LED from Osram replaces halogen spotlights

Osram Opto Semiconductors has launched a new LED lamp, which measures 13.5 MM in diameter and is available in all colour temperatures. This Soleriq S13 LED is designed for use in luminaires used in hotel and restaurant, shops and luxury residential lighting, where they can replace high wattage halogen spotlights. The new Soleriq S 13 can emitt light of intensity 1,500 lm using a light-emitting surface of 13.5 mm. “The Soleriq S 13 is predestined for the hospitality and home lighting sector, because in addition to its high brightness, it covers all color temperatures. What is more, the color rendering index for all color temperatures is over 80. As a result, the S 13 significantly expands the application portfolio of the Soleriq LED family, whose existing E 30 and E 45 versions previously were designed for downlights,” explains Andreas Vogler, Product Manager in Marketing SSL responsible for the Soleriq LED family at Osram Opto Semiconductors. Osram explains: The individual chips are very closely arranged and all located under a conversion layer (chip-on-board), giving the impression of a homogeneous light emitting surface and ensuring a uniform color and light appearance. For even better homogeneity, the chips are arranged in a circle under the conversion layer. This greatly simplifies the coupling of the LEDs into external, light-guiding optics. The light generated...
