Osram is expanding its portfolio of LED lamps with some innovative products and thus giving its customers more selection. The current portfolio includes 60 different lamp types. In addition to retrofit lamps in classical shapes, the new LED portfolio also includes reflector lamps." With our expanded LED portfolio, we have LED lamps to suit every purpose at a very reasonable cost performance. Customers save money and get good quality," said Peter Dobiasch, head of the Lamps Business Unit at Osram.

The broad portfolio, which will be offered across Europe, makes it possible for consumers to use an LED lamp for virtually every application. That not only benefits Osram itself but also save total power consumption. For example, if every household in Germany were to replace one 60-watt incandescent bulb with a LED lamp offering the same brightness, the energy saved is expected to 1.92 billion KWh per year, which is over half a billion Euros.

Osram divides the LED retrofit lamps into two kinds: LED Superstar and LED Star. LED Superstar lamps offer particularly good light quality, have a lifespan about 30,000 hours, are all dimmable with many customary dimmers, and are available in all classical shapes. In addition, every lamp is guaranteed for four years. The LED Star lamps have a good cost performance and can replace conventional 60-watt incandescent bulbs. With the LED Star Classic A40, since early June at a suggested retail price of below 10 Euros, Osram is now progressing into the next output class of low-priced lamps. 40- and 60-watt replacement lamps are suitable, for instance, for basic lighting in the living room or dining room.

In addition to LED lamps in classical shapes, Osram also is expanding its portfolio of LED reflector lamps, which serve as replacements for classical high- and low-volt reflector bulbs. They are also divided into the Superstar and Star versions. Osram gives a three year guarantee on all Star lamps and a four year guarantee on all Superstar lamps.
