Greater expertise and better service at LED Light for you

OSRAM’s recently developed LED light engines manage the balancing act between maximum efficiency and light quality – with a light output of 122lm/W they achieve a new maximum with excellent colour reproduction (CRI >90, 2,700K). The Munich lighting manufacturer’s latest LED innovation is a winner with its warm white light (2,700K), colour-rendering index (CRI) of more than 90 and luminous flux of over 1,800lm while using only 15W of power. With its compact size it is especially suited to integration in downlights or spots.

With T8 Substitube OSRAM provides a long-lasting LED alternative to T8 fluorescent lamps Saving energy could hardly be easier – existing lighting installations with regular T8 36W fluorescent lamps and conventional control gear can now be switched to economical LED technology with OSRAM’s high-performance T8 Substitube. T8 fluorescent lamps with conventional control gear are still used in many areas but OSRAM is the first major lighting manufacturer to develop a solution to replace them with energy-efficient and long-lasting LED lamps with one simple twist.

What happens if you cross a powerful high-performance LED with a robust torch design? The answer: Crosser - the practical range of torches for outdoor adventurers.
