LED275W In Stock

The LED275W by ThorLabs is a powerful light-emitting diode (LED) that is perfect for use in experimental setups that require a compact, energy-efficient light source. With a nominal wavelength of 280 nm, the LED275W is encased in a durable Ø9 mm package with a UV glass window that ensures maximum protection and longevity. Equipped with parabolic retroreflectors, the LED's output divergence angle is significantly reduced, allowing for optimal light emission and focus. Additionally, this LED has a single-color center wavelength of 275 nm.

It's important to note that handling an LED of this caliber requires the highest level of compliance with maximum electrical specifications. The LED275W is particularly sensitive to voltage that exceeds its absolute maximum ratings. Any voltage applied in excess of the maximum specification will cause damage and possible complete failure to the product. Therefore, it's crucial to use proper handling procedures that prevent any electrostatic discharges or voltage surges during use. During operation, the LED275W emits high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) light, which can be harmful to skin and eyes. As such, precautions must be taken to avoid direct exposure to UV light. It's recommended to wear protective glasses that are specifically designed for UV light exposure. Additionally, it's important to avoid looking directly at the front of the LED or at the LED's lens when the LED275W is operational.
