Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. (SETI) has shifted the power of UV LEDs operating in the germicidal wavelength range from 30 mW up to 100 mW.
At present, this level of single chip performance is not yet available in SETI's production LEDs, high power UV LED lamps are available under the UVCLEAN® trademark with germicidal powers up to 50 mW.
SETI demonstrated disinfection in an "on demand" drinking water system using 30mW LED lamps . As Remis Gaska, President and CEO of SETI noted, "High power UV LEDs are essential to achieve the level of disinfection required in point-of-use and point-of-entry water treatment systems. This ongoing development of large area high power UV LEDs will help to reduce the price per milliwatt and allow UV LEDs to enter cost sensitive disinfection markets."
It's reported that SETI will be presenting all the latest data on its high power single chip LEDs at the International Workshop on Nitrides (IWN) in Tampa, Florida, USA on September 19th – 24th.
