Abstract: A programmable photo power source includes a light emitting assembly containing at least two irradiation panels foldable to each other and each comprised of multiple surface-mounted LEDs; a base to secure the assembly; and a control panel to control operation time, hours and current of each surface-mounted LED to produce better irradiation results with preset wavelength programmable through the control panel.

Abstract: A detector and method for detecting intensity of ultraviolet (UV) rays are disclosed. The detector has a plurality of UV photo-diodes for detecting intensities of UV rays within different wave bands, an A/D converter for converting analog output signals of the UV photo-diodes into corresponding digital signals, and a micro-controller for controlling operations of the detector. Each of the wave bands overlaps at least one of the other wave bands. The micro-controller calculates the intensity of each overlapped wave band according to the digital signals.
