Ozone is naturally produced from ultraviolet light, with ozone light bulbs replicating the UV wavelength needed to produce ozone. When we hear the word ozone, we think of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. This ozone layer is produced from UV light, and filters most of the UV light from the sun.
UV light is
emitted at a frequency that is higher than visible light, which is in the range
of 400 to 700 nanometer (nm). Ultraviolet light, is beyond the highest
frequency of visible light, which is violet, and is emitted from the sun within
the range of 100 to 315 nm. Most of this is filtered through the ozone layer in
the atmosphere.
UV light
emitted in short wavelengths, between 160 and 240 nm, will produce ozone
through a process called photolysis of oxygen (O2). This process disrupts the
molecule to create valent oxygen atoms that attach to individual oxygen
molecules and creates ozone (O3).
Ozone Provides Natural
Germicidal Effectiveness
Ultraviolet radiation emitted at 254 nm is proven
to deliver highly effective germicidal properties by killing germs and harmful
bacteria. UV wavelengths in the range of 185 nm are effective to create ozone,
which eliminates contaminants in air, water and surfaces and also acts as a
natural oxidizer to eliminate foul odor in the air.
UVC Ozone Light Bulbs
Ozone light
bulbs produce UV radiation at less than 220 nm, in the range of 185nm, to
effectively decompress the oxygen (O2) in the air which produces ozone (O3).
UVC ozone lamps also eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as
mercaptans, sulfides, and ammonia. One of the greatest advantages of ozone
light is that it is carried through the air to places where direct UV exposure
cannot reach.
UVC light bulbs emitting 254 nm
wavelengths instantly eradicate viruses and bacteria upon exposure, combined
with ozone-generating light bulbs, a UV air purification system delivers additional
deodorizing properties.
LightSources Delivers UVC Ozone
Lamps
LightSources is a world-leading
supplier of fluorescent and UV lamps, including UVC germicidal and ozone light bulbs. We construct
ozone lamps with the highest quality quartz glass and determine UV emissions
with the type of fused quartz used in manufacturing germicidal lamp envelopes.
UV lamps which emit radiation within the range of 100 to 280 nm provide the
most effective germicidal power.
LightSources
manufactures ozone lamps with Very High (VH) lamp design which is constructed
with quality clear fused quartz. We offer Low (L) germicidal lamps which
provide effective disinfection at 254 nm and include specially doped fused
quartz to prohibit UV radiation at 185nm. Lamps constructed with clear quartz
allow the uninterrupted emission of 185 nm in ozone light lamps.
You can find our VH lamps in a
multitude of germicidal processes such as water disinfection applications. UVC ozone lamps
are used in water disinfection applications such as pools and spas, water
reclamation, municipalities, ballast water treatment, life sciences, and many
other water purification processes.
Ozone lamps
are also found in air purification systems in HVAC systems and many commercial,
industrial, and residential air treatment systems. UVC germicidal lamps also
aid surface disinfection processes used in the food and beverage industry,
grocery stores, restaurants, and medical applications.
The LightSources Group Supports
OEMs Large and Small
The
LightSources Group is regarded as an authority and leading supplier of
fluorescent and UV lamps and lighting solutions. We are committed to research
and development, offering several first-to-market, patented products developed
with proprietary technology. Our skilled engineers are the best in the business
with an in-depth knowledge of UV radiation and custom-designed solutions with
quality components and custom phosphor blends.
We
manufacture Low-Pressure Mercury Discharge lamps which we construct with either
soda lime glass or quartz glass to provide either 185 nm or 254 nm to allow the
right UV radiation to pass through unmodified. Our Medium Pressure Mercury
Discharge lamps emit broadband UV radiation as opposed to narrowband and are
similar to high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
Whatever
your germicidal application calls for, LightSources offers a wide selection of
standard products as well as providing custom designed solutions to meet
specific requirements. Our engineering team will design your germicidal lamps
with the right amount of ozone emission with careful construction and
combination of two types of quartz. We follow a strict quality policy as part
of our ISO9001:2015 certification, offering vast resources and quick turnaround
time for production and prototype solutions.
