SYLVANIA COLORMIX LED DIMMABLE SYSTEM OFFERS A VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED COLOR PALETTE AND OPENS A NEW WORLD OF FUTURE LIGHTING POSSIBILITIES

New York, N.Y. (October 21, 2004) - OSRAM SYLVANIA recently announced the launch of its new LINEARlight Colormix LED Dimmable System. The LINEARlight Flex Top Colormix LED Dimmable System is a perfect choice for a variety of residential applications including under cabinet lighting in kitchens and illumination of furniture and display cases.

The LINEARlight Colormix module provides dynamic control of colored illumination through the unique use of three chips inside each LED. The units generate little heat during continuous operation. These dynamic and flexible features enable the systems to be used in a widening range of large scale applications, including edge lighting, either transparent or diffused glass, illuminating facades and coves, and a number of other architectural features.

The LINEARlight Colormix LED Dimmable System utilizes:

* OSRAM OPTOTRONIC LED power supply. Compact and electronically stabilized, the unit provides a wide range of input voltage from 100 to 240 VAC on single-phase AC power lines. Supplies are available in 10Vdc and 24Vdc outputs and are protected against open and short circuiting, overloading and overheating. They are UL recognized and FCC compliant;

* OPTOTRONIC OT DIM. This is a compact, electronically stabilized dimming module that provides for open and short circuiting, and overloading and overheating protection. It is ideal for use in color mixing applications with LINEARlight Colormix as well as all other OSRAM LED modules. A THREE CHANNEL DIMMER version as well as a THREE CHANNEL SEQUENCER (with fixed sequences and variable transition rates) are also available.

* OSRAM LINEARlight Optic lens. This lens offers high optical efficiency and increases light intensity by reducing the viewing angle from 120° to 20° (colored LEDs) and 25° (white LEDs), effectively creating a uniformly illuminated, low profile, light strip.

According to Dr. Makarand Chipalkatti, who is responsible for new business development in the electronic controls systems business of OSRAM SYLVANIA, "This new dynamic color control and dimming capability continues to expand current applications for LED-based lighting. With this system and its building blocks, there are new opportunities to apply LED technology to border markers, stair markers, backlighting, and many more."

LEDs continue to grow in popularity as an innovative new form of residential
lighting due to their energy efficiency, long life and the innovative and
aesthetically pleasing lighting fixtures they can be used in. The LINEARlight Flex Top Colormix LED Dimmable System is a perfect way to incorporate cutting edge technology and lighting into your home while maintaining the energy efficiency and long life you value in a light source.
