OSRAM CREATES NEW LED SYSTEMS DICISION

German lighting giant Osram recently formed a new global LED Systems (LS) organization in order to respond to growing customer needs for LED system solutions in the general lighting, automotive lighting and display/optic lighting markets. According to LEDs magazine..

The LS division will stand alongside Osrams existing divisions, among which is Osram Opto Semiconductors, one of the worlds largest LED manufacturers.

The new LS organization is intended to bridge the gap between individual systems components -- such as LEDs, heat-sinks and primary optics -- and complete LED lighting systems, and to accelerate the adoption of LED technologies for lighting.

Until now, Osram Opto Semiconductors has sold components, for example the Ostar high-power LED, and other divisions of Osram have assisted customers in developing products. Now, via the new LS organization, Osram will look to offer a more integrated series of products to OEMs and distributors.

The LS product portfolio will include standardized as well as custom LED system solutions for Osrams OEM partners. Examples of recently-introduced standard products include the Coinlight Ostar, which combines a 6-chip Ostar package with an integrated 38° secondary optic and an integrated thermal management system. The product is dimmable and produces 420 lumens.

Other examples include the LinearLight Dragon system, which contains 6 Dragon ThinGaN LEDs on a linear board and is available with heat sink and optics accessories, or even mounted inside a linear fixture. To read more on this topic go to www.ledsmagazine.com.
