BEKA selects Osram LEDs for new luminaries
According to Osram Opto Semiconductors, criteria for BEKA were the small dimensions and, as a consequence of this compactness, the ample variety of design options. Also the high light yield of better than 100lm/W at 350mA played a role as well as their high efficiency – the vendor claims that the Oslon SSL consumes 50 percent less energy than former products.
The BEKA LEDlume can be furnished with an ambient light sensor, also from Osram Opto Semiconductors. The sensor automatically adapts the brightness of the luminaries to the ambient light or to the customer’s preferences. This helps to save more energy since the customer can apply dimming or intelligent light controls.
The luminaire are available in a range of versions with power consumption between 16W and 90W. Versions for 12V and 24V operating voltage are also available which enables the customer to operate them with solar power. The specific conditions of the African continent have also been taken into account – the luminaries including the LEDs are designed for ambient temperatures of 35°C. Despite this relatively high temperature, the operating life time of the LED will be no less than 50.000 hours, Osram promises. This complies with the L80 standard – after the nominal operating lifetime, the LEDs still deliver at least 80% of their original brightness.
BEKA and Osram have a long-standing relationship: Already in 2010, BEKA equipped its luminaries for the soccer World Cup stadiums in South Africa with LEDs made by Osram.
