by Shane Henson — November 20, 2013—OSRAM SYLVANIA, a North American provider of energy-saving lighting products, recently launched a full suite of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps geared toward hotels, restaurants and other entities within the hospitality industry.
The SYLVANIA ULTRA 25 LED lamps have a 2500K color temperature that create a warm, relaxing atmosphere for customers, says OSRAM SYLVANIA. The portfolio includes lamp types most often found in ambient, accent and decorative luminaires in hospitality settings such as B10, B13, BR40, PAR20, PAR30 and MR16 lamps.
These energy-efficient replacements for traditional incandescent and halogen lamps offer up to 86 percent energy savings, are phase-cut dimmable down to 10 percent, and have a rated lamp life of up to 25,000 hours. Being able to use the various lamp types—all with the same 2500K color temperature—across a facility offers consistent light quality rather than having jarring differences in appearance. This creates a soothing atmosphere and content customers who want to come back, the company explains.
Of particular note is the SYLVANIA ULTRA B13 LED lamp with a 2500K color temperature, the brightest, dimming LED replacement for a 40-watt incandescent B10 lamp with a light output of 330 lumens. According to OSRAM SYLVANIA, this lamp lasts 10 times longer than traditional incandescent lamps and provides sparkling light that is ideal for hospitality applications in decorative fixtures such as chandeliers and wall sconces.
As OSRAM SYLVANIA notes, lighting has a dramatic effect on how a restaurant, hotel or casino is perceived by customers. The right lighting creates an atmosphere that welcomes guests, enhances their visit, and invites them to return.
“Businesses in the hospitality industry are always interested in reducing energy but are also just as focused on creating a mood that entices repeat customers. Incandescent lamps have offered the desired warm color but at the cost of higher electricity bills,” said Ellen Sizemore, product portfolio manager, LED lamps, OSRAM SYLVANIA. “With our full portfolio of ULTRA 25 LED lamps, the hospitality industry now has more options for creating the cozy atmosphere they desire across their entire facility, rather than just in one area, and lowering their energy bills.”
OSRAM SYLVANIA has been providing lighting products in North America for over a century, and is the North American division of multinational lighting manufacturer OSRAM GmbH.
