New 35W Powerball HCI Lamps from OSRAM Set the Standards in Shop Lighting

OSRAM Powerball HCI-T and HCI-TC Shoplights, which are now available as 35W lamps too, are especially effective thanks to their colour rendering index of up to 95 (1A) and excellent red rendering at high luminous flux. The 35W halogen metal halide lamps with Powerball technology can therefore be used wherever perfect colour recognition is required.

Researchers Develop Way to Make Lettuce Darker and Redder using Ultraviolet LEDs

Salad dressing aside, a pile of spinach has more nutritional value than a wedge of iceberg lettuce. That's because darker colors in leafy vegetables are often signs of antioxidants that are thought to have a variety of health benefits. Now a team of plant physiologists has developed a way to make lettuce darker and redder - and therefore healthier - using ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
