“UV Power” Research Project Is Working on LED-Replacements for Conventional UV Light Sources

Since February 2017, a total of five research institutes and companies have been working on “UV Power”, a collaborative project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The partners have made it their goal to provide high-power UV LEDs to cover a wide variety of applications. These LEDs will eventually replace conventional UV light sources, which often contain toxic mercury, in areas such as production, disinfection, the environment, life sciences and medicine. UV LEDs are also likely to open up new areas of application. Read more »

Horticulture LEDs to Boost Vertical Farming Efficiency

Horticulture LEDs to Boost Vertical Farming Efficiency With the growing world population and global warming, arable land and fresh water are becoming increasingly scarce {C1}. Many new approaches will be needed in agriculture. One of these is Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA). Würth Elektronik offers Horticulture LEDs and promotes the use of plant- and growth-specific light recipes. Engineers at the company have thought about how the control of a CEA could be realized as an IoT application. Read more »
