ProPhotonix Limited, a designer and manufacturer of LED lighting systems and laser diode modules, announced the launch of 222nm COBRA Clean FX1. Lamps based on far uvc 222nm lamp can provide rapid development of disinfection solutions. UVC is an effective method for disinfecting water, air and surfaces, and has been proven effective against pathogens such as Escherichia coli, non-toxic Listeria and COVID-19 (1,2).
ProPhotonix launches far uvc 222nm lamp solution
COBRA Clean FX1 is a patented, compact, fan-cooled UVC LED lamp with a stackable shape that can produce a uniform line. The peak irradiance at 222nm is 55 mW/c㎡ and the peak energy density ( Dose) is 65 mJ/c㎡. COBRA Clean FX1 can be equipped with a variety of optical and electrical options. Compared with traditional UV lamps, LED lighting has significant advantages, including design flexibility, longer luminaire life, high light output stability, precise control, thermal management, no ozone and no heavy metals. The lamp has independently passed CE and UL certification.
ProPhotonix won the REWATERGY H2020 European Research Fund in November 2018, which focuses on water treatment and promotes the development of ProPhotonix UVC LED products. With the release of COBRA Clean FX1, the company is actively seeking partners to further commercialize the technology.
Commenting on the release of COBRA Clean FX1, Tim Losik, CEO and President of ProPhotonix, said: “Since the adoption of the Minamata Convention in 2013, people have become increasingly inclined to To replace mercury lamps with ultraviolet light sources. This product aims to deliver reliable far uvc 222nm lamp lamps to innovators to help accelerate the adoption of far uvc 222nm lamp lamps in the market. With the development of this product line, we intend to Users introduce more exciting shapes and functions."
Commercial and technical manager Dr. Ken Reynolds also said: "ProPhotonix's UVC lamp research began a few years ago, and its purpose is to neutralize pathogens on a commercial scale. We are now working with partners to find partners to collaborate on design, development and Manufacture new products based on far uvc 222nm lamp for market adoption."
