Hi there all
I'm wondering is it possible to make a uv sterilizer out of uv leds as I have over 100 of them . (I plan on using about 10)
Luminous Intensity (typical): 510 mcd
Viewing angle: 20 degrees
Peak emission wavelength: 395 nm
Forward Voltage (typical): 3.6 V
Forward current (typical): 20 mA (maximal: 30 mA)
I will be using 12 volts as main power supply
and plan to put the leds on the bottom of my filter in some sort off watertight container but before I go any further Is there anybody out there that could tell me if this will work or not the advantage of using leds far outweights the use of a bulb as these leds have been rated out to 100 000 hrs so never have to worry about replacing a bulb also if 1 led doesn't work the others still will
Any info will be much appreciated
Cheers Martin
