Lumex new three UV LED: life is prolonged by 10 times and costs by half

Lumex company announced the global expansion trend of QuasarBrite UV series LED products sales: will launch three new wavelength standard lamps; that can provide customized UV LED array.

The three lamp wavelength new 355 nm, 365 nm and 377 nm, the perforation (through-hole) cooling package; new products through the RoHS certification (that do not contain mercury and other harmful substances); life expectancy than using other technologies for the production of alternative products increased more than 10 times, the cost is reduced by more than 50%, energy consumption at the same time reduced by more than 70%, the product also has a better performance of light.

The use of a wide range of new products, including: Security (security detection of money, passports and other documents), (Forensic forensic identification when used to analyze various body fluids) and Photocatalyst (used in homes, offices and cars in the air and water purifier)

The products of Lumex company technical manager Kay Fernamdez explained: "because when the package is used as epoxy resin material UV LED lens under UV irradiation severe degeneration, so before using common technology prepared by UV LED, especially the shorter wavelength ultraviolet LED, its life expectancy is not more than 5000 hours of development the new technology enables the new UV LED TO-46 package using epoxy resin can replace the original lens with glass lens, which makes the new QuasarBrite series UV LED product life increased 10 more than the original, more than 50000 hours. "

In addition to prolong the service life greatly, compared with other techniques of UV light emitting device, such as a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs)), QuasarBrite series of UV LED can provide more uniform light beam pattern. In order to achieve the same direction of the beam, the two times of light distribution is needed for the cold cathode fluorescent lamp. Cold cathode fluorescent lamps contain toxic mercury, while the QuasarBrite series UV LED does not contain mercury, and more durable. Therefore, compared with the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, the maintenance cost of UV LED is greatly reduced. At the same time, the energy consumption of the QuasarBrite series UV LED is reduced by 70% compared with that of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp. All these advantages make the use of QuasarBrite series UV LED less than half the cost of cold cathode fluorescent lamps.

"Compared to the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, ultraviolet LED, low cost and high price makes its worldwide shipments increase sharply," Fermandez said, "Lumex is now able to provide a total of six standard wavelength ultraviolet LED (355365377385405 and 415 nm), at the same time, the company can according to the custom option almost unlimited provides various wavelength ultraviolet LED to meet the growing needs of the market.

QuasarBrite series of the latest 355 nm, 365 nm and 377 nm UV LED with a visual angle of 80 degrees, the operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to 100 degrees C. These products are now available from the spot supply. The standard cycle from order to delivery is about 18-20 weeks. QuasarBrite series UV LED pricing depends on the number of orders, each chip price of about 20 to $28. The number of chips per chip is mainly determined by the size of the chip and the number of orders.
