OLED lamps on the market - Page 4

Toshiba's portable OLED lamp is a prototype, but the company will make 100 units of this lamp and donate these to quake-hit areas in Japan. Toshiba has no plans to sell these to consumers. The lamps run from either four AAA alkaline batteries or from the embedded rechargeable battery - and Toshiba bundle the lamp with a solar-panel (it can also be recharged via a USB port).

The lamp measure 146x100x18.5mm (at the thickest part) and weight 180g without the batteries. There are no details about the OLED panel itself, which is made by Toshiba. We only know that lamp brightness is 53 lm (similar to a desk lamp) with 100% brightness, it can be dimmed to 30% or 10%.

WAC lighting's Hybrid-OLED luminaire is the first lamp to sport color-tunable OLEDs (Verbatim Velve panels). The Hybrid-OLED includes six OLED panels delivering 300-plus lumens at 12 watts. Besidethe OLEDs, the lamp include 8 low power LEDs (that provide 550 lumens at 12 watts). 

Acuity Brands' Kindred is contemporary-styled lamp and it's "engineered to provide a room with individualized canopies of light, blurring the lines between architecture and lighting". The Kindred includes 45 OLED panels that output 3060 Lumens at 58 Watts (53lm/w). The lifetime is 15,000 hours (L70).

Planned availability: Q1 2012.

The Revel is an OLED chandelier is a lighting system that gives designers the freedom to create lighting patterns tailored to their unique application. Each Revel Module includes 5 OLED panels offering a total of 314 lumens. The efficiency is 48 lm/w and the lifetime (L70) is 15,000 hours. It was inspired by the organic shapes of flowers.

The Airabesc is an OLED/LED hybrid lamp. Here's how OSRAM describe the design: "As if modeled by the wind ('Air'), the elements of the reduced, symmetrical aluminum form seem to be floating in the air. Despite the structure's flowing lightness and harmony which are inspired by the arabesque, a ballet position, the biomorphic shape casts its spell on the observer".

The Airabesc is hand-made from premium materials in Germany and provides warm atmospheric light. The lamp length is 81cm, the width is 30cm and the height is 10cm. It contains 11 ORBEOS (RMW-046) rectangle panels and 6 LEDs (OSLON LCW CQ7P.CC). The power consumption is about 16W. The lamp comes in black, white or polished aluminum. It will be shipping in July 2011 (no pricing info yet).

Cluster+ is a modular OLED/LED lamp by German design firm Benwirth Licht. The lamp uses both LEDs and OLEDs (OSRAM's ORBEOS panels, in fact) to create unique designs. The idea is that you can arrange the lamp in whatever design you want, and so use it as a chandelier, desk lamp, wall lamp and any other arrangement you can think of.

The basic building block is a square that contains either one circular ORBEOS OLED panel or four LEDs. The square block is about 5 square inches in size (and less than 1/8 of an inch thick).

Blackbody's Samothrace is an OLED lamp, sculpture and "modern figurehead" designed by Bertrand Médas from ID'S. It's a silver plated monolith that has an OLED lighting-device on top. It has a 154cm2 OLED surface in total and the whole thing is battery operated. Blackbody says that the batteries last for 8 hours (and charge within an hour and a half).

The Samothrace is available in limited edition from Blackbody.

The PirOLED uses both LED and OLED lighting: 5 ORBEOS OLED panels and 5 LED lamps (OSRAM OSLON LCW CP7P). Light intensity is up to 300 Lux.

The PirOLED is shipping for €9,800.

Lamped is a customizable OLED lamp by D Signed, the Serbian design studio. The lamp uses OLED tiles that are joined with "ball joints" so you can move it all directions - and use it as a floor lamp, hanging lamp, desktop light, etc.

The OLED panels are made by the Fraunhofer Institute and are 106x50mm in size, with a 91.6x41.6mm active area. The brightness is 1000 cd/m², the color is 2900K (soft white). On the foot of the lamp (that is made of molded stainless steel and is heavier than the rest of the lamp) there are dimmer controls.
