Learn More about our European Glassworks



LightSources and our European partner are the world’s top designers, engineers and manufacturers of innovative, high-tech lighting solutions.  One reason we are able to offer our customers the flexibility of short runs and quick turnaround times is we own and operate one of the most advanced glassworks in Europe.  Located in Dunakeszi, Hungary, our state-of-the-art facility opened in 2001 and provides us the ability to manufacture open, closed, FS and germicidal glass.  Our proprietary SolGlass® is also manufactured here. 

Our customers have come to know they can rely on us.  Our abundant resources allow us to not only control the whole process involved in manufacturing the four major glass types used in most lamps, but to efficiently supply the products our clients need, when they need them.  Within our twenty-acre facility, we have internal chemistry and phosphor capabilities that offer clients a range of proprietary and fully customized lighting solutions.

The germicidal soft glass we produce is our most open glass and allows for the highest UV transmission (91%).  It is used in a number of applications to treat and sterilize air, water, and surfaces from bacteria, viruses and pathogens. 

Our open glass is commonly used in tanning applications in North America. At 297nm, it offers approximately a 35% transmission and allows a balanced ratio of UV-A and B light to pass through the glass.  LightTech’s closed glass is the most popular choice of the European tanning industry.  It emits more UVA, while at the same time, offers the least amount of UVB energy. 

The FS Glass produced at the Dunakeszi facility is used for dermatological purposes to treat specific skin conditions.  The properties of FS glass are right between open and closed glass and use a very narrow band phosphor for pure UV-B lamps.

Another type of glass exclusively produced at our facility is SolGlass®.  This proprietary glass offers the most significant innovation in tanning since the sun and is based on the combination of new glass technology and a proprietary phosphor blend.  SolGlass® is a prime example and result of the combined research and development efforts of both our North American and European operations.  See our website to learn about LightSources and LightTech glass. 

LightSources and our affiliated companies are 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 and offer patent-protected, OEM-oriented solutions.  Please contact us to learn more our innovative and cost-effective line of specialty lighting.
