OSRAM SYLVANIA now offers a complete family of
METALARC POWERBALL Ceramic lamps. The patented
round ceramic arc tube in METALARC POWERBALL lamps
allows for superb color rendering, long life, and improved
lamp-to-lamp color consistency. The lamps are more
energy efficient than halogen light sources, making
METALARC POWERBALL lamps an ideal choice to help meet
new stricter energy code requirements in retail, grocery,
and high-end commercial applications. METALARC
POWERBALL lamps are now available in wattages ranging
from 20W to 320W and in an assortment of configurations
including tubular (T4.5, T6, T7.5), medium base E17,
mogul base BT28 or BT37, and reflector (PAR20, PAR30,
PAR38) types. A competitive comparison of recently
introduced 20W TC and 20W PAR30 types is given below.
OSRAM SYLVANIA recently formed a new global LED
Systems (LS) organization in order to respond to growing
customer needs for LED systems solutions in the general
lighting, automotive lighting and display / optic markets.
The new LS organization is responsible for bridging the
gap between individual systems components such as LEDs,
heat-sinks and primary optics versus complete LED light
source systems.

The products developed by this new organization will
integrate LEDs, optics, thermal management solutions,
and electronic drivers to offer optimum LED systems
solutions. The products will be initially developed
specifically for OEMs, set-makers and distributors to
accelerate the adoption of LED technologies for lighting.
The LS product portfolio will include standardized as well
as custom LED system solutions for the company’s OEM
partners.
The LS organization has five global functions;
manufacturing and operations, marketing, research and
development, applications engineering and controls. The
organization consists of three business development
regional organizations located in Europe, NAFTA and Asia
and headed globally by Dr. Klaus Ziemssen. The NAFTA
organization is headed by Sameer Sodhi. This new
organization will not only integrate and manufacture LED
systems products utilizing current component technologies
but will also focus on the research and development of
new and innovative LED systems technologies.
