Osram LEDs enlighten Catherina2 lighting fixtures
FuturoLighting’s latest fixtures developed for planar lighting incorporate Duris E 5 LEDs from Osram Opto Semiconductors
With its Catherina square ceiling fixture, FuturoLighting is presenting a new solution for widespread use in interior lighting.
The firm’s latest LED products are suited to architectural, retail and residential lighting applications.
The luminaire is optionally available with motion sensor and emergency module and has a long operational lifetime.
excellent support,” says Valentin Kulikov, CEO at FuturoLighting.
The ideal LED for planar lighting The Duris E 5 has a homogenous distribution of light in panel lights. With a colour temperature of 4,000 Kelvin and a colour-rendering index of 85, the LEDs generate a light colour which is similar to daylight – an aspect which is particularly important in office and retail lighting.
The Duris E 5s are claimed to be among the most efficient LEDs on the market in their performance class (mid-power), achieving 110 lm/W (at 4,000 K and 120 mA). Since their product launch in October 2011, their output has already been increased by 25 percent.
Osram maintains they are now also achieving very good lumen maintenance figures in accordance with the IESNA LM-80-08 standard. These results are an important factor in the Energy Star certification of LED lamps and luminaires in the USA and also are increasingly being demanded worldwide as a standardised test method for lumen maintenance.
Osram Opto Semiconductors’ Duris E 5 LEDs are mid-power LEDs which were specially developed for applications requiring high-output, homogenous planar light and will be installed in the luminaire.
A smart sensor module detects movement and distinguishes between day and night. This functionality was developed for hotel corridors and rooms where light activation is only required when customers are present in order to decrease facility power consumption.
Based on customer requirements, Catherina2 can be equipped with new emergency module based on Li-ion battery technology, this module is currently under development. The Catherina2 offers high efficiency with minimal power requirements, a life expectancy of over 50,000 hours and requires no maintenance other than normal dusting/cleaning during the whole product life.
“We are proud to include Osram LED technology in our products, with their high quality, reliability and

Andreas Vogler, Product Manager at Osram Opto Semiconductors comments, “Duris E 5 is the ideal LED component for high-output, homogenous planar light applications such as in Caterina2. The excellent price/performance ratio of this LED is prompting more and more manufacturers to convert their product designs to LED technology from Osram Opto Semiconductors.”
Catherina2 has dimensions of 300 x 300 x 55 mm, power consumption of around 25 VA and gives out around 1,600 lm in near Lambertian light distribution.
