OSRAM ORBEOS OLED
The ORBEOS is a new lighting panel ideally suited for designer luminaires, decorative lighting and mood lighting. Extremely thin and flat, with very low heat dissipation, OLEDs can be embedded into most materials with ease. With an instant on/off function, plus high quality of light, this ambient light can become an integral part of objects and architecture.
OSTAR SMT LED
The OSTAR SMT LED, one of the featured launches from the new range, is developed for applications where the highest possible power density is required, the exceptionally compact design makes the OSTAR SMT LED the perfect choice for designs where space is at a premium. With extremely high luminance and multi-chip technology, the new OSTAR SMT LED is ideal for atmospheric lighting solutions and pico projectors. As a surface mounted device, it also combines easily with secondary optics.
The OSRAM range is available online at rs-components.com/osram, complete with all the comprehensive technical information necessary to enable easy and accurate product selection. Products are held in-stock for delivery direct to customers.
