Ubuchwepheshe bokubulala amagciwane be-Ultraviolet (UV) bube yibo obuhamba phambili ekwelashweni kwamanzi nomoya eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, ngenxa yekhono labo lokunikeza ukwelashwa ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amakhemikhali ayingozi.

I-UV imele ubude be-wavelength obuwela phakathi kokukhanya okubonakalayo kanye ne-x-ray ku-spectrum ye-electromagnetic. Ububanzi be-UV bungahlukaniswa kabanzi nge-UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, kanye ne-Vacuum-UV. Ingxenye ye-UV-C imele ubude be-wavelength obuvela ku-200 nm kuya ku-280 nm, ubude be-wavelength obusetshenziswa emikhiqizweni yethu yokubulala amagciwane ye-LED.
Ama-photon e-UV-C angena emaseli futhi alimaze i-nucleic acid, okwenza angakwazi ukuzala, noma angasebenzi kahle nge-microbiologically. Le nqubo yenzeka emvelweni; ilanga likhipha imisebe ye-UV esebenza ngale ndlela.

Emazingeni okushisa aphansi, sisebenzisa ama-Light Emitting Diodes (ama-LED) ukukhiqiza amazinga aphezulu ama-photon e-UV-C. Imisebe iqondiswa kumagciwane, amabhaktheriya kanye nezinye izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane emanzini nasemoyeni, noma ezindaweni ukuze zenze lawo magciwane angabi nangozi ngemizuzwana.

Ngendlela efanayo naleyo ama-LED ashintshe ngayo imboni yokubonisa nokukhanyisa, ubuchwepheshe be-UV-C LED buhlelelwe ukuhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezintsha, ezithuthukisiwe, nezandisiwe kokubili ekuphathweni komoya namanzi. Ukuvikelwa okubili kokuvimbela, okuvikelwe ngemuva kokuhlunga manje sekuyatholakala lapho izinhlelo ezisekelwe ku-mercury zazingasetshenziswa khona ngaphambili.

Lawa ma-LED angahlanganiswa nezinhlelo ezahlukene ukwelapha amanzi, umoya, kanye nezindawo. Lezi zinhlelo zisebenza futhi nokupakishwa kwe-LED ukusabalalisa ukushisa nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwenqubo yokubulala amagciwane.
