ams OSRAM Unveils World’s First Batwing Optic LED family for Horticulture Applications
ams OSRAM expands its comprehensive portfolio of horticulture LEDs with the Oslon Square Batwing. Every plant needs a certain amount of light in different wavelengths for an optimal growth. Special luminaires in greenhouses and indoor farms combine red, blue and white LEDs, depending on the light recipe required for the plant. Current LED fixtures often have a lambertian primary lens and no secondary optic, or a simple glass cover, which lead to hotspots with high concentration of light directly under the luminaire. The result is areas with different intensities of illumination, causing inconsistent yields. Currently, these light- ing gaps are commonly filled with additional fixtures. ams OSRAM has solved this important problem with the Oslon Square Batwing, which has a special shape of optics to enable cus- tomers to simplify their designs, likely reduce fixtures or be more efficient.

NICHIA LED Technology Presented at LICHTWOCHE München
LED manufacturer NICHIA, a specialist in highly efficient lighting, Human Centric Lighting and the imitation of natural light, will participate in the Munich Lichtwoche 2021 from 5 to 12 November with a light installation, two presentations and a discussion on the topic of UV-C. The light installation in Pflaum Park, developed in cooperation with Munich-based LED specialist feno and luminaire manufacturer Bergmeister Leuchten, consists of two street luminaires of the popular "Rosenheim" type, one equipped with a classic high-pressure sodium lamp (HPS) and one with the latest generation of Nichia high-performance LEDs of the 219F family. Interested parties can thus experience both lighting technologies in direct comparison and experience the next evolutionary stage of inner-city lighting.

Digital Sun Protection with Ultra-small Ambient Light Sensor With UVA Detection
ams OSRAM presents an ambient light sensor with proprietary UV-A light detection. Monitoring vital signs such as pulse or oxygen saturation in the blood via smartphones and smartwatches has been available for several years. The corresponding UV channel of the TSL2585 from ams OSRAM detects the amount of UV-A radiation in natural sunlight. This enables the user to be warned of excessive UV-A radiation. Thanks to its extremely compact dimensions the sensor is ideally suited for space-constrained wearable and other mobile applications.
