The New Class Of Light With OSRAM OSLON SSL LED
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Introduces One
of the World’s Smallest LEDs in the 1 W Sector
SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- May 05, 2009
The new ultra-white OSLON SSL LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors may
be small in size, at only 3 x 3 mm, but it’s big on performance. Using
the latest chip technology, the 1 W OSLON SSL LED achieves impressive
brightness and high luminous efficiency of 100 lm/W.
The OSLON SSL LED meets the required standard for general lighting usage
and is reliably efficient even at high currents and thanks to its beam
angle of 80° it is perfect for injecting light into external lenses. The
OSLON SSL LED is ideal for spotlights, desk lights and ceiling
floodlights
“Its ability to handle high currents efficiently enables our customers
to create energy-efficient and cost-saving lighting solutions. The OSLON
SSL LED has all the attributes to become the ‘green’ light source of the
future,” said Brian Terao, Director of SSL at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors,
Inc.
The OSLON SSL LED has a low thermal resistance of 7K/W, which simplifies
thermal management. Its compact size gives designers the flexibility to
create extremely sophisticated solutions and in designs where more light
is needed, several OSLON SSL LEDs can be combined to form a cluster. In
addition to ultra-white (5700 to 6500 K), the LED will be available this
summer in neutral white and warm white with a color temperature ranging
from 2700 to 4500 K.
Manufactured with the latest chip technology, the OSLON SSL LED has an
operating current of 350 Ma, which enables the light source to achieve a
typical brightness of 110 lm in ultra-white (5700 and 6500 K), and a
maximum possible luminous flux of 130 lm at present. At an operating
current of 350 mA and a color temperature of 3000 K, the OSLON SSL LED
can achieve efficiency of 75 lm/W and a brightness of 85 lm.
Additionally, brightness is a remarkable 155 lm at an operating current
of 700 mA (warm white). At these performance levels, the OSLON SSL LED
can meet the demand for high-lighting levels using fewer LEDs with
currents up to 1A.
