Osram infrared Platinum Dragon- ideal for lighting solutions where space is an important factor: The infrared Platinum Dragon from Osram provides a high radiance from a small surface and generates an optical output of almost 1 W from a driving current of 1 A – that’s almost twice the output of the standard chips that have been used up to now. The viewing angle and radiant intensity can be varied with standard secondary optics. Preferred applications are those which require high radiance so that small optics can be used. This is important for example in pedestrian protection systems and night vision systems in vehicles. Thanks to its high radiance from a small surface the infrared Stack Dragon gives access to the next level of optical output performance and thus opens up new applications for the future.
