UV LED disinfection and sterilization products have a strong breakthrough in the lighting market!
In this epidemic, in addition to the traditional UV mercury lamp manufacturer Shellett, which is still sought after by the market due to market gaps and consumption habits, the main income from the UV sterilization and disinfection virus market are the related manufacturers of various VUC LED UV disinfection lamps. Op Lighting, Foshan Lighting, as well as Sanan Optoelectronics, which can produce UVC LED deep ultraviolet chips, and LED chip manufacturer Nichia Chemical and other companies have ushered in good news, and many traditional lighting manufacturers have also begun to turn their attention to this market.
With ultraviolet germicidal lamps as its business focus, Shellett has resumed work ahead of schedule since the outbreak and has continued to expand production and sales. According to reports, at present, the orders for Shellite ultraviolet germicidal lamps continue to be sufficient. In the first quarter of this year, the revenue of ultraviolet germicidal lamps accounted for about 58%. Continue to expand production and sales efforts.
Since the outbreak, Sanan Optoelectronics has received a sharp increase in demand for UVC LED products from many customers and the government, and the company's UVC chips have been in full production. According to reports, the UVC LED deep-ultraviolet germ disinfecting system that Sanan Optoelectronics is involved in is being sought after by the international market, and is favored by airports, ports, stations and other crowded places in various countries. At present, Sanan Optoelectronics is also conducting joint experiments with relevant domestic scientific research institutions to promote UVC LED epidemic prevention and disinfection products to play a more active role in virus epidemic prevention work.
At the end of April, Signify CEO Eric Rondolat said that the company is now vigorously advancing the development and production of ultraviolet germicidal lamps, which is one of many ways to keep the business going as the pandemic continues. "We are exploring the new opportunities that this brings, on the one hand, through the production of new business opportunities such as UV-C lamps," Eric Rondolat also said that Signify intends to continue to produce specialty lamps as the main source of income after the crisis.
In early April, Mulinsen announced a partnership with Zhishan Semiconductor to jointly produce and promote deep ultraviolet intelligent sterilization and disinfection products. Moreover, the company regards deep ultraviolet packaging as an important development direction in the future. At the end of April, in order to promote the implementation of deep ultraviolet related projects, Mulinsen invested 666 million yuan to set up a wholly-owned project company Mulinsen Deep Ultraviolet Company to further develop the deep ultraviolet sterilization and disinfection market.
Recently, Erik Swenson, general manager of Nichia USA, said: "RadTech has reason to focus on deep UV disinfection, especially given the global epidemic. Similar to the rise of LED technology for general lighting. Nichia's innovative solutions the solution has led the market transformation, and the UV LED field is on the track of rapid growth."
In mid-April, the American Lighting Group announced that it was developing a new plug-and-play UV LED commercial light bulb. An alternative to traditional fluorescent lights to help fight viral pathogens like COVID-19, UV technology is used to disinfect surfaces. Paul Spivak, CEO of American Lighting Group, currently holds two patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, patent Nos. 6,828,576 and 7,229,467 for a UV LED lamp projection method and a device using UV and LED lighting technology.
Guangzhou Laidiya Lighting Co., Ltd. a subsidiary of Hongli Zhihui Group, started the development of UV LED disinfection and sterilization lamps, such as sterilization bags, sterilization cabinet lamps, etc. Strive to use the safest and most effective method to kill bacteria, block the spread of viruses, and effectively protect our health. It is reported that Laidier's UV LED disinfection and sterilization lamps use two methods of pure UVC and UVA+UVC to achieve better sterilization effect.
On May 19, Sunshine Lighting announced that it will carry out industry-university cooperation with Xiamen University, and will jointly study the deep ultraviolet sterilization and disinfection project. The cooperation project is "Research and Industrialization of Deep Ultraviolet Sterilization and Disinfection". The project will provide technical research reports on the application of ultraviolet light sterilization and disinfection, the damage and protection of human skin and eyes, and the effective dose of ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses, empirical research. Sunshine Lighting said that it hopes that through this school-enterprise cooperation with Xiamen University, it will be able to systematically master deep ultraviolet LED sterilization and disinfection technology, determine the effective radiation dose of deep ultraviolet LED to kill typical pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and develop products that meet market needs of deep UV LED products.
