UVC-LEDs are rapidly replacing mercury lamps, thanks to their significant advantages in environmental protection, energy efficiency, lifespan, safety, and performance stability.
Mercury-free: Mercury lamps contain mercury, which can cause severe environmental pollution if not disposed of properly. UVC-LEDs are mercury-free, making them a green and eco-friendly light source.
No ozone generation: Mercury lamps may produce ozone during operation, which is harmful to human health. UVC-LEDs do not produce ozone, ensuring safer use.
Low power consumption: UVC-LEDs have high electrical-to-light conversion efficiency, consuming only 10–20% of the energy used by mercury lamps. This significantly reduces long-term energy costs.
Long lifespan: UVC-LEDs can last over 20,000 hours, compared to 1,000–3,000 hours for mercury lamps, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
Low-temperature operation: UVC-LEDs generate much less heat than mercury lamps, lowering the risk of overheating and preventing heat-related material deformation or performance degradation.
No high-voltage hazards: Mercury lamps require high-voltage ignition, which poses safety risks. UVC-LEDs typically operate on low-voltage DC power, ensuring safer use.
Instant start: UVC-LEDs reach full power instantly without preheating, while mercury lamps require several minutes to warm up.
Stable light output: UVC-LEDs maintain stable light output with slow attenuation, whereas mercury lamps’ output decreases over time.
Customizable wavelength: UVC-LEDs can be tailored to specific wavelengths (e.g., 365nm, 385nm, 395nm) to meet various application needs, while mercury lamps have a broader spectrum that cannot be precisely tuned.
Compact design: UVC-LEDs are small and lightweight, making them easy to integrate into different devices—ideal for space-limited environments.
High-precision curing: With uniform light spots, UVC-LEDs are suitable for high-precision curing processes, such as electronic component encapsulation and optical adhesive bonding.
Cost reduction: As UVC-LED technology matures and production scales up, costs continue to fall, improving cost-effectiveness.
Performance improvement: Light output and efficiency of UVC-LEDs are steadily improving, enabling them to meet more industrial application requirements.
