Abstract

The invention relates to a body irradiating device, in particular for irradiating a body of a person or a part of a body of a person, in particular with cosmetically and hygienically useful radiation, comprising a radiation source with a base and at least one first LED chip which can emit a first radiation spectrum with a first radiation peak and at least one second LED chip which can emit a second radiation spectrum with a second radiation peak differing from the first radiation peak. A body irradiating device allowing the radiation spectrum of more than one LED chip to be combined and uniformly supplied to the human body is achieved in that the first LED chip and the second LED chip are arranged below a common lens in an LED package and can be controlled separately.
