With its investment in the California-based UV-C LED specialist Bolb Inc., Osram is further expanding its technological know-how of disinfection applications with UV-C light. The future cooperation between the two companies in the field of research will accelerate the industrialization of highly efficient and high-performance UV-C LEDs.

US-based commercial lighting manufacturer Regency Lighting has published a comprehensive guide with information about ultraviolet (UV) lights used for disinfection. The guide includes the efficiency of UV lights, dose requirements, advantages and disadvantages, product types and application examples.

The ambitions of the lighting industry to be a major supplier of UVC products was given a boost today as 239 scientists declared that airborne transmission of the coronavirus is much more significant than previously thought. The scientists suggest that emphasis should move from surfaces to indoor air as the...

UVC (Ultraviolet C) is an extremely effective technology in inactivating harmful microorganisms. UVC technology makes disinfection easy and inexpensive. However, there are some limitations in its use.

For the first time, researchers have created light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on lightweight flexible metal foil. Engineers at Ohio State University are developing the foil based LEDs for portable ultraviolet (UV) lights that soldiers and others can use to purify drinking water and sterilize medical equipment.
