Press release submitted on behalf of Boston Electronics.

Boston Electronics, Brookline, Massachusetts, offers the VioBeam-1X1 from Violumas, a compact, high-power ultraviolet (UV) LED module designed to direct light onto a small, targeted area. Its narrow, 10-degree beam helps deliver more usable UV light where it is needed, even as the distance between the light source and the target increases.

Unlike LEDs that spread light over a wide area, the VioBeam-1X1 uses a built-in lens to gather and redirect the light into a concentrated beam. The effect is similar to the difference between a floodlight and a spotlight: Rather than illuminating a broad area, the module directs more of its output toward a specific target. This approach can help equipment designers achieve the required light intensity with fewer LEDs in some applications.boselec

The module combines a high-performance LED with a fused silica lens, a material suited to transmitting UV light and resisting UV-related degradation. The lens uses total internal reflection to create the narrow beam.

For manufacturers, a potential use includes spot curing. Other applications include scientific instruments that use light to analyze materials, fluorescence testing and directing light into optical fibers. Models with suitable wavelengths also can be incorporated into systems designed to disinfect air, water or surfaces.

The VioBeam-1X1 is available in wavelength options ranging from 255 to 405 nanometers, allowing users to select a model suited to their process. Built-in electrical connectors eliminate the need for soldering, simplifying wiring for testing and integration. Optional application sets pair the module with a compatible heat sink to remove heat and an LED driver to supply the appropriate electrical power.

By concentrating light rather than allowing it to spread widely, the VioBeam-1X1 gives equipment designers a compact option for applications where precise UV delivery matters.
