New crown pneumonia epidemic brings changes in lighting industry
Since the outbreak of the new crown virus epidemic, multi-channel lighting companies have leveraged their strengths to provide epidemic areas with lamps and products required for emergency response of medical staff and disease patients, and use the light of illumination to achieve the early victory of the "epidemic". A social responsibility.
The great love spirit of the lighting company to support the front line of the epidemic is worthy of praise. However, after the epidemic, the lighting market is bound to usher in a depression. Whether participating in anti-epidemic or preparing for resumption of work, lighting companies must use suitable products to prepare for regaining market opportunities after the epidemic.
For this reason, ENELTEC analyzes the changes in the market trends of the four major types of lighting products after the epidemic, and provides a reference for the development direction of lighting companies.
UV LED disinfection lamp
UV LED lamps, also known as UV LED lamps, can be widely used in commercial lighting, light curing systems, military, plant factories, medical and other fields. Among them, UV-C type UV LED lamps are mainly used for sterilization and disinfection. Among the products supported by various lighting companies for epidemic resistance, UV LED disinfection lamps from companies such as Xin Nuofei, OSRAM, NVC Lighting, Foshan Lighting, Shellright, Landvance, and Huayi Lighting were found. I want matching lighting products.
After all, what is the principle of killing bacteria and viruses by UV LED disinfection lamps? How big is its role in killing the new crown virus?
Recently, the National Health and Medical Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine published the "Pneumonitis Diagnosis and Treatment Program for New Coronavirus Infection (Trial) Fourth Edition", which describes that the virus is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat. Among them, ultraviolet rays can destroy the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) of microbial cells, cause growth cells and / or regenerative cells to die, and achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection, especially in the 240nm-280m band. The UV is the most effective sterilization band. Therefore, it is difficult for neocrown viruses with single-stranded positive-stranded RNA to survive under ultraviolet light. It can be seen that the UV LED disinfection lamp plays an important role in the "epidemic" of the war.
According to the authentic identification of Tencent, the medical UV LED disinfection lamp has two main spectral lines: 254nm and 185nm. 254nm ultraviolet rays kill bacteria by irradiating the DNA of microorganisms. 185nm ultraviolet rays can change O2 in the air to O3 (ozone) and ozone. It has a bactericidal effect itself, and the heat converted from light energy when it is turned on is a "triple killing" for the new crown virus.
In the critical period of the current epidemic prevention and control, UV LED sterilization and disinfection technology has begun to be widely used in crowded areas around the world. In order to suppress the international spread of the new crown virus, Los Angeles International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York have enabled the UVC sterilization robots from Dimer UVC Innovations of the United States to fully sterilize the interior cabins of all incoming and outgoing aircraft. The gallium nitride (GaN) UV LED technology used in the core light source of the robot is one of the latest technologies for UV LED sterilization and disinfection.
Before the outbreak, UV LED disinfection lamps were far less important in the lighting industry than various commonly used lighting products. With the popularization of LED technology, although UV LED disinfection lamps gradually entered the medical and other related application fields in the first half of the 2010s, they have not been promoted on a large scale due to specific areas of use. UV LED disinfection lamp manufacturers such as Xin Nuofei, Panasonic, Foshan Lighting, etc., do not market their mainstream products in this category.
Fortunately, the major scientific research institutions and enterprises around the world have not stopped the pace of UV LED light disinfection technology innovation. In the past year, researchers from Germany, South Korea, Hong Kong, China and other parts of the world have devoted themselves to the innovation of UV LED light sterilization and anti-virus technology, and companies such as LG Innotek and Ronda Electronics have successively introduced UV LED light with innovative functions. Bactericidal anti-virus products maintain the weak market heat of this light application technology. The introduction of UV LED flood light from Larson Electronics in the United States has made the industry see the market prospect of integrated installation and use of UV LED disinfection lamps and functional lighting.
With the emergence of the new crown virus epidemic, all sectors of society have fully realized the importance of disinfection lamps. The market demand for this type of product will inevitably increase in the short term as the public's awareness of anti-epidemic increases, and it will become an important direction for domestic lighting companies to revive market returns after the epidemic.
