ProPhotonix launches 265nm UVC LED Area Light at Photonics West
Exaktera group firm ProPhotonix Ltd of Salem, NH, USA, a designer and manufacturer of LED lights and laser diode modules for OEMs and medical equipment companies (as well as a distributor of laser diodes for Ushio, Osram, QSI, Panasonic and Sony), has released its new UVC-Pro Area Light, which is on display in booth 4040 at Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, CA, USA (25–30 January). Offering up to 35mW/cm2 of uniform light at 265nm, the solution is suitable for machine vision, fluorescence detection, and disinfection.
The new ProPhotonix UVC-Pro Area Light combines the latest in UVC technology with a scalable form factor built for flexibility. Designed as a UVC LED solution for system designers, the compact yet powerful LED light delivers what is claimed to be exceptional performance in a streamlined form factor.
Operating at 265nm, the UVC-Pro Area Light offers optimized output for critical applications, ensuring high efficiency and consistent results. Its uniform light distribution enables even illumination across surfaces, which is critical for demanding applications.
The advances in UVC LED technology are enhancing existing applications and enabling new inspections. Pharmaceutical and chemical analysis, inspection including defect detection, verification of coatings, adhesives, and other fluorescent markers, quality control, sorting, and packaging verification can all benefit from the new UVC Area Light, says the firm.
By leveraging advanced LED technology, the UVC Area Light eliminates the need for traditional mercury lamps, providing a safer, more environmentally friendly and longer-lasting alternative. The compact design is said to facilitate easy integration into systems, making it a seamless upgrade.
