Nichia Optisolis LEDs with the full spectrum of sunlight

The latest innovation in LED development is the Optisolis technology form world market leader Nichia. Optisolis™ LED emitters provide a natural light source with a spectrum which achieves the industry’s closest match to that of the standard illuminants, sunlight and incandescent artificial light, having a CRI higher than 98.

The innovative SunLike LEDs from Seoul Semiconductor are the first natural spectrum LEDs on the global market. For the first time an LED can emit light that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight.

The special ability to have a spectrum close to sunlight comes from using a new LED design, with a purple emitter in combination with a red, green, and blue (RGB) phosphor mix, unlike conventional white LED that use a blue emitter and yellow phosphor.  By removing the blue LED chip and replacing it with a purple light one, lighting technology is fundamentally transformed. For the first time it is possible to render colors accurately with very low energy use and positive effects on health. Compared with other LED lights, the new SunLike Series do not have a blue energy peak associated with eye discomfort and poor sleep patterns.
