UV LED has gone through 24 years since its invention. With the help of semiconductor light-emitting technology, UV LED is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, compact, and has a longer life, lower energy consumption and higher reliability than mercury lamps. The most important thing is that under the promotion of international conventions, traditional mercury lamps have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and the above-mentioned technical advantages of UV LEDs are gradually replacing mercury lamps in different application scenarios.
