This announcement follows the introduction of Solid State Lighting technology solutions to RS’ electronic product portfolio at the start of November. The leading distributor of Electronic, Electrical, Electromechanical and Industrial Components, now offers a comprehensive and complementary range of LEDs, drivers, optics, accessories and hardware.
Klaus Goeldenbot, General Manager of RS UK, said: “Light emitting diodes offer major economic benefits thanks to low energy consumption, long life and low maintenance and are the perfect basis for creative ideas and new lighting solutions. In partnership with OSRAM, RS is helping to provide engineers with the easiest access to the widest range of technologies, products, and solutions for all their application development needs.”
