Osram launches new LED family

Osram announced the launch of the OSLON Optimal family of LEDs, based on the latest ams Osram 1mm2 chip for horticulture lighting.

The new OSLON Optimal LEDs are available at launch in Hyper Red (660 nm) and Far Red (730 nm) colors. Deep Blue and Horti White versions are expected to be available in Q3 2022.

The Hyper Red, Deep Blue (450 nm), and Far Red LEDs have a tight tolerance of peak wavelength. The Horti White LED offers reduced output in the red spectrum when compared to standard white LEDs for illumination applications.

This allows growers to use more direct red emitters such as the Hyper Red OSLON Optimal LEDs to provide the red wavelengths needed for biomass growth and to reduce the reliance on less efficient phosphor-converted white emitters to cover the red part of the spectrum.
