The new, freestanding reception building at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ head office in Regensburg (Germany) shows the variety of applications of light-emitting diodes (LEDs); all the lighting functions – workspace, general room, effects and outdoor lighting – are handled by LEDs. In contrast to conventional lights LEDs make completely innovative lighting designs possible while saving energy too – for example, 35 percent alone in the case of...

The Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Regensburg now has yet another attraction. In the newly refurbished conference room known as the “Light” room, linear modules with Golden Dragon LEDs from OSRAM are used to create any lighting of any mood, color and intensity. The LED modules are concealed behind a large panel. Depending on the purpose to which the room is being used, they can provide bright light for concentrating, soft calming light or exciting...
Seoul Semiconductor, a leading LED manufacturer, ranking 6th worldwide and 1st in Korea, announced it released a 1.4W ultra-slim Z-power LED series ‘Z1′; Warm White (part # : NZ10150) and Pure White (part # : WZ10150). A Seoul official in charge of Z1 development said, “Maximum lumens of NZ10150 and WZ10150 are 95 and 120 respectively, the average lumens being 80 and 105 each.” And he added, “Because the body of Z1 is...
