Nichia Optisolis LEDs: Revolutionizing Lighting in Museums and Galleries with Sunlight-like Illumination

Nichia Optisolis LEDs light art museums across Germany and Japan

The innovative Optisolis LEDs from Nichia have a light spectrum that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight.

The extraordinary result is achieved by using a revolutionary new phosphor technology and special blue LED chip. The spectrum of the 420nm blue chip contains almost no UV emissions and in combination with the phosphor achieves a CRI value of 98+, an ultrahigh number considering sunlight has CRI 100.

The Nichia Optisolis LEDs high quality of light renders colors accurately and adds the benefit of increased awareness of contrast and texture. In combination with their very low UV emissions, Optisolis light fixtures and LED strips are particularly suitable for use in museums and art galleries where the highest possible CRI value is preferred without damaging the valuable works of art with UV rays.

Many museums in Germany have implemented the Nichia Optisolis lighting, among them: Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen, the Ludwig Museum in Koblenz and the Picasso Museum in Münster.
