Custom Bases and Sockets for Germicidal Lamps

Customizing lamp bases and sockets allows lamp manufacturers like LightSources greater flexibility to design and engineer lighting solutions with added value. Customizing bases can include matching specific colors for your brand or logo, with endless possibilities to conform all your UV lamps to your corporate identity guidelines. Customized base configurations improve your brand identity and/or sales potential with exclusive, proprietary lamp solutions just for you.

UVC germicidal lamps are typically supplied with ceramic bases as this is the best material to withstand the intense ultraviolet radiation or ozone produced by germicidal lamps. Ceramic bases provide additional resistance to moisture and heat and give germicidal lamps long-lasting, high-quality performance. 

Custom Compact Lamps Meet Your System Needs

Other materials are also available for custom lamp bases such as a metal/ceramic hybrid or even plastic. LightSources can customize lead wire configurations, pin locations, steps and contours. We offer complete design assistance with 3D model CAD capability and partner with you to design, engineer, and prototype germicidal lamps that meet your unique specifications. We help OEMs to design lamps that fit their system, rather than designing a system around existing lamp types.

Our lighting engineers possess in-depth, deep technical knowledge of lamp design, fluorescent and UVC radiation expertise. We offer proprietary technology developed from our innovative drive to continue to offer first to market lighting solutions that outlast and outperform existing options.  

The electrical output and mechanical characteristics can vary widely with different lamp design requirements. Our engineers are skilled in meeting your requirements with high-performance, long-lasting, and cost-efficient customized lamp design and engineering requirements. Our valued partner Cerlux offers a wide range of custom lamp base solutions including high-quality ceramic bases in the color of your choice.

LightSources leads the industry in designing and engineering custom UV lamps including fluorescent, low-pressure mercury, and amalgam germicidal lamps to meet demanding industry applications. UVC germicidal lamps are proven in water, surface and air sterilization systems worldwide. Contact us to learn more about improving your lighting needs with customized lamps, bases and sockets.

Compact, CFL Bulbs with Plug-In Versatility

Compact fluorescent bulbs, also known as CFL bulbs, are becoming more popular in many applications.  CFL lamps come in a wide variety of sizes to meet different needs such as for commercial, industrial, and residential uses.  CFL lamps can also be designed to emit UVC radiation for germicidal applications, which is also increasing in demand as technology allows for customizing lamp sizes and shapes to accommodate many different styles of disinfection and sterilization systems. 

PLL and PLS Compact Lights

Compact lamps are often in one of two categories, either PLL (plug-in long) version or PLS (plug-in short) version. PLS lights are common in accentuating architecture or fine pieces of art.  CFL bulbs like PLS lamps are also used for security measures, in offices, homes, or for illuminating exterior signs.  PLS fluorescent lamps are found in many places and provide long-lasting, pleasing light with very cost-efficient performance. 

UVC PLS Lamps

PLS germicidal lamps are common in sterilization systems that demand powerful UV sterilization but in a limited space. UVC radiation emitted at precisely 254 nm is proven effective at killing many types of germs and harmful microorganisms. UVC germicidal lamps are used in water sterilization systems and can even kill bacteria that chlorine cannot. UV sterilization lamps in hospitals can even eliminate bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics, considered superbugs. 

UVC sterilization lamps are common in many air purification systems and can be installed in upper room UVGI air sterilization systems and are also installed in HVAC systems. UVC lamps in furnaces and air conditioning systems require powerful sterilization lamps in tight spaces. UVC PLS lamps provide effective sterilization when space is an issue.

LightSources Offers PLL and PLS Lamps with Endless Options

LightSources offers high-quality CFL bulbs in PLL and PLS lamp types with endless possibilities for custom configurations. Most PLL lamps are either 2-pin or 4-pin, although LightSources offers custom configurations with various sizes and customized sockets and bases.

LightSources is a leading global supplier of high quality UV lamps found in a wide range of lighting applications. We meet the needs of OEMs of all sizes with prototype solutions and high quality, on-time production.  Contact us to learn more about designing and engineering custom CFL lamps to meet your needs with PL and PLS light solutions.
