For a long time the use of LEDs was restricted to indicator lights on electrical equipment, effect lighting and a few experimental light fittings for the home. Now, however, these tiny light sources are being used more and more in general transformatoare lighting applications.
New high-intensity LEDs can compete with conventional lamps in terms of their luminous intensity and completely outclass them in terms of economy. In many areas in which fluorescent, halogen and incandescent lamps have traditionally been used, such as architecture lighting, illuminated advertising and signage, security lighting and shop decoration, LEDs have now become a real alternative. The light emitting diode offers impressive economy, aesthetics transformatoare and technology. Indoor use Imagine a room that is brightly lit but with no visible light fittings. Easy to do on a bright sunny day, but at night-time that is precisely what LED lighting can do a real vision of the future. Although up to now a larger number of LEDs have had to be used to achieve the brightness levels of conventional light sources, their small size makes them extremely versatile and provides the impetus for new luminaire designs. OSTAR Lighting LED Even large LEDs are significantly smaller than fluorescent lamps or light bulbs. The Ostar from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, for example, is hexagonal in shape and can be used to create either two-dimensional or three-dimensional arrangements. It produces lots of light (420 lm at 700 mA) in a very small space. Powerful effects can also be achieved transformatoare in furniture lighting. LEDs such as the 0.3 mm-high SmartLED or the slightly larger SideLED from OSRAM can be incorporated unobtrusively transformatoare in furniture designs to produce small but impressive lighting effects. In such applications the LEDs themselves are no longer seen as light sources. Excellent heat dissipation means that the LEDs are extremely safe. Their long life of up to 50,000 hours and therefore their low maintenance requirements enable LEDs to be fully integrated, and there is no need to make sure they can be easily accessed. Glass cabinets can be lit more effectively with LEDs than with fluorescent lamps. OSRAM MultiLED, for example, has three individually controllable colour chips in red, green and blue which can be mixed to produce any colour. Playmobil Funpark LEDs are driving forward a revolution in so many different areas, particularly in luminaire design. Up to now, most people have associated artificial light with relatively large light fittings. With high-intensity LEDs, however, a table light with a light source measuring just a few square centimetres is all that is needed to provide enough light to work or read in comfort. The largest version of the high-output Ostar Lighting LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, for example, offers 420 lm at an operating current of 700 mA, which is more light than a standard 20 W low-voltage halogen lamp can provide. Economy is therefore another important aspect. The values for Ostar are better than those of any energy-saving lamp. The right white for any situation transformatoare LEDs can do much more than provide light year after year after year while consuming very little transformatoare electricity. They can create moods with crisp cool spotlighting or by simulating the cheering effect of natural sunlight transformatoare both are possible with modern converter technology. The OSRAM Golden Dragon LED, for example, offers three different white tones with colour temperatures of 3250 K, 4200 K and 5600 K corresponding to warm white, neutral white and daylight white. Turning Torso tower With appropriate lighting control, transformatoare a single table light can adapt to the various needs of users throughout the day and night. If the table light is equipped with LEDs such as Golden transformatoare Dragons with different white tones, it can be used throughout the day with cold white light, making it ideal for working, and then switched to warm white LEDs in the evening to provide atmospheric bac
