Abstract (en)

In the context of anti-biofouling, a system (1) is provided that is configured to emit anti-biofouling light to a surface (21). The system (1) comprises a radiation unit (10) including at least two light-emitting areas (34, 35) which are both/all configured to emit anti-biofouling light in an activated state thereof, wherein the arrangement of the at least two light-emitting areas (34, 35) with respect to each other in the radiation unit (10) is variable. In particular, the at least two light-emitting areas (34, 35) of the radiation unit (10) may be displaceable and/or reorientable with respect to each other. Consequently, it is possible to arrange the at least two light-emitting areas (34, 35) in such a way with respect to each other that the shape/contour of a surface (21) to be subjected to an anti-biofouling action can be followed, in an accurate/close fashion if so desired.
