Osram launches DURIS E 5 LED for residential retrofits

Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg, Germany says that its new DURIS E 5 LED is intended for the LED retrofit market and has been designed to achieve uniform distribution of light. In particular, with its broad color temperature spectrum, high efficiency and natural color rendering, it is suited to the residential sector and to any other general illumination tasks.

The LED has a high color rendering index (CRI 85) in all available color temperatures and therefore achieve natural color rendering. The LED is suitable for retrofits in the residential sector due to color temperatures of 2700K and 3000K, which are precisely the same as the pleasant light from a classic light bulb. At 89lm/W (3000K) the LED is highly efficient. “Our new DURIS E 5 offers an excellent price/performance ratio,” says Andreas Vogler, product manager SSL. “This means that efficient retrofits with high quality of light can be completed at reasonable cost,” he adds.

The new LEDs have a package size of 5.6mm x 3mm, which complies with industry standard 5630, and can be arranged tightly next to each other. Coupled with their beam angle of 120°, they offer a uniform appearance in a lamp with no shadows or visible points of light.

The DURIS E 5 is also available in color temperatures of 4000K, 5000K, 5700K and 6500K, making it a versatile light source for a wide range of applications. With just one type of LED it is possible to create neutral-white or cold-white lighting (the kind of lighting that is often required in offices and shops). The LED can be installed in incandescent lamp retrofits, panel lights and downlights. They are also suitable for the standard soldering process.

DURIS E 5 is the latest addition to the portfolio of low-power LEDs (<1W) for the SSL sector. The initial product in the family, the smaller (3mm x 1.4mm) DURIS E 3 (launched in June), is now also available in all color temperatures with a typical color rendering index of 85.
