Osram launches Streetlight
Osram has introduced an
innovative new LED module onto
the market for brilliant and
efficient illumination of public
spaces. Streetlight is a highly
resilient and energy efficient
module that consumes just 29W
and benefits from a lifetime of up
to 50,000 hours. Its compact
dimensions enable individual
luminaire design and it is easy to
install without using any tools
due to a metal base plate that it
simply snaps into. Streetlight
features an optical lens reflector
concept using three multichip
LEDs to ensure improved uniformity for technical street lighting.
