UVC Single-Chip LEDs with 30 mW of Optical Output Power

LG Innotek has done it: Instead of the standard 10 mW of optical output power which has been available to date, UVC LEDs now achieve an optical output power of 30 mW from a single chip. This makes them powerful and thus well suited for many application fields.

The 278 nm UVC LEDs are used in UV drying and curing in the printing industry, as well as in the disinfection and purification of water, air, surfaces, or analytical devices. The higher the output power, the more strongly they will push conventional UV sources from the market because the advantages of UV LEDs are manifold:

LEDs are compact and, therefore, fit almost anywhere. They have a narrow bandwidth and are available immediately without warm-up. This facilitates easy operation.

Product Features

• Robust SMD housing: 6.0 x 6.0 mm²
• Forward voltage: a maximum of 7.5 V
• Current: 350 mA
• High lifetime

Development continues at LG Innotek at a rapid pace; next year will see more innovations. Currently, an optical output power of 30 mW is phenomenal.
