Osram Opto Semiconductors introduces the Osram Ostar Medical, a light-emitting diode (LED) component with a colour-rendering index (CRI) of 95 and the possibility of adjusting the temperature of the white colour. This makes it suitable for medical applications, for instance, in operating rooms where a precisely controlled chromaticity coordinate and high natural colour rendering are crucial.
The new Osram Ostar Medical is comprised of four different LED chips in the colours: warm white, ultra white, verde (green) and amber (red). This permits users to set the shade of white emitted by the LED according to their individual requirements within a colour temperature range of between 3700 Kelvin and 5000 Kelvin and at an overall CRI of 95. This combination of precise chromaticity coordinate control and high CRI is particularly important for lighting in the medical sector. When optimised for the red spectrum (RaR9), the CRI remains at around 95 so that red shades are particularly true to life, suitable for light systems in operating rooms.
With a footprint of 5.9 millimetres (mm) × 4.8mm and a housing height of 1.2mm, the design of the Osram Ostar Medical is very compact. The product owes its compact design to the flat, anti-reflection-coated glass cover with which the LED is equipped instead of the usual lens. As with other members of the LED family, the Osram Ostar Medical is installed with standard soldering processes.
