Leveraging its leading expertise in chip scale packaging, Lumileds today introduced the LUXEON UV U1 LED for use in UV curing, counterfeit detection, analytical instrumentation, inspections and other UVA and Violet (380-420 nm) applications. This third generation of UV LEDs maintains the same micro package size as LUXEON Z UV, but enables a higher power density. LUXEON UV U1 also features a robust design that eliminates materials like silicone over mold, which tends to yellow and crack upon UV exposure, and the elimination of wire bonds that can lead to catastrophic connection failures. “
