OSRAM OFFERS LED OPTIONS
Lighting Manufacturer Provides Full Range of Custom LED Lighting Solutions
Orlando, Fla. (Nov. 16, 2007) – Regardless of application, the OSRAM line of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is ready to supply a custom solution. Using resources and technical expertise, OSRAM is prepared to outfit a variety of lighting needs with tailored LED systems solutions based on optimizations of the optics, heatsink and power supply.
OSRAM LED systems can now be found in numerous unique locations where lighting is needed, including underwater. Unlike traditional light sources, OSRAM’s LED system is ideal for illuminating ship hulls, cruise ships and under docks. Underwater LED’s custom design is waterproof and incorporates powerfully bright OSRAM blue and white Platinum DRAGON® LEDs. The LED system is conducive to the underwater environment and cold temperature. This underwater LED system is a low voltage system, so it does not draw inconvenient amounts of energy from the ship’s power supply.
Another innovative entertainment LED system design is OSRAM’s color mixing system that can be used in wall wash fixtures. Now lighting designers and specifiers can achieve the right lighting effect with this OSRAM LED configuration of adjustable six chip, six color OSTAR® LEDs which incorporates Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and ThinFilm technology. OSRAM’s ThinFilm technology provides high efficiencies, making blue, green and red LEDs illuminate even more striking. A wide range of desired colors is also made possible. This system utilizes a custom design active cooling method for superior heatsink control.
“OSRAM’s extensive LED portfolio offers a variety for potential customers to make the perfect product choice for a wide range of applications,” Leslie Trudeau, OSRAM LED senior applications manager, commented. “Not only are we dedicated to customizing our LED systems to fit lighting demands, we’re continuing to discover new and innovative functions for our LED systems to replace less environmentally preferable and less energy efficient products.”
In addition to the entertainment field, OSRAM LEDs can be found in airfield, dental and medical applications. For instance, OSRAM LED systems are used for runway approach lights and taxi way guidance signs on airfields. The same technology is also helping in hospital operation rooms as surgical exam lights and in surgery as a white light LED source for endoscopy, making direct line-of-sight observation feasible. Teeth whitening and dental curing is assisted by OSRAM blue LED systems.
