Osram introduces Golden DRAGON oval Plus LED

Osram Opto Semiconductors of Sunnyvale, CA, USA has introduced the Golden DRAGON oval Plus LED, which it says provides ideal illumination for energy-efficient street and tunnel lighting without the need for secondary optics due to an integrated lens.

The Golden DRAGON oval Plus has been developed specifically for street lighting applications, says the firm. With its oval beam characteristics (80° vertical, 120° horizontal) and integrated long-life silicon lens, it provides energy-efficient street lighting with minimal light pollution. Furthermore, the light is directed precisely on the area to be illuminated, with no upward stray light.

Different streets require different lighting solutions, so Osram offers the Golden DRAGON oval Plus LED in various white tones with an efficiency of 90 lm/W in cold white (6500 K colour temperature) and 80 lm/W in neutral white (5000 K). The warm white version with a colour temperature between 2700 and 4500 is ideal for lighting where a warm and welcoming atmosphere is required. At 4500 K it achieves an efficiency of 65 lm/W and produces an aesthetically pleasing warm white light.

“Our new ‘street lighting LED’ combines various lighting benefits in one innovative package. It is highly efficient, and has a long lifetime due to its silicone lens. Additionally, it offers good visibility at night because the LEDs can be arranged in the system to distribute the light accurately delivering light where it is most needed. This new light source also makes it easier to upgrade current systems to more efficient street lighting with LED technology,” says Dr Markus Klein, head of SSL Product Development at Osram Opto Semiconductors.
