Abstract (en)

An anti-fouling unit (1) is configured to be arranged on a surface and comprises at least one electric circuit (30) including a light-emitting arrangement (31) configured to emit anti-fouling light. Further, the anti-fouling unit (1) comprises a carrier slab (40) carrying the at least one electric circuit (30), which carrier slab (40) includes at least one active slab zone (42) where the at least one electric circuit (30) is located and at least one passive slab zone (43) outside the active slab zone (42) that is configured to allow a division of the anti-fouling unit (1) in separate pieces without deteriorating the anti-fouling functionality, and the light-emitting arrangement (31) of the at least one electric circuit (30) is configured to realize the anti-fouling functionality both at a position of the at least one active slab zone (42) and at a position of the at least one passive slab zone (43).
