OSRAM launches small size new power LED module with high efficiency

Osram (OSRAM) recently released a Soleriq new series, with a diameter of 13.5 mm to provide 1500 lumens of LED lighting to replace 100W metal halide power only 15W.

OSRAM power LED modules for the newly released SoleriqS13, product design more compact, light-emitting region has a diameter of 13.5mm, the overall dimensions of 18mm × 18mm. New product has three main advantages: The entire module life more than 50,000 hours can save about 85%, can cover all the color temperature.

Osram Landes Nations Headquarters responsible SoleriqLED product marketing manager Andreas Vogler indicates: "SoleriqS13 suitable for dining and home lighting, it is not only high brightness, and can cover all the color temperature. Moreover, all color temperature CRI of more than 80. S13 greatly expanded SoleriqLED product family application portfolio. "

New products are rated power 15W, 1500 lm can provide illumination, which means it can replace a 100W metal halide lamps, 85% of energy saving. SoleriqS13 excellent brightness can greatly simplify lighting design, you only need to install a component in the fixture, and you can reach a number of elements before the overall brightness. Each chip are arranged close to each other, all located below the conversion layer, a light emitting surface is very uniform, thus ensuring color consistency and light appearance.

For better homogeneity, the chip conversion layer arranged below the circular, which greatly simplifies the LED to the outside of the light guide coupled to the optical element. Lower loss of light emitted, so that more efficient power LED module and lamps. Built SoleriqS13 downlights also obviously have a high energy efficiency, long life and low maintenance costs typical LED edge.

Experts believe EL lighting technology has promising prospect

EL (Electro luminescence) emitting products feature electronic carom excited luminescent material, resulting in electron energy levels Warp, changing, complex physical phenomena caused to emit light, and its products are also known as " EL ", this light source completely any heat to the atmosphere, commonly known as " cold light." EL technology useful products of the eight characteristics compared to traditional light sources.

EL features more than 80% energy savings. Wiring EL lighting consumption is very low, most of the products can be used DC, watt power consumption, energy-saving effect is very obvious.

Reduce heat emissions to the atmosphere of 100%. EL lighting source, no heat, electroluminescent film is a cold light source, the basic physical principles of operation without heating, the working temperature is lower than fluorescent completely emission reductions.

It is harmless and safe and comfortable to use. Absolutely do not produce ultraviolet light, harmful to humans, not its flashing light even and soft light, the eye will not generate tension and fatigue. EL is a half- life of the product (half brightness) to measure, which normally can be controlled according to the different product positioning and reach 3000-25000 hours. Thin bendable. Thinnest of up to 0.18mm, in a variety of shapes and bend light to adapt to the case of the performance requirements, loading and unloading easy to carry random.

It can be any production, cut into various shapes. EL lighting can produce a variety of shapes according to user needs text or patterns. Electroluminescent film different from other light-emitting device, its not easy to face external shocks and broken or lapsed during natural disasters or unpredictable continue to work under harsh environment. Products can be recycled construction materials 100% recycled into the second, and the cycle can be completed in the factory itself, disability products to minimize environmental pollution limits.

Cold light source is almost no infrared spectrum light source, such as the now popular LED light source is a typical cold light. The traditional incandescent and halogen light source is a typical heat source. Cold light emitting principle is in the electric field, resulting in electron impact excitation fluorescent material generates light phenomenon. Has a very excellent optical, variable flash features.

Cold light characterized by the additional energy is almost completely converted to visible light, the other wavelengths of light is small, and on the type of heat source, in addition to visible light but also have a lot of infrared light, a considerable part of the energy into light does not contribute to the infrared light up. Thermal infrared light filters out after adding light and cold light should light emitted almost, as it has been filtered out infrared light.

6 signs that you need a healthier lifestyle

Body load is too large, even when there is no obvious exhaustion and psychological phenomena such as the collapse of our body and brain will send a variety of signals, suggesting that really had enough." Recently, the United States, Oprah Life Network contains text; you summed up the body beyond the limits of six signals." Here is more information about health news and events.

1. Nap while also dreaming. Nap can give the body to "recharge." However, Virginia Massa Jefferson Hospital Sleep Medicine Research Center Director Christopher Dr Venter said that a nap for a maximum of 30 minutes or so, usually only in a light sleep state. But if you take a nap when an eyes closed, they begin to do all sorts of strange dream, suggests that the brain a serious lack of sleep, can not wait to enter the deep sleep phase.

2. Memory deteriorated. Columbia University, anxiety and related disorders clinic director Anne Marie Albano said that some healthy people a bad memory. In fact, these people are "brain overload", hormonal changes disrupt the memory function, people can not remember more content, easy to forget recent.

3. Even worse after exercise. American professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, said Dr Sarah Gulbarga, under normal circumstances, jogging 45 minutes will make people feel very relaxed, but if you're just starting to feel tired movement, it shows the body has been overloaded. Gulbarga doctoral research found that women who were moderate stress intensity exercise, the body will be insufficient supply of energy, feeling tired, and fatigue.

4. Coffee will be trapped. American clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Bristol, drinking coffee descendants of brain activity will change. If caffeine did not work, it means that extreme physical and mental fatigue has been offset by caffeine stimulant.

5. Eat mild foods can also aggravate heartburn. Psychosomatic Medicine Research" published a study that confirmed that stress does not cause heartburn. Even without eating spicy foods, pantothenic acid, or more severe symptoms persist, it shows too much pressure.

6. Scalp becomes sensitive. Pennsylvania clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Fred pressure usually causes skin neuropeptides and other natural chemicals increased, causing inflammation. This inflammation will be the outbreak of acne or rosacea and other forms, and some will lead to vasoconstriction, so that the skin of the face and head too tight, tingling or sensitive.

Roundup: Russian Government is committed to continue to provide free medical services

Russian Health Minister recently said that Russia will not be paid to free medical care, the Russian Constitution guarantees every citizen can enjoy free medical services in public hospitals.

While attending media forum activities that this provision does not change now, the future will not change. After the birth of every Russian citizen can enjoy all the safeguards contained in the national health care services under the scheme. Here is more health care and medical services information.

Russia has been the introduction of free medical care, but will often appear into paying medical rumors. Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev reiterated on various occasions in recent years have not canceled the rights of citizens to enjoy free medical care. Ands latest statement may be proposed by the Minister of Labour for the previous response.

Russian Minister of Labor and Social Security in September this year Tuopi Lin has publicly raised the idea - to cancel the Russian unemployed enjoy the right to free medical care, he thinks it will help to combat so-called shadow work." Minister of Labour explained that some of the " unemployed " have a job, "black income ", but do not pay taxes, do not pay social security and therefore should not allow them to pay taxes and the normal citizens equally enjoy free medical services.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian Constitution, the State remains free medical services provided to citizens, but funding from the budget to health insurance funds.

For the work of the Russian people, labor and employment funds by the party required to pay medical insurance premiums and national budget allocations shared responsibility, including labor and employment insurance premiums paid party is dominant. For people without a job, such as the elderly, children, the disabled and other groups, separate from the State budget commitment.

The health insurance system to ensure that all Russian citizens can get free medical care, free health care projects by law, including outpatient, emergency, hospital expenses. In public hospitals, the patient only has to provide their own medical insurance card; you can enjoy free medical services.

However, the form of free treatment in real life is not always gratuitous. In Russia, many cases, patients need to give red envelopes stuffed doctors to ensure faster fancy disease, or when used in the treatment of better drugs.

Also in Russia, although the doctor offers treatment at no cost, but patients need to spend their own money to buy drugs. People to the clinic to see the doctor, holding a doctor's prescription, you can go to any pharmacy to buy drugs. Drug prices moderate, the implementation of national essential drugs for many price limits.

Russias current health care system is indeed for most ordinary people brought benefits, but there are a lot of shortcomings, such as many public hospitals understaffed, service quality is not high, a doctor needs to line up, insufficient or aging medical equipment, medicines shortages.

Russia free medical care involves only basic, simple medical services; many complex medical services require payment. In Russia, illness, medical treatment is still quite difficult to seriously ill patients; the state can not afford the full cost of medical care in this population.
