Osram unveils its first UV-C LEDs
Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg, Germany has launched its first UV-C LED, the Oslon UV 3636, representing the beginning of a comprehensive portfolio of LEDs in the UV-C LED sector.
Irradiation with UV-C light can eliminate 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in the air and in drinking water. It causes chemical bonds in the RNA or DNA helix of pathogens to break down, so they are no longer able to multiply and are thus rendered harmless. UV-C light has been used for many years to disinfect air or water – but often with very large lamps based on conventional light technologies.
