OSRAM Street stationed in South Korea investment projects

March 18, 2009 - China News - OSRAM Opto Semiconductors company's products are favored by South Korean lighting manufacturer GALED, in its PRAUS street lamps using the OSRAM GoldenDRAGONPlusLED. At present, the PRAUS street lamp prototype has been installed in a number of busy gold in South korea. The installation of these LED street lamps is a positive response to the call of the government of South korea.

Since the middle of 2008, South Korea has four locations in the installation of the 80W/150WPRAUS street lamp prototype LED, to replace the original metal halogen lamp and sodium lamp, including the nearby Gangwon City Yuanzhou Town Hall Road, Yuanzhou Hanna university campus, Kwangju district government office building and Jecheon City Dayuan Science University campus. According to GALED estimates, after installing these LED street lights, an average annual savings of more than 55% of energy. With a color temperature of 6500K GoldenDRAGONPlusLED, these road lights can also be the best color rendering index (CRI) issued a higher quality white light: the index increased from 30 to more than 65, improve the visibility of the night.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak stressed that to overcome the current downturn in the economy, it is essential to save energy, and urged local governments to try to reduce local energy consumption. The South Korean government plans to replace all the incandescent lights of all public facilities by 2012 as more energy-efficient LED lights.

Jiang Xixun, chief executive officer of GALED, said: "as a Korea Companies, we are very proud to be able to help promote the implementation of energy conservation programs by installing LED street lamps throughout the country. We will continue to work with local governments to promote the installation of LED street lamp project. This, in the short term or in the long run, will bring direct benefits to the community. The reason why we chose OSRAM street lamp GoldenDRAGONPlusLED, precisely because OSRAM has the lighting industry's most advanced LED technology. Therefore, the government will be announced in April street lighting standards, we firmly believe that our products will be able to meet their stringent requirements."

Dr.AlfredFelder, President and chief executive officer of OSRAM semiconductor Asia Ltd., said: "we are very grateful to the South Korean government for its commitment to energy conservation as a national priority. As a leader in the global lighting industry, OSRAM will continue to forge ahead, to promote LED to become a more environmentally friendly alternative to light sources, and can maintain excellent luminous brightness."

GoldenDRAGONLED can provide the brightness of full-color spectrum, power consumption reduced by 80% compared with incandescent lamp, life can be up to 50000 hours. LED street lamp is excellent in quality, strong and durable, and the maintenance interval is longer. In addition, the LED also significantly cool white white LED color and excellent choice, and can flexibly adjust color temperature according to the needs of specific lighting applications.
