Ushio Capitalizes on Booming Epitex LED Business with SWIR-LED.com Launch
The shift to LED technology is accelerating in fields like biometrics, machine vision, nutritional analysis, and metrology.
- (1888PressRelease) November 30, 2021 - Cypress, California - The Ushio Group (Head Office: Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Naito; subsequently referred to as Ushio) has launched a new international website for the sale of Epitex short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) LEDs. Following a prolonged spike in single- and multi-chip SWIR LED enquiries, Ushio elected to build a platform dedicated to the technology. SWIR-LED.com officially went live in November.
“People wanted an easy-to-use, one-stop-shop for standard- or high-power LEDs and photodetectors, in the 1,050 to 1,750 nanometers (nm) band. As engineers move away from older SWIR technologies, like halogen lamps, the shift to LED is accelerating in fields like biometrics, machine vision, nutritional analysis, and metrology”, said Ushio’s EMEA Sales Director SSL, Ardan Fuessmann.
Ardan continues, “It made sense to set up a dedicated resource for customers who want to focus purely on SWIR LED technology. People want the headspace to consider their options, and ultimately, this site encourages them to take control of their search. From our side, we stand by to provide the design flexibility and technical advice that our customers associate with Ushio’s wider 365 nm to 1,750 nm LED portfolio.”
SWIR-LED.com quickly gets those familiar with LEDs to the data they need, while offering a gentle introduction for newcomers to the technology. The datasheet library offers an opportunity to browse more than 300 standard package combinations. Those seeking the knowledge of an established manufacturer can visit various application profiles, or find out how SWIR LED technology compares to traditional halogen lamps, in the educational Learning Zone.
A stand-out feature is the SWIR LED Builder functionality, which allows users to consider pre-existing SMD and through-hole LEDs, or send a customization request directly to Ushio’s Sales team. Customizable features include a variety of lenses, wavelengths, package types, and optical output power. If a customer cannot find their ideal solution in the extensive Epitex LED library, Ushio’s engineers will work with them to develop a bespoke solution.
Ushio Epitex’s SWIR LED product enquiries are submitted through SWIR-LED.com/contact/.
