LEDs are solid state light sources delivering light in a single narrow spectrum or in case of white light in a broad spectrum. LEDs use low voltage making their design very simple and competitive.
Metal halide lamps are AC lamps in which the arc burns in an atmosphere of mercury vapour and halogenides.
Based on the HMI family, further groups of lamps have been optimised for special applications, e.g. HSR, SharXS HTI, 4ArXS HSD and, most recently, the Lok-it! product group.
Halogen lamps are employed for the most varied of purposes, e.g. in entertainment lighting, in medical technology, for airfield lighting and in many other industrial applications.
Compactness, easy replacement, high brightness and light-weight are the key advantages of lamps for entertainment applications. The new SIRIUS HRI system consists of a compact reflector lamp and a ballast.
Fluorescent Lamps
The OSRAM fluorescent lamps STUDIOLINE 55W with 5600K and STUDIOLINE 55W with 3200K are especially designed for lighting in film, TV and video production.
XBO lamps are short-arc lamps in which light is generated by a discharge arc burning in pure high pressure Xenon gas between two electrodes. Also a cold lamp contains considerable overpressure. XBO lamps have a very high colour rendering index and extremely high luminance. For this reason they are used for cinema film projection, high-end video projectors and in light guide systems, e.g. for endoscopy.
HXP lamps are short-arc lamps in which the discharge fires in an atmosphere of mercury vapour under high pressure. HXP lamps generate principally UV and visible light, including a significant portion of red light.
XERADEX lamps are Xenon excimer lamps. The lamps are operated in patented pulse mode. They therefore achieve around 4 times the VUV radiated output compared with conventional lamps. Almost 40 % of the electrical energy consumed is emitted as useful 172 nm vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation.
OSRAM offers different kinds of UV lamps within the overall UV range, from VUV up to UVA. In today's society, tailor-made UV radiation is state-of-the-art technology.
Lamps for scientific purpose are used mainly as comparison standards and calibration lamps for variables and measurements in photometry, colourimetry and radiation physics.
