Light in the right wavelength makes an enormous contribution to fighting viruses. UV-C light can eliminate 99.9 per cent of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in the air and in drinking water. Osram Opto Semiconductors now enables particularly small and robust disinfection applications with its LEDs, while also driving the industrialization of these special light sources forward. The Oslon UV 3636 marks the beginning of a comprehensive portfolio in the UV-C LED sector.
Oslon UV 3636, Osram’s first UV-C LED, is available in a low- and a mid-power version and features compact dimensions of 3.6 mm x 3.6 mm. With a wavelength of 275 nanometers, both versions are ideal for disinfection applications. The lowpower version achieves 4.5 milliwatts at 30 milliamperes. The mid-power version impresses with 42 milliwatts at 350 milliamperes.
“It is the first product in a series of innovations from Osram Opto Semiconductors in the UV-C range,” detailed Christian Leirer, Product Manager for UV-C at Osram Opto Semiconductors.
