Infrared LED provides near-range illumination

OSRAM OPTO Oslon Black SFH 4713A infrared LED (IRED) with a wavelength of 850 nanometers (nm) is suitable for infrared short- to mid-range lighting systems. Device supports efficient designs for near-range illumination from 10 to 50 meters. Device provides an optical output of over 1W, to the mid-range power class of approximately 760mW, available with a beam angle of 90°. Product has an optical output of 760 milliwatts at a current of 1 ampere (A). Two to five IREDs are typically adequate for achieving ranges between 10 and 50 meters.
