OSRAM is one of the two leading light manufacturers in the world. The company’s portfolio covers the entire value chain from components – including lamps, electronic control gear and opto semiconductors such as light-emitting diodes (LED) – as well as luminaires, light management systems and lighting solutions. DIMO has been the local representative for OSRAM for several decades and has been a contributor to lighting solutions in some of the large and significant projects in Sri Lanka such as the Kettarama Cricket Stadium, Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Colombo Racecourse Rugby Grounds etc. All of these projects were given world-class solutions from Osram with the technical expertise of DIMO engineers. The speakers at the program spoke about the transition of lighting and the changes in technologies and where the future of lighting will be. They further stressed that LED lighting was the lighting of the future and showed that OSRAM was geared to meet that challenge.
