Osram Expands LED Lamp Portfolio

Osram is starting with a range of LED lamp developments for the new lighting season that traditionally begins in October.
 
For the current lighting season, Osram is launching a lamp type featuring state-of-the-art technology that looks almost identical to classic carbon filament lamps. “LED filament” is the name of the new technology where tiny LEDs are interlinked and surrounded by a glass bulb, as were incandescent filaments in previous years.
 
All new LED Retrofit Classic from Osram comply with the demands of energy efficiency class A++, meaning they consume around 90% less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, and have a 15 times longer lifespan with 15,000 hours.
 
LED filaments feature 25 to 30 tiny LEDs configured in a line on a miniaturized PCB, and these are connected in series and surrounded by a phosphorous cast that gives the so-called filament its yellowish color.
