PLS Lights with Custom Options

Compact ultraviolet (UV) lamps are used in many industries and applications in fluorescent-type lamps as well as UVC germicidal, low-pressure mercury lamps. Plug-in lamps with pin sockets come in various sizes and lengths, such as long (PLL) and short (PLS). PLS lights are used in many environments such as accentuating modern architecture, lighting solutions for homes, offices, exterior signs, and security.

Low-pressure mercury compact PLS lights provide germicidal solutions in many applications, killing bacteria, viruses and harmful microorganisms in water, in the air, and on surfaces.

PLS Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Lamp manufacturers offer PLS lamps which are a type of compact fluorescent lamp, also known as CFL bulbs, or energy-saving bulbs. PLS light is becoming more popular and a common lighting choice due to its high performance from a smaller, cost-efficient fluorescent lamp with long life performance. PLS fluorescent lamps are typically available with 2-pin or 4-pin bases with a range of options in emissions and color temperatures from daylight to warm white lighting.

CFL bulbs contain a phosphor coating inside the glass tube which produces UV light when electricity mixes with mercury and argon gases. The fluorescent coating reacts with the UV light to produce visible light, which may start off dim and become brighter.

UVC PLS Light for Germicidal Applications

Ultraviolet radiation in the UVC range, specifically at 254 nm, is proven highly effective at eradicating many types of harmful microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, and others. UVC lamps designed to emit 185 nm produce ozone, another proven sterilizer, and oxidizer. There are countless sterilization systems that utilize UVC lamps for cleaner air, water, and surfaces. Many of these sterilization systems require high UVC output in a small space.

UVC PLS lamps provide germicidal effectiveness in a smaller, cost-efficient compact lamp solution.

Custom PLS Lamps from LightSources

LightSources has been a leading lamp manufacturer and global supplier of lighting solutions for nearly 40 years. LightSources and LightTech offer a wide range of CFL bulbs, including PLL and PLS light solutions, with many options including custom design and engineering. Compact lamps from LightSources are available in both soft glass and quartz glass design manufactured from the finest in quality materials.

Our experienced lighting engineers offer in-depth knowledge of UV radiation and a wide range of light sources, finishes, and sizes to meet your unique and specific requirements. We offer prototype development and manufacturing solutions, following a strict quality policy as part of our ISO9001:2015 certification. CFL lamps from LightSources are engineered to emit 90% of total rated UVC energy to maintain the most effective germicidal wavelength for effective sterilization.

Compact UVC lamps from LightSources are found in sterilization systems worldwide, including air and water purification, surface sterilization and the food and beverage industry. Germicidal lamps help to purify the air and remove airborne diseases and contaminants with UV air sterilization systems popular in hospitals, industrial air treatment, and even HVAC units in residential homes.

UV water treatment purification systems help to eliminate many viruses in the water, some that even chlorine cannot kill. Water treatment systems utilize UVC germicidal lamps for wastewater treatment, industrial water treatment, fish and marine life, drinking water, pool and spa, ballast water treatment in ships and many other water treatment systems.

You can find UVC lamps in many surface sterilization systems, including UVC robots, germicidal lamps used to sterilize medical equipment and surfaces, hospital rooms, operating rooms, research laboratories, and more. Even small handheld devices and little robots to roam across countertops use compact UVC lamps to prevent harmful microbial buildup and the spread of contagious diseases.

Custom Designed PLL Lamps


 Germicidal compact lamps are useful in a wide range of applications and industries, including air and surface disinfection. This type of lamp is broken down into one of two primary categories, short (PLS) or long (PLL). PLL lamps provide higher energy density in a compact footprint versus that of traditional linear lamps.

Due to this compact nature, these low-pressure mercury UVC PLL lamps provide germicidal solutions in applications where full-size germicidal lamps may not be an option. Regardless of type, PLL and PLS compact germicidal lamps feature high germicidal efficacy and can aid in the reduction/disinfection of viruses, bacteria, and harmful pathogens in air, water and surface applications.

 

Compact UVC Germicidal PLL Lamps

 

Compact PLL germicidal lamps are highly effective at providing disinfection solutions in cost-efficient, geometrically small foot prints. PLL lighting has become a popular choice with plug in versatility typically available in either 2-pin or 4-pin bases.


Germicidal Applications for UVC PLL Lamps

 

UVC PLL lamps designed to emit ultraviolet radiation in the range of 254 nm is proven to be extremely effective at eliminating various types of harmful pathogens including many types of viruses and bacteria. UVC germicidal lamps are also proven to prevent the buildup of mold and mildew in many environments. UVC ozone lamps are engineered to emit precisely 185 nm of UV radiation and provide sterilization and oxidizing effects such as order control.

 

UVC lamps designed to produce ozone work in the air without needing direct contact as opposed to 254 nm lamps which must be pointed at the point of sterilization without obstruction. Many types of sterilization systems utilize UVC lamps including short and long PLL lamps to provide a healthier environment with purified air, sterilized water and surfaces.

Germicidal UVC lamps eliminate harmful microorganisms in water and even kill viruses and bacteria that chlorine does not. Compact CFL UVC bulbs provide sterilization solutions to many surface disinfection systems with countless application uses in public, commercial, industrial, and residential settings. UVC lamps help to provide a safer environment in hospitals, restaurants, schools, public transportation systems and more with endless application possibilities.
