[STOPPED] Astrolux S43 UV-C groupbuy

UPDATE
product was cancelled!




Hello my dear friends!

Banggood will offer a UV-C version of the Astrolux S43 soon!

-> small enough to EDC it and powerful enough to kill some germs ;)

At the moment the samples are at a laboratory to get proof of effectiveness
After that you can get an message or email with the deal details if you participate in the form below ;)

SPECS:

will be added as soon as they are available

please note:

powerful UV-C radiation can be harmful! (it should - or it will not do its purpose)

banggood will add information and gear for your personal protection - READ AND USE!

One can use the back side to kill the more stubborn germs?

I wonder how much this one is going to cost. As far as I have heard, UV-C emitters are considerably more expensive than UV-A emitters. This one will certainly need a big sticker or laser engraving saying "Do NOT direct the beam into your eyes". Martin, I wonder if you may want to add a nice deal for special UV-C protection glasses, too. ;-)

Some people may think they don't need to wash hands anymore when using the S43 UV-C edition. :-D

Maybe they put a "Anti-Corona" sticker on the box sayin'..."Swipe it over your hands and they're clean"

You definitely don’t need to wash them after that - impossible to wash the skin after it’s long gone :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m interested to see how this turns out, but I’m not interested in buying one.

Based on their promo emails Banggood certainly seems to be trying to cash in on pandemic fears. Are they going to market this as some sort of personal sterilisation tool?

I thought most common optics for LEDs are made from polycarbonate and don’t transmit much UV light, especially down in the UV C range.

I’m not sure I’d trust myself with a high power UV C light, and my flashlight purchases are going to be constrained for a while by the low Aussie dollar for a while anyway.

it will not have a TIR, but a special glas lens

This will be quite interesting. If you have a chance to get to know what lens they will be using that would be fantastic. This lens could also be useful for UV-A lights with 365/395nm, assumed the spectral filter characteristics will let this wavelength pass like UV-C. Moreover, the beam angle of that lens will be interesting. I would not want to use 60° or more with a UV-C light. 15° or 30° should be more useful to direct the beam to any surface you want to desinfect or penetrate.

Probably a quartz glass lens, I don’t think they would be able to avoid the floodyness of it though

I’m certainly not your typical germophobic. My motto in life is even: may the best germ win.

What I’m interested in is to know what materials can be tracked with these kind of UV lights.

As am working in aviation with shit load of sick folks running around i'd need this light to sterilize my tools and stuff i have

Don’t forget to wear proper safety gear

finally some UV-C :smiley:
I hope it’s powerful enough.
At least like those 20W UV-C lamps from Aliexpress

20W is what it pulls those produce maybe 50 - 100mw of unfiltered uvc, so if these are filtered hopefully by led, it will most likely perform better even if only 20mw

Top tier LEDs can get 45-50mW out of 4W electrical power, so 4 of those may get 150mW OTF

But I doubt they will put such expensive LEDs in it

I think I’ll have to consider my collection complete for the time being. What would be good is a Chinese seller that is based on Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) rather than USD, the fluctuations seem to be much less.

Yeah that’d be nice, plus not having to pay GST :rage:

Would this be good for making things flouresce also?

Yes

My main interest lies in the ability to detect onter minerals, not in gettinghand cancer.
Signed up though my order will depend on price and specifications.
