What are the Differences Between UVC-LED Disinfection and Ultraviolet Mercury Lamps?

The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused people to attach great importance to daily sterilization and disinfection. This has made ultraviolet disinfection and disinfection a very popular topic recently, and many people have purchased ultraviolet disinfection equipment. The common UV disinfection is nothing more than UVC-LED disinfection and ultraviolet mercury lamp disinfection. Today, UVC LED Handheld Sterilizer Supplier will take you to understand the difference between UVC-LED disinfection kit and ultraviolet mercury lamp disinfection.

UVC LED Handheld Sterilizer

Deep ultraviolet UVC-LED disinfection package and ultraviolet mercury lamp disinfection are different manifestations of ultraviolet disinfection and disinfection. The differences between the two are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Different luminous media

The luminous medium of the deep ultraviolet UVC-LED disinfection package is LED lamp beads, and the ultraviolet lamp uses the ultraviolet light emitted by the mercury lamp to achieve the sterilization and disinfection function.

2. Different environmental protection

Ultraviolet mercury lamps are mercury lamps. Mercury is highly toxic. Once the mercury lamp breaks and the mercury leaks, it will have serious harm to the human body and the environment. The LED lamp beads used in the UVC-LED disinfection package have the advantages of low power consumption, fast start-up, long life, small size, and good sterilization and disinfection effects. The key UVC-LED will not produce secondary pollution during use and has environmental protection performance. Therefore, UVC-LED is being favored by more consumers. UVC-LED disinfection is a rare new sterilization method to replace traditional ultraviolet mercury lamps.

3. The time required for disinfection and sterilization is different

The high-power lamp beads equipped with the UVC-LED sterilization and disinfection package, in a small confined space, the killing time is generally from ten seconds to three to five minutes, which can eliminate a variety of common pathogens. Moreover, due to UVC-LED The lamp bead is small in size, and the disinfection bag has low requirements for the adaptability of the power cord. The ordinary power bank can be turned on, and it can be used outdoors or on business trips. It has high daily portability. The sterilization time required for the ultraviolet mercury lamp is generally more than ten minutes to half an hour to achieve a good sterilization effect. However, the mercury lamp generates ozone due to its high pressure, consumes a large amount of electricity, has a long sterilization time, and the equipment is bulky, etc. The reason, which limits the scope of daily use, will eventually be eliminated by history.
