UK-based LED specialist Intelligent LED Solutions (ILS) - a division of display and optoelectronics provider Intelligent Group Solutions Ltd (IGS) - has launched a range of high-power UV LEDs suited to demanding industrial applications such as polymer curing, ink curing, counterfeit detection, aquarium lighting, medical and DNA sequencing.
The UV power LED has been designed to have higher thermal endurance (ensuring better reliability at higher temperatures) and comes in a range of output powers, package formats and wavelength options (ranging from 365nm to 420nm). Radiometric power ranges from 320 to 7000mW.
The high-power UV LEDs feature a vertical chip structure on a patented metal alloy substrate, offering advances in optical output and high thermal conductivity.
"UV LED technology is playing an increasing role in industrial design," says ILS director Adrian Amor. "The high-power LED offers a more efficient and more robust solution for engineers working to develop demanding applications that require a UV light source," he adds.
"For those exploring UV LED technology for the first time, our team at ILS is able to provide design support and prototyping within the European market place," continues Amor. "We also have the capability to deliver production LEDs and assemblies to wherever in the world that the customer's manufacturing or assembly is being undertaken."
For those wishing to evaluate and prototype with the new high-power UV LED range, star boards with wires, strips and component LEDs will be available through RS Components.
