We often hear critical remarks about the ECE’s regulations for approving products, and even more often the opinion that the ECE is holding back the advancement of the LED.

But no, we can’t let that stand.

Safe warnings with the new blue light LED

Police, fire service, ambulances – when they’re called to an emergency, they all need blue light. Up to now, this has usually taken the form of a halogen lamp which is circled by a reflector. In other words, the light beam rotates around the luminaire. But there is a great disadvantage to this. Valuable moments are lost before the warning is seen by other motorists. But LED technology has the answer. With the brightest blue light-emitting diode worldwide, Osram has made it possible to construct blue lights and other signal functions without mechanical parts. With this system, several LEDs can transmit the blue light in all directions without losing a single moment.

Oslon Signal – the brightest blue LED on the market – provides powerful and visible signal lighting for police and emergency service vehicles.
