Hi,
Searching in ali I ran into this seller of UV curing modules for 3D printers. The LEDs here look different from ones in 100W LED I used to play with earlier.
In description/specs stands efficiency 96% and working temp 26.7-30ºC..."very low heat generating" (250W unit!)
What could it mean? From laser diodes I know that only IR and reds can reach 50-60% efficiency if kept well under room temperature.
And blue-violet ones (GaN) usually have 25% efficiency and can work at much higher temperatures without issues.
Is it a new type of light emitting material here or just cheating numbers?
