SETI in the Top 5 Nominations for IET Innovation Award
The firm’s UVClean Deep UV LED lamps, which are used to promote a healthy environment and lifestyle, have been acknowledged as one of the top five innovations from almost 400 nominated products.
Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. (SETI), has been selected as a “highly commended” innovative company by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) during its 2010 Innovation Awards.
This year, the IET received a record number of almost 400 nominations for the Innovation Awards, from which SETI was shortlisted to 5 in the category of ‘Emerging Technologies’ for its development of its UVClean Deep UV LED lamps.
Based on the same technology as SETI’s leading UVTOP products, UVClean lamps have been developed to provide a reliable, compact and environmentally friendly solid-state light source for healthy lifestyle products.
Markets including water, air and surface disinfection have been identified as well as phototherapy for treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema. All of these markets require high power lamps and the standard UVClean products commercially available have powers of 1-3mW, 3-5mW, 10-15mW and 30-50mW.
UVClean lamps have already been designed into customer’s disinfection products and SETI believes that with the benefits delivered from LEDs, UVClean will become the industry standard for UV lamps in the healthy lifestyles market.
Together with a panel of judges, the IET recognize SETI’s UVClean LED lamps as one of the most innovative emerging technologies from a wide variety of engineering and technology disciplines from around the globe.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is Europe’s largest professional engineering society, sharing and advancing knowledge to promote science, engineering and technology across the world. The IET Innovation Awards celebrate the products, technologies and processes that lead the way in engineering innovation.
