Light in Medicine

Is used that light for medical purposes, is not new. The use of infrared light has been established as well as about the various medical fields using laser beams. With the steady progress in the development of LED lights, the revolutionary technology is also in modern medicine inexorably on the rise. Particularly, the therapeutic use of blue LED light for pain relief shows great potential.

The starting point for intense research around blue LED light was the discovery of the vasodilator effect of the molecule nitric oxide (NO), which even earned the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998th So NO causes dilation of the blood vessels and hence increases blood flow. In the course of further research with NO showed that by irradiation with blue LED light of a specific wavelength, exactly 453 nanometers, the skin, the body’s production of nitric oxide and thus the vasodilatation. Is excited Thanks to this operation, pain-causing substances can be removed more easily from the tissue oxygen and nutrients contrast, move more quickly to the muscle. This can relax in a row and the pain is combated effectively.

Also in other sectors, which has LED technology proven. Especially in the medical projects can be realized with the help of LED lights, which would otherwise be much more complicated and therefore more costly. LEDs outdo other light sources because they can be directly attached by their compactness where the light is actually needed. In addition, their operating temperature in comparison is relatively low, which is particularly advantageous when space is limited.

Light in the Communication
Find not only in medicine, also in the communication LED bulbs due to the continuous development increasingly more applications. Light is no longer just a means to darkness. The intensive exploration of the potentials of LED technology at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications in Berlin will soon the everyday use wireless transmission of data using light signals make possible. Already in the near future Internet connections could…
Light in Nature
Light influences the lives of plants and animals as well as that of humans. One thing is certain: Without light there is no life. In order to still be able to live and survive, nature has developed some fascinating tricks. Plants could not live without sunlight, as it stored in the solar radiation energy for photosynthesis need. The rhythm of life of most animals is also strongly…
Light in the City
The new EU guidelines on the use of bulbs and for increased energy savings make the issue of lighting of public spaces in major metropolitan areas more relevant than ever. To this the fact that many cities, towns and municipalities are strapped for cash, not least because of the economic crisis. Saving is therefore called for. At the same time light is amplified for the city marketing…
Light in the Classroom
Light is the key to visual perception and feelings surrounding the man. When learning good light plays a central role in ensuring that learners can record the information optimally. In many educational institutions the lighting systems are deprecated. Investments in better light by LED technology would not only increase the quality of light, but also lead to high energy savings. Learning hard to physically and psychologically. Therefore,…
Light in Art
Without light there is no color. And without color there is no art. The light and the art are therefore inextricably interlinked. In addition, artificial lighting for art is becoming increasingly important. Advances in LED technology, we are now thousands of LEDs at the same time individually to control and shine in a variety of shades. Thus, LED lights have also been introduced in the art. For…
