enabling high volume LED output at competitive costs. RUSNANO, the fund to provide investment for technology projects in the Russian Federation has provided support for the company and is one of the major shareholders.
“The key goal of RUSNANO is to develop modern production facilities based on leading international scientific knowledge, ensuring they can compete globally. The opening of Optogan’s factory is one of the major synergies of science and business. Technology based on the work of Nobel prize winner Zhores Alferov has been transformed into mass production, making this a first step in the development of a new energy efficient economy and development of the lighting industry in Russia,” said General Director of Rusnano, Anatoly Chubais.
According to Mikhail Prokorov, President of the main shareholder ONEXIM Group, “ONEXIM’s strategy is to invest in these types of innovative companies, which can produce quality products and win a major market share in Russia, as well as the potential to grow globally. We are sure that thanks to this type of production our country has all the opportunities to develop on the global markets.”
The opening of this new high-tech factory in Russia marks another step forward in the modernization and globalization of the Russian economy.
The Optogan Group is one of the technology leaders in the manufacturing of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). With proven innovative and cost-efficient solutions in the fields of high brightness chips, LED components, LED lamps and LED luminaires the company focuses on the needs of its customers.
Optogan was founded in 2004 by three Russian scientists and entrepreneurs in Helsinki (Finland). Since 2005 Optogan GmbH has been developing chip technologies in Dortmund (Germany) and chip production in Landshut (Germany) and is currently ramping up its new production facility in St. Petersburg (Russia). The Optogan Group has sites at Landshut (Germany), Dortmund (Germany), Helsinki (Finland) and St. Petersburg (Russia).
two different LED product families.
For LED lamp, light engine and luminaire manufacturers to receive an Energy Star certificate for their products, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the LEDs used in these products must comply with the LM-80 (Lumen Maintenance) test requirements.
LM-80 test reports provide evidence that the LED component can be assessed and compared across all LED manufacturers. Osram Opto Semiconductors is one of the first to have successfully met the criteria of the LM-80 test requirements with two very different product families; the OSLON SSL and Golden Dragon Plus.
The ceramic OSLON SSL LED and the Golden Dragon Plus premold LED have been inaugurated by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IESNA). Successful completion of the LM-80 test is an essential step toward receiving an Energy Star certificate from the EPA.
The aim of the LM-80 test is to demonstrate, in an abbreviated test of 6,000 hours (approximately nine months), a consistent industry method of measuring lumen maintenance of SSL sources, such as LED packages, arrays and modules. The LM-80 specifies that LEDs are tested at three different temperatures to assure performance in various conditions. In addition to the two predefined temperatures of 55°C and 85°C, Osram has used a third temperature of 105°C to simulate the requirements of highly demanding applications.
Successful completion of the LM-80 test for two of our very different LED product families is a significant achievement, but it’s only the start. Other products are already in the test phase, so in the near future all our high-power LEDs for General Lighting will comply with LM-80 testing requirements. Luminaire manufacturers will then have an important platform for Energy Star certification by the EPA. said Artur Groesbrink, who is responsible for standardization at Osram Opto. The Energy Star certification is essential if companies want to market their products successful in the United States.
Osram Opto LEDs Pass Rigorous LM-80 Testing
The firm’s OSLON SSL and Golden Dragon Plus LEDs have been verified by IESNA LM-80 tests for
