Q: UV LED vs UV lamp disinfection: Which is better?

Traditional mercury lamps offer high power and low cost but contain mercury, require warm-up time, have short lifespans, and are fragile. UV LEDs are mercury-free, start instantly, have long lifespans (10,000–50,000 hours), small size, shock resistance, and are more environmentally friendly and safe. LEDs are expected to replace mercury lamps in the future.

Q: What are UV sterilizers used for?

UV sterilizers are used to inactivate microorganisms in water, air, and on surfaces without chemical residues. They are suitable for drinking water, air purification, medical devices, food processing, and other scenarios, providing physical and eco-friendly disinfection.
