Power project working on LED replacements for UV light sources
A total of five research institutes and companies have been working on 'UV Power' since February 2017. This is a collaborative project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The partners have made it their goal to provide high-power UV LEDs to cover a wide variety of applications. These LEDs will eventually replace conventional UV light sources, which often contain toxic mercury, in areas such as production, ...
