Osram Sylvania has introduced a general-purpose LED light designed to replace screw-in incandescent, halogen, or compact fluorescent bulbs. The company said that it is working on a 75-watt replacement which is an LED.
Osram Sylvania’s new LED lamp targeted at replacing 60-watt bulbs will consume 12 watts and give off 810 lumens, more than a typical 60-watt incandescent. The light, which will be available this fall, is dimmable and will last 25,000 hours, or 12 times more than traditional light sources.
Osram Sylvania said the color rendering, at 2700K, makes it a good option for everyday lighting, including desk lamps, wall-mounted fixtures, and ceiling fixtures.
The company has not said how much it will cost except to say that it will be priced to be affordable with consumer lighting retrofits in mind.
