“The experts in our network are professionals from such fields as optics design and thermal management or the system integrators. Offering wide-ranging specialist knowledge, they are available to help with all LED lighting problems and provide straightforward support with the implementation of new ideas. Instead of conducting their own research, customers can simply submit their ideas to the network and the appropriate partner will contact them directly. Needless to say, every project is treated in the strictest confidence to ensure that unique ideas remain unique,” says Sebastian Lyschick, LLFY Project Manager at Osram Opto Semiconductors. At the Light+Building trade, “LED Light for you” will be located in Hall 4.1, Booth D 50.
develop individual, precisely tailored LED light solutions – for large, medium-sized and small manufacturers, as well as for specialists and newcomers in a wide range of fields and sectors. Many light solution manufacturers don’t manage to harness the full potential of innovative, path-breaking LED lighting, which offers a virtually unlimited array of design and application options. In response, over 90 certified LLFY partners worldwide have proclaimed it their goal to provide advice on the development of standard solutions but also, and most especially, on the implementation of exceptional ideas, taking due account of the respective field of application and individual wishes. In other words, “LED Light for you” is a knowledge platform, providing advice exclusively from highly qualified partners specialised in optics, thermal management and electronics as well as comprehensive system integrators. All of the partners of the Osram network established in 2006 have undergone an extensive certification process and receive ongoing training.
