LEDs are increasingly replacing mercury vapor lamps in disinfection applications. They have a much wider range of applications than conventional technology. While the lamps only develop their disinfecting effect in a very narrow wavelength range, UVC LEDs cover a broader spectrum. Added to this is the form factor: even larger LED arrays are often more space-saving and easier to install than lamps.
Accordingly, applications for UVC LEDs are currently among the most innovative and fastest-growing future markets.
