Presenting on a rightfully beautifully lit stage to a full house, OSRAM’s product specialists took some time to share with attendees the newest advancements in OSRAM’s lighting solutions portfolio.  The main focus of the event, however, was the importance of energy-efficient products and the enforcement from Westminster.

“Only recently, the humble light bulb is beginning to take centre stage,” said David Schofield, OSRAM Managing Director.  He then went on to discuss how the British government is trying to phase out older energy guzzling lamps. 

“The fact is that we as manufacturers have a huge task on our hands,” said David.  “I call it the triple whammy – It’s good for the planet, good for the customers, and it’s good for businesses.”

OSRAM Trade Business Unit Manager Steve Stark discussed the wide range of solutions and how they can profit businesses;  OSRAM National Sales Manager Geraldine Jones spoke of OSRAM’s range of energy saving compact fluorescent lamps; National Specification Manager Dave Ellis shared his halogen lamp expertise showcasing the worlds first full range of Halogen Energy savers; Graham Lewis, OEM Business Unit Manager talked about new technology in ceramic metal halide lamps; and Mohammed Islam discussed the benefits and opportunities for LEDs.  Even EDA Director Nigel Ellis spoke about the lighting market via a video interview.  OSRAM Marketing Manager Lorraine Bergandy hosted the event along with discussing the display units and demonstration kit options for the merchandise.

“From a simple switch to a full scale change of lamp systems, it can pay off for you, your customer, your customer’s customer and the climate,” said Lorraine.

After the presentation concluded, attendees had a chance to chat with the OSRAM sales team, sample products and view eye-catching displays.

“This was a fantastic event and a great way of raising awareness about all the opportunities that are coming our way,” said Ray Smith, Edmundson Electrical Director of Supplier Relations.  “Whether technological change or climate change, this is a great opportunity for lighting.”
