#Osram #LED Goes Green--Draws 30 percent Less Juice

Osram says it can cut the power bill for your LEDs by 30 percent with its latest prototypes using improved indium-gallium-aluminum-phosphide materials. Look for super bright, but lower power, LEDs to eventually replace most incandescent indoor lighting by 2015. R.C.J.



Here is wht Osram says about its announcement: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has set a new laboratory record by increasing the efficiency of red thin-film LEDs by 30%, using a new optimized chip platform. A prototype of a red Golden Dragon Plus LED-- the latest generation of OSRAM’s red 1-by-2 mm thin-film (InGaAIP) chip--achieved an efficiency of 119 lm/W at an operating current of 350 mA...
