The company says this advanced design redefines the possibilities of infrared technology and the LEDs impress with improved optical power (940 mW and 980 mW) and up to 35 % higher WPE (Wall Plug Efficiency) at a wavelength of 850 nm.

They come in clear silicone housings and are said to be ideal for use in light therapy devices, security systems or industrial automation. These and other LEDs from ams OSRAM are available at www.rutronik24.com. Thanks to their improved design, the IR LEDs of the OSLON Black SFH 471XB family can deliver exceptional light output and reliability even under the most challenging conditions, setting new standards with integrated IR:6 technology.

An improvement of up to 25 % in brightness results in, for example, the same light output with fewer LEDs in light therapy devices thereby significantly reducing the space required.
