Osram New 1W Oslon LED

This is the new ultra-white Oslon SSL. LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. Its package measures just 3 x 3 mm, 1 Watt class, a typical value of 100 lm/W. A beam angle of 80°. Its low thermal resistance of 7K/W. In addition to ultra-white (5700 to 6500 K), the LED will be available this summer in neutral white and warm white. Its color temperature will range from 2700 to 4500 K.

The Oslon SSL is manufactured using the latest chip technology, ensuring a high luminous efficacy. At an operating current of 350 mA this light source achieve a typical brightness of 110 lm in ultra-white (5700 and 6500 K), with a maximum possible luminous flux of 130 lm at present.

At an operating current of 350 mA and a color temperature of 3000 K it achieves a typical efficiency of 75 lm/W and a brightness of 85 lm. And brightness is an impressive 155 lm at an operating current of 700 mA (warm white). The advantage here is that applications that demand high lighting levels can be completed with fewer Leds.

Personal comment.
I think it is small, the standard Form factor as XRE, XP, advanced Simplified LED packaging process is used. With Osram world class manufacturing capability, I think likely will be a good price performer! Good news for there will be one good selection for general illumination and a green light source for Tomorrow.
