An optoelectronic component comprising a housing and a luminescence diode chip arranged in the housing is specified, which component emits a useful radiation. The housing has a housing material which is transmissive to the useful radiation and which is admixed with radiation-absorbing particles in a targeted manner for setting a predetermined radiant intensity or luminous intensity of the emitted useful radiation. The radiation-absorbing particles reduce the radiant intensity or the luminous intensity by a defined value in a targeted manner in order thus to set a predetermined radiant intensity or luminous intensity for the component. A method for producing an optoelectronic component of this type is additionally disclosed.
