Lumex announces the global launch of their QuasarBriteUV family of LEDs. These UV LEDs provide 10 times longer lifespan, enhanced durability and up to 50% cost savings compared to alternative technologies.
/> The RoHS compliant QuasarBriteUV LEDs are available in 385nm, 405nm and 415nm wavelengths at 4-6mW in hermetically sealed TO-46 flat window packages.

QuasarBrite UV technology is ideal for a wide range of applications including:

● bacterial and superficial sterilization for medical device technologies in phototherapy, dental, and dermatology.

● industrial control device technology related to leak and biohazard detection.

● forensic applications related to counterfeit detection and forensic analysis of bodily fluids.

● Document security using fluorescing inks such as currency, passports.

“Despite the many benefits of UV LED technology, adoption has been limited in the past due to the fact that the materials used in the epoxy LED lens degraded the lifespan of UV LEDs to less than 5,000 hours,” explained Jeff Oliveros, Director of Engineering at Lumex. “Replacing the epoxy lenses with a robust TO-46 package with glass lens, QuasarBrite UV LEDs now last at least ten times longer, providing a lifespan of more than 50,000 hours.”
