We have two UV LEDs at a wavelength of 280 nm, both of which are based on InAIGaN light diodes.
The wavelengths in the UVC range are produced from an alloy of gallium nitride and aluminum nitride. The efficiency is still just a few percentage points and the output power in the milliwatt range; however, it will not be long before the output power is increased and an alternative to mercury vapor lamps arises.
UV LEDs do not need to warm up, have a long lifespan, and are light and compact. Thus, they are perfectly suited for effective use in remote and off-grid sterilization systems, such as, for example, airplanes. Due to direct current operation, a solar installation can also be used as the power supply.
