit, Big Love, NCIS, Deadwood and 24.  These lamps are also used in news and sports broadcasts by major networks worldwide.
