Custom Designed Compact UV Lamps

Compact UV lamps provide many benefits for applications that require UV lighting in small spaces. Compact UVC lamps provide germicidal effectiveness, emailing powerful UV radiation with all the features of larger counterparts packed neatly into a small space. Compact UV lamps provide a wide range of possibilities to provide germicidal efficacy to surfaces, air, and water.

The LightSources group offers compact UV lamps designed and engineered with varying options such as a two-tube linear design which delivers uniform output, your choice of soft glass or quartz glass, ozone or non-ozone emitting lamps, and proprietary technologies available.

Compact UV Lamps in Soft Glass

Soft Glass compact UVC lamps deliver sterilization and disinfection effectiveness at 254nm to small spaces.  254nm is the UVC wavelength determined to provide the greatest germicidal efficacy. Soft Glass compact lamps designed by LightSources provide maximum operating efficiency and are proven to effectively kill pathogens such as bacteria, yeasts, viruses, and harmful microorganisms on surfaces, in the air and in water.

Compact UV Lamps In Quartz

Compact UVC lamps made in Quartz are available in both 185 nm ozone lamps as well as 254 nm germicidal lamps. Quartz low pressure mercury discharge lamps are designed to emit the maximum amount of UVC radiation allowing approximately 90% of UVC energy at 254nm to provide greatest germicidal effectiveness.

Compact UVC Lamps with Amalgam Technology

LightSources offers compact UVC lamps designed with our proprietary Emil gam technology, delivering outstanding UVC efficiency and exceptional value. 

The LightSources group includes the leading high-tech UV lamp designers and engineers combined with a state-of-the-art glass factory and allows for custom engineering with quick turnaround time.

Does Ultraviolet Light Reduce TOC’s?

Total Organic Carbon, TOC, refers to organic carbon compounds found in water and may include man-made compounds, natural or altered product, or synthetic material. TOCs may contain bacteria and harmful materials or pathogens that could cause damage, system failure or health consequences if not effectively removed. Identifying and measuring concentration of TOC’s and water and practicing TOC reduction methods protects consumers, the environment, and many industries.

Removal of TOCs is critical in many applications where high-purity water is important for process quality. TOC reduction is important in: 

• Pharmaceutical industry processes

• Wastewater treatment

• Food and beverage industry

• Semiconductor and microelectronics production 

The impact of TOCs such as bacteria and other organic compounds can have serious negative effects on these processes and others. 

How UV Lamps Reduce TOCs

Ultraviolet, UV, lamps have been used for more than 100 years to eliminate harmful viruses and bacteria in many disinfection applications.  UVC lamps effectively kill microorganisms on surfaces, in the air and in water. UV lamps for TOC reduction remove harmful TOCs from water sources for many applications. 

Some TOC removal lamps utilize 185 nanometer (nm) emissions to produce ozone, which is a powerful oxidizer. Ozone lamps leads to oxidation of the total organic compounds which is the chemical reaction caused by 185 nm UV lamps.  TOCs are ionized by UV lamps and are then removed by a deionization process. 

Benefits of UV Lamps for TOC Reduction

UV lamps for TOC reduction provide many benefits in addition to delivering an effective, safe and reliable method to purify water.  UV lamps which are designed to emit wavelengths in the 254 nm range are the most effective germicidal lamps, and also remove viruses, bacteria, mold and other harmful pathogens including TOCs.  UV lamps for TOC reduction provide:

• Germicidal efficacy

• Low maintenance costs

• Low operational costs

• Can be used in air, water, and surfaces indoors or outdoors

• Produce no harmful byproducts such as with chemicals
