About LED UV-C

“On LED at 254 nm, as of now, we see that the power that comes out is still not adequate,” Chitale told LEDs. While Signify is not ruling out LED in the long run at 254 nm, its current LED disinfection products tend to be in the UV-A band. Last week, Rondolat noted that at 254 nm, “If we were using LED, it would be totally incompatible from a cost perspective and from a consumption perspective,” and explained that LED would require 50× more light sources than mercury.”
