It's reported that Osram Opto Semiconductors and Tong Fang Co. Ltd. use Osram Golden Dragon LEDs to illuminate the elegant dragon-shaped water fountains in Beijing's Olympic Park.
Dragon-shaped water fountains for the Olympic Games were outfitted with Osram's Golden Dragons, with lens and enhanced thin-film LED components, providing the 「dragon」 with its characteristic golden glow, a lamp containing 24 Osram Golden Dragon LEDs radiates yellow light upwards to a height of 15 meters, illuminating the 「dragon」 for four to five hours every evening, turning an already impressive visual into a truly stunning sight to behold. Altogether 1,920 lamps containing 46,080 Golden Dragon LEDs help bring the dragon fountain to life.
Tong Fang, a company engaged in the information technology, energy and environment industries ultimately chose to work with Osram Opto Semiconductors because of the certain benefits. It is the first time that Tong Fang discussed their idea for the dragon fountain with Osram, as it was a perfect opportunity to show the versatility, efficiency and advanced technology behind their Golden Dragon LEDs. This kind of innovative and creative thinking is precisely how they aim to revolutionize the lighting industry in China and the rest of the world.
The LEDs come with one of the narrowest viewing angle integrated lenses in the industry, taking up less space and reducing the need for secondary optics. Furthermore, the high optical efficiency (61 lm/W) of these yellow LEDs enhances energy efficiency, while the over 50,000 hours lifespan minimizes maintenance costs. Tong Fang has already received extremely positive feedbacks from people who've witnessed the fountain in action, especially with respect to the golden color, which resonates with traditional Chinese perceptions of dragons, as they symbolize power, prosperity and celebration; and this summer is set to be one of the biggest celebrations ever.
