Date Announced: 18 Aug 2009 OSRAM’s PARATHOM® Classic is the world's first LED lamp with a screw base that can be used as a direct replacement for a 40W GLS lamp. However, the PARATHOM® Classic requires just 8W to achieve the same light yield, i.e. 80 percent less energy and over its lifetime it will save 400 kg of CO2. With an average service life of 25,000 hours, it lasts 25 times longer than a traditional incandescent lamp. This new lamp is at the forefront of the LED revolution."The OSRAM PARATHOM® Classic is the ultimate cutting-edge product for end users who wish to be ahead of the pack when it comes to lighting technology, providing them with the most innovative and energy-efficient lighting technology the world has ever seen," says Christian Schraft, Head of Consumer Lighting at OSRAM."We are proud to launch the very first bulb shaped LED lamp which constitutes a true substitute for a 40W incandescent lamp.
