Learn More about our Proprietary Specialty Coating

LongLife+™ is another example of one of LightSources and LightTech’s innovative technologies that has set us apart from our competitors.  The proprietary LongLife+ is a specialty coating that we can apply to any of our germicidal lamp products, which works to eliminate the accelerated depreciation that is often associated with higher intensity lamps.

This advanced technology consists of a chemical compound applied to the inside of a lamp that makes it last longer as well as run more efficiently.  Laboratory tests indicate that the lifespan of a lamp coated with our proprietary LongLife+ lasts up to 16,000 hours; however, the actual performance of a lamp will depend on the operating conditions.  To offer a comparison, a typical germicidal lamp has a lifespan of about 9,000 hours. 

LightSources and LightTech customers benefit from the fact that the additional operational hours mean that germicidal lamps coated with our proprietary compound are a good investment.  Lamps need to be replaced less often as well as provide an improved end-of-life performance.  Our LongLife+ treated lamps maintain up to 80% of their output right up to the end of their 16,000-hour lifespan. 

Furthermore, the LongLife+ technology is right in line with our philosophy of supporting environmentally friendly practices.  With an extended lifespan, LongLife+ treated lamps reduce waste and help to protect our natural resources.   In addition our standard lamps contain less mercury (5mg Hg), and less than 10mg HG on our quality amalgam lamps.  As a comparison, typical amalgam lamps on the market contain more than 30+ mg Hg.   We encourage you to visit our website or contact us for more information regarding our leading-edge, specialty technologies.
