The new PirOLED designer luminaire from OSRAM comprises five ORBEOS panels woven in a double helix of brushed aluminum that catch the directed light of the LEDs in the base. It is designed as a striking luminaire that will compliment any interior.
PirOLED is a hybrid luminaire comprising LEDs in the base and the soft, diffused light of the five rotating OLED ORBEOS panels. The LEDs have been incorporated into the base to shine upwards onto the OLED panels which are reflective on the back, indicating that the LED beam can be directed and dispersed anywhere. The LEDs consume around 6W and the ORBEOS panels consume around 4W, making it extremely efficient.
The 80cm high aluminum double helix is a dynamic sculpture that is based on two ideas: the organic structure matches the DNA helix and the shape it forms is derived from the pirouette, a turning movement in ballet. The design and engineering of PirOLED were developed by OSRAM lighting designer Dr. Martin Möck.
The helix contains five ORBEOS panels with a light density of 1000cd/m2 and over 5,000 hours of operating life. The glare-free light density of the OLED panels has a gentle, soothing effect, comparable to that of candlelight. In addition, the fact that the panels can be rotated within the helix enables the light to be played around with the design of the luminaire which provides much more flexible light distribution than a conventional table lamp. Each of the five ORBEOS panels can be aligned separately and produces the suitable soft light for any interior environment.
The ORBEOS panels provide warm white light (2800K) making PirOLED suitable for lighting that is atmospheric and functional at the same time.
OSRAM, a high-tech company in the lighting industry, is part of the Industry Sector of Siemens and one of the two major lighting manufacturers in the world.
