Lamps - Cold Cathode Fluorescent (CCFL) and UV-Optoelectronics are specialized electronic components designed primarily for lighting and sterilization applications. CCFLs are a type of fluorescent lamp that uses electrodes without a filament, with the electric current flowing through the tube containing gases that produce light when energized. These lamps are known for their high efficiency and long life. UV-Optoelectronics, on the other hand, refers to devices that emit ultraviolet light and are commonly used in applications requiring sterilization, such as water purification and air cleaning, due to their ability to kill bacteria and viruses.
Main uses of these products include backlighting for LCD televisions and monitors, decorative lighting, and medical instrumentation, leveraging their cool operation and consistent light output. The characteristics that set these lamps apart are their durability, energy efficiency, and minimal heat production, making them suitable for sensitive applications where traditional lighting would be too intense or heat-generating. Some of the leading manufacturers in this field include Osram, GE Lighting, and Philips Lighting.
