LED light - Image 1German scientists have struck another innovation in lighting technology. Siemens has announced the completion of its Ostar Lighting LED project which has yielded in a tiny LED lamp emitting 1,000 lumen from its frame.

The idea behind the device is simple. The makers of the Ostar LED have made diodes more efficient in converting electricity into light. This, combined with their high-density lighting chip integration techniques have yielded a possible answer to the energy conservation pleas across the world.

This is so because this lamp consumes only 1 watt to generate 75 lumen. That beats the traditional incandescent light bulb that generates 730 lumen with 60 watts. Even a halogen lamp that requires 50 watts to create 900 lumen can't hold a candle to the Ostar.

Essentially, what this new light brings to the table is less energy consumption, less silica for the bulb and smaller diodes that take up less space, all the while giving homes the brightness that they need. The Ostar Lighting LED ships this summer across the EU and US.
