UV Curing Lamps – Industries’ Preferred Choice





As global leaders, LightSources and European partner, LightTech, design and manufacture high-tech UV curing lamps that are quickly becoming the preferred choice for many industries.  UV curing lamps are a cost-effective alternative to heat-cured inks and are easy to operate and maintain. They are used to cure UV-light activated inks, bonds, adhesives and finishes such as lacquers, glazes and varnishes.  LightSources and LightTech lamps are manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities and are constructed from the highest quality materials.

The three primary types of UV curinglamps we manufacture are high pressure UV (HPUV), medium pressure UV (MPUV) and amalgam lamps.  As a customer, you will have a selection of standard as well as customized lamps, and we will assist you with designing a system that meets your curing application requirements.  In addition since LightSources’ lamps are compact in design, it makes retrofitting easy.  Also our curing lamps are not only energy-efficient but are long-lasting as well.   

In a UV curing lamp, the ultraviolet light creates an invisible electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength shorter than visible light, but longer than x-rays.  With a wavelength range of 10 nanometers (nm) to 400nm, the UV light is emitted by electric arcs and used for actinic purposes such as to produce chemical reactions.  When the proper intensity of UV light is used, a chemical reaction occurs that produces a byproduct that hardens the resin.  While this technology is most commonly used for curing or drying chemical compounds, inks and coatings, it is also recently being used to inactivate microorganisms (bacteria).

UV curing lamps are used in many different industries such as automotive, industrial, electrical, medical and optical.  Please see our website to learn more about how this innovative technology may be helpful to your business.    

LightSources and our affiliated companies represent the leading high-tech designers and manufacturers in the lamp industry today.  Our products are used world-wide in a multitude of applications and industries such as our UV germicidal lamps that offer patent-protected, OEM-oriented solutions.  Please contact us to learn more about our extensive selection of lamps.
