Dear Reader,
Prompted not least by the Ecodesign Directive (EuP) and its regulations, energy
efficiency and sustainability have become the predominant topics in building
services engineering. This has speeded up the development of even better
products. Although quantum leaps have only been made in the context of
LEDs and their technical lighting properties, such as a luminous efficacy of
150 lm/W under laboratory conditions at OSRAM, there is also still considerable
potential slumbering in the established technologies. As a result, room for
improvement remains in terms of the energy efficiency and economy of lighting
systems, including simple installation, straightforward modification or extension
and long maintenance intervals. All further developments and improvements
by OSRAM focus on high benefit for the user.
Examples from the “conventional” sector include the XT versions of our
compact fluorescent lamps OSRAM DULUX L, which have a lamp life of
up to 36,000 hours, or the product families HCI-TT and ET replacing the
mercury vapour lamps. However, electronic control gear units such as the
POWERTRONIC PTo 3 DIM with multiple control functions also have
considerable potential.
Higher luminous efficacy is not the only topic of interest in the LED sector. The
LINEARlight Flex Protect range in Safety Class IP67 for illuminated advertising
uses a new encapsulation material promising greater transparency throughout
the entire life cycle. OSRAM now offers the easy to install LEDVANCE XL down-
lights to replace almost all recessed luminaires with two 26 W compact fluores-
cent lamps.
The range of light management products for indoor use is also changing, for
instance with the HIGH BAY motion sensor for use up to a height of 13 m.
When combined with daylight-dependent control, energy efficiency can be
boosted by up to 45%.
It is system solutions which yield the greatest benefit for users – a domain in
which OSRAM is seen as a competent partner offering a vast range of
products from its Professional Lighting Business Unit. In this way, all project-
specific tasks and requirements can be professionally solved true to our
philosophy of “Choice for the customer”.
This new issue of light sphere is also packed with interesting information
highlighting the system concept.
Yours,
Claus Regitz – Manager Professional Lighting Business Unit

OSRAM congratulates the festival with a unique light show
“Oktoberfest” celebrates 200 years
A dazzling celebration
Between 18th September and 4th October 2010, roughly 6.4 million people
from around the world came to the Theresienwiese in Munich. This year's
“Wiesn”, as it is fondly known, was a very special occasion marking the 200th
anniversary of the Oktoberfest. OSRAM and A&O Lighting Technology GmbH
presented the city of Munich with a superlative light show – instead of a cake
bearing 200 candles, as OSRAM's CEO Martin Goetzeler remarked. Every
evening between 1st and 4th October, hundreds of thousands of Oktoberfest
guests marvelled over a show more astounding than anything seen before:
modern lighting and projection technology bathed the Bavaria monument and
the night sky with a variety of light motifs. The “Ruhmeshalle” pantheon lit up
with atmospheric lighting effects. The base of the monument was also illumi-
nated with three Oktoberfest logos and congratulations.
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Oktoberfest, OSRAM and A&O Lighting presented the city of Munich with a superlative light show. High-power LEDs and light projectors bathed the Ruhmeshalle and Bavaria monument in atmospheric light, painting the night sky with a variety of light motifs.
Link to the future
More than 8,000 high-power LEDs
were used to create this magnificent
architectural illumination of the
Ruhmeshalle and Bavaria monument.
This is tomorrow's technology, for
OSRAM already generates more than
20% of its total sales with this technol-
ogy and less than 5% with classical
incandescent lamps. And so, the
show's LED light bridged the gap
between the long tradition of the
Oktoberfest and its future – which will
hopefully last for another 200 years.
Falcon light projectors – often found
at sports events and large (open air)
concerts – were also used. The
projectors were equipped with XBO
7,000 W and XStage 3,000 W short
arc xenon lamps from OSRAM which
feature an exceedingly high luminous
flux and good colour rendering prop-
erties.
A&O Lighting, one of the industry's
most successful firms located in Oyten
near Bremen, was responsible for
production and technical execution
of the light show.
There was a socially responsible
element to this project, too: OSRAM
ensured that, throughout the light
display, the spectacle illuminating
Munich's night sky had no impact
on the climate. The total energy con-
sumption, including that for transport
to and from the location as well as
installation and dismantling, was con-
verted into the savings which can be
made by using energy-saving lamps.
The figure was generously rounded up
to the equivalent of the savings made
with 200 energy-saving lamps and
OSRAM donated a corresponding
quantity of such lamps to the charity
“Münchner Tafel”.

By popular request
OSRAM has responded to users'
increasing demands by extending
the functionality of the new DALI
PROFESSIONAL light control system.
After all, DALI light control systems
are now proving their value every-
where, be it in office and conference
rooms, the hotel and restaurant trade
or in industrial environments, such as
high-bay warehouses. What's more,
the tasks required of dimmable
lighting solutions can focus on energy-
efficient operation, as well as on the
reproduction of defined lighting
scenes.
New applications with DALI PROFESSIONAL light control system
A new dimension in management
Fig. 1 The new DALI PROFESSIONAL light control system proves its potential for lighting solutions in office or conference rooms, as well as in the industrial sector.
DALI control units can be used not
only for all conventional lamps availa-
ble on the market, but also for LEDs,
thus creating the basis for made-to-
measure lighting solutions.
The requirements imposed on light
control systems have increased suc-
cessively with the establishment of the
DALI interface standard. In addition
to basic functions, such as daylight-
dependent control with occupancy
detection in offices or industry, there
is also a growing demand for use-
based light scenes in meeting and
conference rooms (Fig. 1). These
two capabilities can also be com-
bined, for example in multi-purpose
buildings, to accommodate different
events and different types of use.
Flexibility is another bonus
Flexibility is another factor underlying
the rapid spread of DALI technology.
When a room's use changes and
its layout is adapted accordingly, the
various light groups need only be
reprogrammed without having to
modify the wiring.
Since light groups can be flexibly
addressed by such DALI light control
systems, installation is greatly simplified
in relation to one based on 1 .... 10 V
technology. Besides which, standard
mains-compatible installation lines can
be used as a control line.
For higher demands
Sensor systems and operating
elements must increasingly be con-
nected to two-wire DALI control lines
in order to be able to upgrade existing
lighting solutions in a way that is a
less labour intensive task than when
laying additional wiring. This simpli-
fies the planning of such extensions,
too.
To meet these requirements,
OSRAM has developed the new DALI
PROFESSIONAL light control system
with sensors and operating elements,
such as push-buttons or touch panels,
which can be connected to the DALI
control line in addition to the DALI
luminaires.
Up to 64 freely addressable DALI
control units can be connected to
each of the four DALI outputs. Further
sensors or operating elements can
also be connected without having to
reduce the number of DALI control
units.
The potential in the four DALI lines of
the DALI PROFESSIONAL controller,
each of which has a control line up to
300 m long, is unrivalled, with a total
of 256 individually ad dressable ECG
units which can be broken down into
5

Fig. 2 With four DALI lines and the possibility of connecting sensors and operating elements, the DALI PROFESSIONAL light control system offers extensive flexibility and convenience for installation and planning.
as many as 64 light groups, as well
as up to 16 sensors via coupling mo-
dules and 32 push-button couplers,
each for four standard push-buttons
or switches (Fig. 2).
As of early 2011, it will even be possible
to connect maintenance-free radio
switches using EnOcean technology
directly to the DALI line via a special
receiver.
Diversity is the key
The DALI PROFESSIONAL light control
system opens up further areas of use
for DALI. The sensor systems can
be installed either in the luminaire or
as a standalone unit in a suspended
ceiling (Fig. 3). And the same diversity
also extends to the operating elements:
from simple push-buttons or main-
tenance-free EnOcean radio switches
and the design-oriented “Glass Touch”
user interface to a configurable Touch
Panel (Fig. 4).
The controller which lies at the heart
of the system features plug-and-play
functionality, meaning that simple
applications can be achieved without
reconfiguring the DALI system. In this
way, all DALI luminaires which are
already connected to a DALI output
can be switched via an occupancy
detector connected to the same DALI
line, or they can be manually switched
or dimmed via push-buttons.
Correct functioning of both the instal-
lation and the connected DALI lumi-
naires can be checked by means of
two buttons on the controller; an LED
indicator makes diagnosis easy.
The structured configuration software
ensures that functionality and light
groups can be individually adapted
in line with project requirements via
clearly structured work steps.
The DALI PROFESSIONAL light control
system offers an array of capabilities
benefiting luminaire manufacturers,
as well as ambitious electrical fitters
or planners and light planners. DALI
PROFESSIONAL ensures considerable
value-added, whether it serves a basis
for dynamic lighting solutions geared
to energy efficiency, for atmospheric
light scenes or whether it caters to
both these aspects at once.

New awareness
Terminal T3 at Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport is the most ambitious
infrastructure project undertaken to date in India and symbolic of the country's
booming economy. The glass and steel construction was officially inaugurated
by India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the beginning of July 2010 –
well before the XIXth Commonwealth Games started on 3rd October 2010.
The terminal is designed to handle roughly 34 million passengers per year.
The new terminal building will be one of the largest in the world: with an area
of 500,000 m² it ranks 6th behind such terminals as Peking with 900,000 m²,
Madrid with 757,000 m² or Bangkok with 563,000 m². A total of 48 directly
adjacent and nine remote aircraft parking bays, 78 passenger boarding
bridges and 168 check-in desks will ensure that passengers are handled in
less than 45 minutes.
The new terminal T3 was built in a record-breaking time of 37 months by
40,000 workers at a cost of roughly 2 billion euros.
Long-term
The airport's development, manage-
ment and operation are in the hands
of Delhi International Airport pte. Ltd.
(DIAL), a joint venture between the GMR
Group with a 54% holding, Fraport
and Eraman Malaysia, as well as the
state-owned Airports of India with a
blocking minority of 26%. The licence
runs for 30 years with optional renewal
for another 30 years. On account of
its extensive experience, Fraport AG
is responsible for the air port's trouble-
free operation, while Eraman Malaysia
acts as retail consultant.

OSRAM India was awarded the con-
tract for delivery of lamps and control
gear by the Debbas Group with head-
quarters in Beirut, Lebanon, which
had been commissioned by GMR to
handle the entire architectural lighting.
For OSRAM, this is the largest project
worldwide involving HO CONSTANT T5
fluorescent lamps. In addition to the
lighting for the terminal building itself,
however, the overall contract also en-
compassed illumination of the runway
– which can even accommodate the
Airbus A380 – with 45 W and 200 W
halogen lamps, as well as equipping
the offices with 70,000 T5 fluorescent
lamps.
Exceedingly bright and efficient
The building with its colourful facade
facing the runway and decorated
with huge Buddha hands above the
check-in desks was designed by the
British architects Mott MacDonald
(Fig. 1). A glass roof mounted on
white pillars ensures that the building
is flooded with sufficient daylight while
at the same time reflecting the sun's
heat. In this way, the energy required
for lighting and air-conditioning has
been reduced.
Positive features count
During the hours of darkness, 67,000
HO CONSTANT 54 W and 24 W T5
fluorescent lamps controlled by
34,000 dimmable QUICKTRONIC
INTELLIGENT electronic control gear
units and 16,000 QUICKTRONIC
PROFESSIONAL units ensure a
bright, friendly interior atmosphere.
They are supplemented by more than
9,000 compact fluorescent lamps
and metal-halide lamps.
Excellent efficiency is assured above
all by the system of HO CONSTANT
T5 lamps and QUICKTRONIC
INTELLIGENT (Fig. 2).
This ensures a luminous flux of 90% in
the temperature range between 0 °C
and +70 °C, while luminaire efficiency
is improved by more than 10% by the
T5 CONSTANT technology (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 The comparison highlights the excellent luminous flux behaviour of the HO CONSTANT T5 lamps.
The two-lamp QUICKTRONIC

Experience brings value-added
Integrated into a daylight-controlled
lighting installation, the dimmable
QTi 2x28/54 DIM ECG units can boost
energy efficiency enormously – in re-
lation to static installations – by more
than 30%, reducing both CO2 emis-
sions and costs at the same time.
The multi-stage System+Guarantee
from OSRAM covering the combination
of HO CONSTANT T5 lamps and
QUICKTRONIC INTELLIGENT naturally
also generates value-added.
The very first ECG to fail is replaced,
without waiting for the specified ECG
failure rate to be exceeded. In other
words, OSRAM consistently stands
for high quality.
For DIAL, however, ecological com-
patibility is important not only when
it comes to lighting, but also with
regard to the landscaping around
terminal T3: more than 920,000 trees
and plants, including a selection of
exotic orchids, have been planted
around the terminal complex.
Terminal T3 concludes the first phase
of expansion at Indira Gandhi Airport,
which is ultimately destined to handle
up to 100 million passengers per year.

Future-oriented training for electrical fitters
Lighting control enters the training curriculum
Tailored to specific tasks
Lighting control systems are becoming steadily more
important for two main reasons. For one thing, both rising
energy prices and statutory regulations to improve the
energy efficiency of buildings are having an impact on the
design of lighting solutions. Potential energy savings can
be tapped here with the aid of lighting control units with
occupancy detectors and daylight-dependent control. The
DALI interface standard paves the way for concepts which
are both simple and functional, and in which light groups
can be flexibly configured on the basis of individually
addressable DALI control units.
The other reason is that LED technology is becoming
increasingly important as a basis for RGB colour mixing
or for applications using white light with variable colour
temperature. Lighting control is essential here.
At the same time, there is a growing awareness of the
fact that lighting control must be included in the training
curriculum (Fig. 1). This applies primarily to electronic
engineers specialising in energy and buildings (EFEG),
electronic engineers for building services (EBT), electronic
engineers for buildings and infrastructure systems (EGI)
and event technicians.
This has prompted OSRAM and ELABO TrainingsSysteme
GmbH, a leader in the didactic training systems market
for basic and advanced industrial and technical training,
to discuss ways of translating the subject of lighting
control into suitable training material and to consider
which lighting components would offer the best support
to this end.
Based in Kindingen, the company offers a large range of
practical training solutions for electrical engineers in the
fields of automation / control technology, as well as instal-
lation and building services management. Rainer Wrenger
from the department of Marketing Development Light
Management Systems at OSRAM discussed the subject of
lighting control with the head of development at ELABO TS,
Johann Hausner.
OSRAM: Mr. Hausner, the profession
of electrical fitter is changing. How
are you adjusting to this development?
ELABO TS: We are keeping an eye
on the industrial market environment
so that those trends which become
established in the long term can be
spotted early on. These subjects are
then incorporated into our training
concepts and hardware systems
developed to implement these future
technologies in the reality of everyday
training. The didactic complement
is provided by practically oriented
manuals ensuring the competent
transfer of knowledge.
OSRAM: Which points do you focus
on when designing training systems?
ELABO TS: One point of importance
is for the training system to clearly
and comprehensively reflect the
structure of the technology. All char-
acteristic features are presented to the
trainees in the best possible quality
and with a clear practical relevance.
Everyday competence is reinforced

by the didactic structure of the train-
ing system. We achieve this through
the appropriate choice and optimum
arrangement of real industrial compo-
nents.
OSRAM: How important do you
consider lighting control to be for
electrical fitters?
ELABO TS: Lighting control will
become more important for two rea-
sons, namely energy efficiency and
convenience. Both are decisive criteria
for the user. For the electrical fitter,
attention focuses on simple and
correct installation. It should also be
possible to configure the functionality
individually in each case.
OSRAM: How do you view the DALI
standard in this context?
ELABO TS: Electrical fitters' knowl-
edge of DALI differs considerably,
especially as regards the simpler
installation and improved capabilities
in comparison to 1…10 V technology
– this makes it all the more important
to convey this information during the

training stage and to prepare young
professionals for these technologies
(Fig. 2).
The Touch DIM interface of DALI
electronic control gear provides an
easy introduction. In a next phase,
the individual control units can be
operated via DALI without conversion.
OSRAM: How important are LED
solutions and which know-how is
needed?
ELABO TS: Trainees must be intro-
duced to the possibilities offered
by LED technology. Many firms are
lacking in this respect. We consider
it important for training systems to
draw attention to the fundamentals
and the basic principles underlying
control systems, as well as to their
potential, and to provide tips for
installation.
OSRAM: How much do experienced
electrical fitters know about LED
technology?
ELABO TS: LED technology is asso-
ciated with saving energy, better
luminous efficacy or higher efficiency.
Their knowledge of the variety of
applications, LED control, operating
conditions and installation varies con-
siderably. This makes it all the more
important to include the principles of
LED technology during the training
phase and to highlight the differences
between this technology and conven-
tional lighting control systems.
OSRAM: In this context, how do
you see the principles of and the
possibilities offered by the EASY Color
Control light control system – an option
which can be used, among other
things, for LED applications?
ELABO TS: As it is a modular system
with easily installed components, it
will be of interest to all “electrical fitters”
(Fig. 3). EASY Color Control can be
used for projects large or small. As
a result, the various modules can
be used in the training system either
individually or in combination.
OSRAM: Mr. Hausner, thank you for
this interesting conversation. We wish
you all the best with your training
concept for lighting control systems.

More and more popular
Lighting installations with DALI light
control are versatile systems ranging
from applications with simple manual
dimming of a small number of lumi-
naires to networked solutions with
numerous luminaires linked to the
building management system via
gateways. This makes DALI equally
suitable for both individual offices and
large open-plan offices in which a
flexible layout is part of the everyday
life (Fig. 1). Dimmable luminaires with
DALI control units for all standard
lamps are now commonplace.
To date, most of the simple dimming
solutions are based on the Touch
DIM principle, the mains voltage at
the DALI input being adjusted as
required via a standard push-button.
DALI repeater: extension component for universal use
Touch DIM broadens its horizonsHowever, this convenient system is
coming up against its technical limita-
tions: six DALI control units with a total
cable length of 25 m represent the
maximum possible. Due to the under-
lying principle, synchronisation may
be lost between the individual control
units if they are more numerous or
in the event of poor mains quality
with harmonics. One possible con-
sequence is that individual luminaires
cannot be dimmed or switched in the
group.
Intelligent solution
OSRAM recommends the use of
its DALI repeater for small or larger
Touch DIM applications. With the
DALI repeater, up to 64 DALI units
can be dimmed in one group with a
single push-button input – even with
a cable length of up to 300 m (Fig. 2).
If this proves insufficient, several
repeaters can be cascaded to form a
larger system of any desired size and
the connected DALI luminaires dimmed
as a group (Fig. 3).
Synchronisation no longer poses a
prob lem, as only one DALI signal is
sent to the ECG units on the output
side.
New freedom
Alternatively, the DALI repeater can
also be combined with a radio receiver
using EnOcean technology. Featuring
battery and maintenance-free technol-
ogy, EnOcean radio switches are ex-
tremely flexible, as they can be simply
affixed to glass surfaces or partitions.
Fig. 1 The range of DALI-based lighting installations extends from simple manual dimming to networked solutions with manifold requirements.

Touch DIM broadens its horizonsIn lighting solutions with DALI control
units, such as DALI PROFESSIONAL
from OSRAM, or DALI gateways for
linking to the building management
system, the DALI repeater also makes
it possible to increase the number
of controllable DALI control units. In
such a system, the DALI repeater
acts as a connected DALI ECG, the
control units on the repeater's output
side operating as a single light group.
Versions for all requirements
The DALI repeater is available both
as a flat 21 mm housing for installation
in the luminaire and as a rail version
with integrated relay contact for in-
stallation as a standalone unit (Fig. 4).
This contact can be used to discon-
nect the supply voltage and thus
eliminate stand-by losses inside the
unit when the lamps are off. The
inrush current of the connected DALI
control units must naturally be taken
into account here – the maximum
number of devices per switch contact
is specified for the various types in
the repeater data sheet.
These two versions of the DALI
repeater from OSRAM offer much
more scope when expanding DALI-
based lighting solutions. This yields
major advantages for planning and
installation which will benefit not just
luminaire manufacturers, but planners
and electrical fitters, too.

Homely atmosphere
Idyllically set in park grounds and just a stone's throw from
Hamburg's city centre and the Alster lake, the privately
run Grand Elysée hotel attracts guests with its family
atmosphere. Every last detail in the hotel bears the stamp
of its founder Eugen Block. High-quality materials, warm
colours and exquisite design make for unique 5-Star luxury.
It is therefore no surprise to find that the Grand Elysée won
the Conga Award 2009 as Germany's best conference
hotel. A total of 511 spacious rooms and elegant suites
ensure that the hotel's guests feel thoroughly at ease. The
hotel's vibrant centrepiece is the “Boulevard”, the place to
meet, with boutiques and six restaurants with first-class
international cuisine.
The Grand Elysée is also a sought-after venue: 25 rooms of
all sizes equipped with the latest technology accommodate
conferences, seminars and festive events for anything from
two to 1,200 people – and always with a perfect setting.
Ready for the future
The hotel celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2010 –
reason enough for a thorough renovation. In the large
“Hall of Mirrors”, for example, the Hamburg firm göpotec
Gesellschaft für Licht- und Elektrotechnik mbH has
converted the six crystal chandeliers to innovative LED
technology from OSRAM (Fig. 1). Now, LINEARlight
Colormix Flex LED modules have replaced the 360 40 W
incandescent lamps which will be banned throughout
Europe from 2012 onwards. Controlled by OPTOTRONIC
OT75 and OT DMX RGB DIM control units, the Hall of
Mirrors will in future shine not only in white, but also in
every conceivable shade thanks to RGB colour mixing

– always precisely tailored to the occasion and the specific
requirements, such as the Corporate Design of a corporate
event.
And the result is illuminating in every respect. Fitting the
chandeliers with LEDs reduces energy consumption by
36,000 kWh per year – the investment consequently pays
off in just nine months. This innovative solution in the Hall
of Mirrors is rounded off by 20 LEDVANCE Downlight L
luminaires from OSRAM. The energy-efficient luminaire
with OSLON LED is unobtrusively designed with an opaque
diffuser. Due to its outstanding system efficiency and
excellent technical properties, the LEDVANCE Downlight L
replaces conventional versions with compact 26 W com-
pact fluo rescent lamp or 75 W low-voltage halogen lamp.
The oval reigns supreme
LINEARlight DRAGON Colormix LED modules similarly
create a fitting mood when used as the backlit "eye" in the
middle of the ceiling in the “Oval Office” (Fig. 2). Their po-
tential for saving energy is also impressively demonstrated
in the multi-functional sixth-floor Board Room with its
panoramic view across the roofs of Hamburg. Controlled
by OPTOTRONIC control units and OT DMX RGB DIM
dimmers, the modules create stunning coloured light scenes
with exceedingly homogeneous illumination. What's more,
energy efficiency has been boosted by 42% in comparison
to the previous lighting solution.
A glowing reception
The transforming effect of LED light is not only shown in-
side: the newly built canopy roof outside the “Large Foyer”
– the reception area leading to the festive hall – also catches
the eye with a spectacular presentation of coloured light
for events. The glass ceiling backlit by DRAGONchain
Colormix LED modules appears exceedingly homogeneous
(Fig. 3). Now, the players of the football club “Hamburger
SV” can be fittingly welcomed as regular guests in their
traditional blue colour.
The advantages of LED lighting from OSRAM, especially
its energy efficiency and the long service life with reduced
maintenance, were so obvious that the innovative semi-
conductor lighting has now been installed in many areas,
including the en-suite bathrooms, the cove lighting near
the elevators and the display cases. The Grand Elysée
has become a reference project demonstrating the variety
of possible LED applications.

Efficiency with distinction
Energy efficiency is the predominant
topic in all project considerations,
building analyses and lighting con-
cepts. The new OSRAM DULUX L HE
lamp family consequently attracted
considerable interest very soon after
being introduced on the market
(Fig. 1). With a luminous efficacy
of up to 100 lm/W at an operating
temperature of 35 °C, these lamps
offer considerable value-added for
lighting solutions in offices, hotels
and public facilities, for their con-
nected load can be significantly

Efficiency and excellencereduced without diminishing their
brightness.
The most common areas of use are
covered by wattages of 16 W, 22 W,
26 W and 28 W with a luminous flux
ranging from 1,600 lm to 2,800 lm.
The OSRAM DULUX L HE family with
a mean lamp life of 20,000 hours
includes versions with a colour tem-
perature of 3,000 K and 4,000 K.
Combining these lamps with standard
QUICKTRONIC PROFESSIONAL QTP5
or QUICKTRONIC INTELLIGENT QTi
electronic control gear or dimmable
QTi (DALI) ... DIM ECG units results in
exceedingly energy-efficient systems
which can be dimmed to 3% of lumi-
nous flux.
The better alternative
With these properties, the OSRAM
DULUX L HE compact fluorescent
lamps are ideal, for example, for use
in standard luminaires which offer
both outstanding energy efficiency
and excellent light quality. Lamping
with 4 x OSRAM DULUX L HE 28 W
or 4 x OSRAM DULUX L HE 26 W as
an energy-efficient alternative to the
standard OSRAM DULUX L 4 x 55 W
compact lamps reduces the connec t-
ed load by roughly 50% (Table 1).
Besides which, luminaire efficiency
can be boosted from 80% to over
90%. Incorrect lamping is prevented
by the slightly modified 2GX11 base
and socket system (Fig. 2).
Having recognised the advantages
of these energy-efficient OSRAM
DULUX L HE compact fluorescent
lamps, a number of luminaire manu-
facturers have responded by designing
their luminaires to operate with them,
prime examples being the standard
luminaires ECO from Neuco and
CAPA from Zumtobel (Fig. 3). The
latter stands out through its luminaire

efficiency of over 95% combined with
a high proportion of direct light and
consistent reduction of luminance,
resulting in a luminous flux of almost
85 lm/W for the luminaire.
Advantageous on the ceiling
OSRAM DULUX L HE compact fluo-
rescent lamps also demonstrate their
advantages when fitted in square
flush-mounted ceiling luminaires. Their
good performance is highlighted by a
comparison of systems with T8 and
T5 lamps in louver luminaires (Table 2).
The luminaires' higher luminous flux
and energy efficiency yields a variety
of benefits. Maintenance costs are
also reduced, as only two lamps are
needed instead of four.
With their energy efficiency and lamp
life, OSRAM DULUX L HE compact
fluorescent lamps are good news
in large-size design luminaires, too
(Fig. 4), such as those in long-duty
use in hotels and public facilities.
Together with ECG units from OSRAM,
the new OSRAM DULUX L HE lamp
family represents the cutting edge,
being exceedingly energy-efficient.
What's more, systems comprising
the OSRAM DULUX L HE compact
fluorescent lamps and OSRAM ECG
are covered by the proven 5-year
System+ guarantee. And when these
two components are combined with
LMS control units from OSRAM, the
new so-called Premium guarantee
from OSRAM comes into play, yielding
additional benefits for the user.

Concentrated competence for more efficiencyConcentrated competence for more efficiencySiemens and OSRAM join forces on the “Building KnowLEDge” tour
Focus on the futureEnergy efficiency and sustainability have become the predominant topics in building services engineering. The application-based light and building services management of the future is considered the key to meeting the stringent criteria imposed on energy efficiency for “Green Buildings” and low-energy buildings. Intelligent management is based on innovative products, systems and services, as well as highly efficient complete solutions. Today, quantum leaps are being achieved above all in the relatively “young” fields of LED and OLED technology. What's more, there are many ways to meet the needs of climate and environmental protection while simultaneously cutting operating costs and boosting cost-efficiency.

halogen lamps will also be presented.
Ideal conditions are created for
optimising the functionality, energy
efficiency, light quality and conveni-
ence of each application when they
are linked via the intelligent DALI
MULTIeco light control system from
OSRAM.
Siemens' know-how in the field of
“Building Technologies” provides the
framework for perfectly harmonising
the various subsections.
This interaction forms the basis for
energy-efficient, versatile and creative
solutions generating a high user
benefit. Particular attention will also
be paid to room automation, energy
monitoring, e-car charging stations
and photovoltaic systems.
The fascination of efficiency
The nine events of the “Building
KnowLEDge 2011” tour in Germany
(Fig. 2) and the 13 in the rest of
Europe will impressively demonstrate
how ambitious goals in terms of
energy efficiency and sustainability
can be achieved with innovative
technologies.
Papers by knowledgeable Siemens
and OSRAM employees will present
comprehensive information on
•basicLEDknow-how
•lightplanningwithLEDs
•lightingcontrol
•intelligentbuildingmanagement
services.
These topics can subsequently be
discussed in depth to boost personal
competence in solving the manifold
requirements encountered in shops,
offices and the hospitality sector. For
added benefit, experts from the two
companies' light, building automation
and energy distribution divisions will
provide intensive advice and support
encompassing all subsections.
The presented opportunities offered by
innovative technologies from Siemens
and OSRAM will certainly provide
inspiration – and in a professional
setting, too.

Inspiration
The Europe-wide tour "Building
KnowLEDge 2011" (Fig. 1) provides
true inspiration for future-oriented
complete solutions in light and buil-
ding services management. Siemens
and OSRAM – two technically pro-
gressive companies with a long
tradition – have joined forces to draw
attention to the potential of modern
products and systems.
In 13 European countries and 22 cities,
electrical fitters, electrical and light
planners, wholesalers and architects
can talk with competent partners and
discover more about a new generation
of light and building services tech-
nology. Events are planned for the
following locations in Germany:
Munich, Mainz, Stuttgart, Cologne,
Hamburg, Bochum, Berlin, Dresden
and Hanover.
Structured variety
Each event in the “Building Know-
LEDge 2011” tour consists of three
components: an interesting exhibition,
an information forum with presenta-
tions on the latest technologies and
a spectacular LED cube.
Shops, offices and the hospitality
sector have been chosen as focal
areas from the large range of appli-
cations covered by Siemens and
OSRAM. Innovative lighting solutions
in the field of building automation and
energy distribution will be presented
live to illustrate typical tasks in these
domains. Different OSRAM LED mod-
ules, such as LINEARlight Colormix
Flex or LINEARlight DRAGON Slim,
display their potential in combination

Successful miniaturisation
The potential inherent in metal-halide
lamps is revealed wherever brilliant
light with very good colour rendering
is called for. Over the years, these
lamps have become ever smaller and
more powerful with the development
of new burner technologies. Another
step towards further miniaturisation
was taken when the POWERBALL
HCI-TX/P was presented at
Light+Building 2010.
The POWERBALL HCI-TX/P metal-
halide lamp from OSRAM – the
smallest shatterproof HID lamp
for use in open luminaires - has a
round ceramic burner and a new
base-and-socket system, the GU8.5
Twist & Lock (Fig. 1). With a maxi-
mum length of 98 mm including the
contact pins and a diameter of just
22 mm, the HCI-TX/P is unrivalled.
POWERBALL HCI-TX/P from OSRAM displays potential
Small in size, bright in light!Despite its compact size and
additional protective bulb, the lamp
delivers a very high luminous flux of
3,300 lm at 35 W and 7,300 lm at
70 W. As a result, this miniaturised
lamp achieves a luminous efficacy
of up to 100 lm/W.
The metal-halide lamp is designed
for use with electronic control gear
and operates most efficiently with
the matching POWERTRONIC unit
from OSRAM. Its average lamp life
of 12,000 hours makes for longer
intervals between lamp changes and
reduces maintenance work, which
ultimately also cuts operating costs.
Fig. 1 The shatterproof POWERBALL HCI-TX/P metal-halide lamp for use in open luminaires is not only unrivalled as regards its degree of miniaturisation, but also when it comes to lamp changes.
Fig. 3 The "Audi Urban Future Award 2010" in Venice was brilliantly illuminated by POWERBALL HCI-TX/P metal-halide lamps (photo: Sabine Reitmaier).

Small in size, bright in light!Greater freedom through
easy handling
Since the POWERBALL HCI-TX/P
lamp is approved for open luminaires,
a cover glass is not required. This
results in simpler and more cost-
effective luminaire designs as com-
pared to other technologies, ultimately
permitting more attractively priced
lighting systems.
The GU8.5-Twist & Lock system –
whose standardisation is currently
proceeding at the International
Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) –
is set to make life even easier. The
principle underlying the system has
already been used in the GU6.5 base
of the POWERBALL HCI-TF metal-
halide lamp for closed luminaires and
not only makes it easier for everyday
users to replace lamps, but also to
clean the luminaire. And that saves
both time and money.
The GU8.5 base is robust and the
socket ensures that the lamp is
locked securely. As a result, the lamp
is firmly secured and the pins reliably
make contact. In other words, the
lamp is precisely positioned in the
reflector to ensure optimum light
distribution.
Quick and easy lamp changes open
up new possibilities in terms of
handling. For the light colour can be
adapted in line with the time of year
or fashion trends, practically in a few
swift moves. The metal-halide lamps
are available in two light colours:
warm white with 3,000 K and neutral
white with 4,200 K and an excellent
colour rendering index of 93 and 96,
respectively. Brilliant presentation of
the user's goods is assured.
Brilliance is called for
POWERBALL HCI-TX/P metal-halide
lamps create brilliant highlights, above
all in decorative open downlights and
spots. They can be used for a whole
variety of purposes: in boutiques and
department stores, as well as in office
buildings, showrooms or exhibition
stands. Being shatterproof means
increased safety, the POWERBALL
HCI-TX/P can also be used for high-
quality lighting in hotels and restau-
rants where open luminaires are not
uncommon. The reinforced UV filter
protects colours and materials more
effectively than a conventional lumi-
naire with simple cover glass.
From 27th August to 26th September
2010, the POWERBALL HCI-TX/P
metal-halide lamp showed its brilliant
qualities at the exhibition “Audi Urban
Future Award 2010” in Venice (Fig. 2),
at which the award was also presen-
ted. The aim of the Award is provide
a look to the future and encourage
debate over the interaction between
mobility, architecture and urban de-
velopment.
In the lighting concept developed
by the Berlin engineering office
Kardorff Ingenieure Lichtplanung, the
open luminaires built by Interferenz
Lichtsysteme GmbH in Tönisvorst
were seemlessly integrated into the
walls of the pavilion. Reflected by
mirrors, the POWERBALL HCI-TX/P
lamp presented the exhibits of the six
internationally renowned architectural
offices in brilliant light with very good
colour rendering at one of its first
public appearances (Fig. 3). The stray
light was used to illuminate the ceiling.

News in brief
From the very beginning, the family of QUICKTRONIC PROFESSIONAL QTP5
electronic control gear units was the first choice for many users, as demonstrated
by the usage in a large number of projects with very different fields of application.
The second QTP5 generation introduced just over a year ago has followed in the
same footsteps. This successful family is now supplemented by QTP5 3x14 and
4x14 for three and four-lamp operation of LUMILUX HE 14 W T5 fluorescent lamps.
The properties of these ECG have been considerably improved to create even
greater freedom.
The most important feature of the QTP5 is its service life of 100,000 hours with a
maximum failure rate of 10% at tc = 65 °C. The shorter housing means that series-
connected emergency lighting modules can also be accommodated. More rapid
switching from AC power to DC power also makes them significantly more suitable
for emergency lighting systems.
Almost all applications can be covered in combination with LUMILUX CONSTANT, XT,
ES or Natura T5 lamps. The possibilities range from car parks, warehouses or cold
stores where very high or very low temperatures are encountered and extremely long
maintenance intervals are required, through to cost-effective and energy-efficient
lighting of large areas, such as supermarkets and open-plan offices. With the pos-
sibility of combining suitable sensor systems and industrial use with luminaires of
Safety Class II. Until recently, the latter applications in particular, i.e. those without
any earthing whatsoever, were the domain of conventional control gear or special-
purpose products and therefore very expensive ECG units. Thanks to the conside-
rably better EMC properties, the standard QTP5 ECG units are now also ideal for
use in single and two-lamp luminaires of Safety Class II.
The QUICKTRONIC PROFESSIONAL QTP5 certainly deserves to win a prize for
its versatility. These electronic control gear units are not only an ideal partner for
T5 lamps, but also for the new energy-efficient OSRAM DULUX L HE compact
fluorescent lamps - see page 14 of this edition of light sphere.

Whether for peaches or for car body parts: the QTP5 ECG unit from OSRAM is always an ideal choice in combination with LUMILUX T5 lamps.
