Understanding UVC LED Lifespan: How We Test for Reliability
The biggest question in UV technology is: "How long will it actually last?" While visible LEDs last 50,000 hours, the harsh nature of UVC radiation makes the requirements stricter.
LM-80 and Aging Tests
At U-Vcare, our customized UV LED modules undergo rigorous aging tests. We measure the "L70" life—the point at which the UV output drops to 70% of its original intensity.
Material Science
UVC light degrades standard plastics and adhesives. That’s why we use:
-
Quartz Glass Lenses: Which don't yellow or solarize over time.
-
Inorganic Packaging: To prevent internal degradation of the LED chip.
When you choose a custom solution from us, you get a data-backed lifespan projection you can pass on to your customers. Verify our quality standards.
