UVvalgustõhusus
UVvalgustõhusus refers to the efficiency with which a light source, particularly one emitting ultraviolet (UV) radiation, converts electrical energy into useful UV light. It is typically measured in watts of UV output per watt of electrical power consumed. A higher UVvalgustõhusus indicates that more of the supplied electrical energy is being transformed into UV light, leading to less wasted energy as heat or visible light.
This metric is crucial in applications where UV light is the primary functional output. For instance, in
Different types of UV light sources, such as mercury vapor lamps, LED UV emitters, and excimer lamps,
