July 1, 2008... Osram Opto Semiconductors has taken an important step in making LED luminaire and light engine design easier. The company has made available ray data from virtually all of its LED portfolio. The data can be downloaded for free. This includes the data from its infrared LEDs. Osram explains that the ray files indicate the pattern in which light is emitted from an LED and include the coordinates of the emission point, the direction of emission, and the intensity and the wavelength. The company points out that sharing data is unprecedented in the industry. “Our customers have access to all the latest data at any time of the day or night so it is now even easier for them to plan their lighting systems, test the LEDs, and produce their lighting concepts,” said Wolfgang Lex, head of the LED Business Unit.
