UVC LED emitters have found important scope in the disinfection of bacteria and viruses. With this work we report on the reliability of commercial UVC LEDs with different wavelengths as a function of the driving current and the effect of lifetime on the system design. The reliability of commercial UVC LEDs by means of electrical, optical and spectral resolved measurements has been evaluated in our work. We then carried out stress tests at increasing driving current in order to define the acceleration effect of the current on the device reliability. By defining a current dependent degradation model, we identified the optimal operating condition to balance the number of disinfection cycles and their duration.
