OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Introduces Partner Network: LED Light for you at LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL 2006; Network With Online Portal Will Facilitate Business Relationships in Advanced Lighting Solutions

LAS VEGAS--May 30, 2006--OSRAM Opto Semiconductors today announced that it will premiere its new partner network and website, LED Light for you, at LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL 2006. Aimed for designers and architects, lighting specifiers/consultants, and lighting fixture manufacturers, the LED Light for you (LLFY) global partner network will highlight the options presented by LED (Light-Emitting Diode) technology in lighting applications.

OSRAM's LLFY will help customers find suitable partners for their intended LED applications, particularly in the general lighting arena, while helping others quickly familiarize themselves with the application and future potential of this technology.

"With advancements in LED technology, general lighting applications are starting to use this powerful light source," Ellen Sizemore, North American director, LED and IR Products Groups, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, said. "In launching the LED Light for you network and portal website, we hope to provide a one-stop resource for customers that inspires and helps them bridge the gap from the technology to the application," she added.

The LLFY network program will bring OSRAM's customers together with diversified and competent partners to support them with tailored or standard LED solutions and support. The balanced partner portfolio will focus on addressing optical solutions, electrical design and thermal management.

Partners are chosen based on their innovative technologies, ability to provide first class support and regional availability. Rigid qualification criteria are applied to ensure that only certified partners are included in the network and provide value added services as well as support to OSRAM's customers.

The key element of the LLFY network is a powerful web-based portal (http://www.ledlightforyou.com) that facilitates the link between OSRAM's customers and the certified LLFY partners. Using the LLFY portal website, a lighting designer, for instance, can quickly get a comprehensive overview about information ranging from components to design and engineering support. Additional links provide easy-to-click contact information to knowledgeable partners, their products or services.

Parties interested in becoming LLFY affiliates can register directly through the platform or by contacting OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. Upon successful completion of the certification process, partners will be included in the network and activated on the web portal. OSRAM will operate the website; however, business relationships will occur directly between certified partners and customers. OSRAM's LLFY will serve as a "contact" platform, not as a sales platform. Additional LLFY complete systems solutions will be offered through OSRAM's LED Systems Division. LED Light for you is one more step to help OSRAM's customers to be even more successful in the general lighting arena and to light the future.
