LED Flood Light Buying Guide 2026 - GEN5 vs High Mast vs Modular

Choosing the wrong LED flood light for your project means over-spending on unnecessary wattage, failing to meet lux standards, or facing sky-high maintenance costs three years in. This complete buying guide compares Haichang Optotech’s three core LED flood light series — the smart GEN5, the high-power High Mast, and the field-serviceable Modular — so procurement managers, electrical contractors, and facility owners […]

LED High Bay Light Complete Guide 2025: UFO vs Modular — Specs, Selection & Energy Savings

LED High Bay Light Complete Guide 2025: UFO vs Modular — Specs, Selection & Energy Savings - Haichang Optotech

A warehouse running twenty 400-watt metal halide fixtures at 18 hours per day spends over $7,200 per year on lighting electricity alone — before accounting for relamping labour or production downtime every time a lamp fails. And yet many facilities still treat lighting as an afterthought, selecting the wrong fixture type for their ceiling height […]

Nitride Semis Verifies Effect Of UVC Light On Coronavirus

Nitride Semis Verifies Effect Of UVC Light On Coronovirus 275nm UVC light has an inactivating effect equal to or greater than 245nm light sources

Japanese UV-LED company Nitride Semiconductors has verified the inactivating effect on OC43 coronavirus (pseudo SARS-CoV-2) using three different wavelengths in the deep ultraviolet region, wavelengths 222nm, 254nm, and 275nm in collaboration with the National Hospital Organisation Sendai Medical Center Clinical Research Department Virus Center (Director Shuichi Nishimura). The Nitride team confirmed that the deep ultraviolet […]

Reducing The Operating Voltage Of Tunnel-junction Deep UV LEDs

Reducing The Operating Voltage Of Tunnel-junction Deep UV LEDs

A Japanese collaboration is claiming to have broken new ground for reducing the operating voltage of tunnel-junction deep-UV LEDs. Success has come from suppressing the incorporation of carbon contaminants in an n-type AlGaN layer that is then doped with a high concentration of silicon. The lower operating voltage promises to increase the optical efficiency of […]

What is the real Human Centric Health Lighting

What is the real Human Centric Health Lighting

Human Centric Lighting, the literal translation is human-centered lighting, people-specific lighting, translators are too talented because of lighting, if it is because of human lighting, it looks very lame, and Human Centric Lighting looks very compelling. Human-caused lighting refers to the application of lighting technology to perfectly integrate light and space, allowing people to obtain […]

3 Things You Must Know about Office Lighting Design

3 Things You Must Know about Office Lighting Design

When decorating an office, many companies often pay attention to the design effect of the office, cost, corporate culture integration, etc., but seldom pay attention to the lighting design, but in fact, the office is a place where employees spend eight hours a day after all. The design effect will also affect work efficiency. If […]

Studay shows Far-UVC light (222 nm) efficiently and safely inactivates airborne human coronaviruses

Studay shows Far-UVC light (222 nm) efficiently and safely inactivates airborne human coronaviruses

Abstract A direct approach to limit airborne viral transmissions is to inactivate them within a short time of their production. Germicidal ultraviolet light, typically at 254 nm, is effective in this context but, used directly, can be a health hazard to skin and eyes. By contrast, far-UVC light (207–222 nm) efficiently kills pathogens potentially without harm to […]

New York MTA is Using UV Light Devices to Kill Coronavirus in Subways

During outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in New York ,a worker wipes down surfaces as the MTA Subway closed overnight for cleaning and disinfecting

From next week, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will use ultraviolet light to help remove Covid-19 from its subways, buses and commuter trains as the technology has shown to eradicate the virus from surfaces. In a report by The Sun, scientists from Columbia University and officials of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced on Tuesday, […]
