Lumiotec started shipping their OLED Lighting kits back in February 2010. We were finally able to get our hands on one, and here's our hands-on review. We have already reviewed the Philips Lumiblade and the OSRAM ORBEOS panels, and we'll compare them all in this review.
What's in the kit?
The kit includes one OLED panel, a controller, a stand, a power adapter (with a nice plug adapter). You also get a couple of user manuals which explains all about the OLED panel and controller. The OLED panel is 145mmx145mm (the active light emitting area is 125mmx125mm). The panel is 4.1 mm thick (but the frame is 4.8mm thick). The OLED weights 195 grams and the the maximum brightness is 4,000 cd / m2. The lifetime is quoted at 30,000 hours (at 1,000 cd / m2 brightness level) and the efficiency is low - about 11lm/W.

The controller is just what you'd expect - power goes in from one side, and a short cord can be connected to the OLED panel. You can turn it on or off, and there's a dimmer switch. The controller is large and looks professional - but the power adapter is large and it makes the whole kit very bulky. I prefer OSRAM's
battery-powered OLED kit, although the Lumiotec panel will be easier to integrate into actual lamp designs, I think.
