OLED lamps on the market

OLED is a great lighting technology - providing uniform, healthy, efficient and design-friendly lighting panels. Due to high production costs and low investments, however, the OLED lighting is still in its infancy. Most large lighting makers have scrapped their OLED lighting R&D projects, and the future of OLED lighting is not clear. Click here for more information and our industry news.

 

Following is a list of OLED lamps on the market:

Acuity Brands Nomi

The Nomi is an OLED sconce from Acuity Brands that uses two rectangular OLED lighting panel (made by LG Chem). The Nomi are set to mimic candles hung on a wall. There are two models, the Nomi Straight and Nomi Curve. The Nomi Curve will adopt a bendable OLED.

Riva 1920 K BLADE

The K Blade is a new OLED lamp from Italian designer Riva 1920. It is made from New Zealand's Kauri wood and has a single Philips OLED panel. Reportedly the OLED brightness is "over 200 lumens", which is strange as the GL350 Gen-2, Philips' brightest panel, is only 200 lumens bright. Maybe they are using a new panel (the GL350 Gen-3, perhaps? although an earlier report suggested it will feature 300 lumens).

The K Blade is actually an affordable OLED lamp - it costs €560 and I think it is now shipping.

It can be placed on shelves, consoles, tables, or wherever you need a significant presence.
