What are My Options with Energy Efficient Light Bulbs?

We all want to do our part when it comes to saving energy, being ‘green’ and contributing to a healthier planet.  But when it comes to light bulbs, how do we know which energy saving options are the best?  Which bulbs last the longest and save the most energy?

Traditional incandescent bulbs use a lot of energy to emit light, thus 90% of the energy used is given off as heat and is wasted.  This is why these traditional light bulbs are being phased out of use.  Energy saving choices for light bulbs today includes halogen incandescent, compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL), and light emitting diodes commonly known as LED lighting.   These newer choices may cost a little more to purchase, but they will save you money during their life cycle.

Compact fluorescent bulbs are more energy efficient than halogen incandescent, and will pay for themselves usually within nine months of use.  CFL bulbs have been shown to use about one fourth of the energy as traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to ten times longer, providing a quick return on your investment not to mention the time saved in changing bulbs!  LED lighting is quickly becoming a popular choice with advancements in technology.  LEDs are Energy Star™ rated and use about 25% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, lasting up to 25 times longer.

Patented, Proprietary Peak2 Technology®

At LightSources and LightTech, we have not stopped developing proprietary solutions to offer clients the best tanning lamp solutions on the market.  One example is our Peak2 Technology® that provides your customers with a whole new tanning experience by giving them a longer lasting, deep bronzing effect. 

Our proprietary Peak² Technology® is like getting two lamps in one as it offers a pure and balanced phosphor mix that offers both a high UVA output as well as a high UVB output all in one phosphor.  This means our lamps have the ability to deliver dual spectral peaks to provide the highest output in the maximum pigmentation range. 

The innovative bronzing lamps use a new patented, state-of-the-art coating material to provide tanners with an even, beautifully balanced tan.  The Peak² also is cost-effective as it increases output consistency over the life of the lamp.

Since tanning is a part of the beauty industry, aesthetics as well as functionality are important.  That’s why LightSources and LightTech have produced another proprietary product called Twist/Swirl Technology.  This is an ultrahigh-power tanning lamp that has periodical swirls and depressions on the outer tube and is specifically designed to create a luxurious look that is aesthetically appealing in the tanning salon. 

However, the Twist lamp is not just a thing of beauty but is also a workhorse.  Its customized glass has a greater surface to reduce radiant heating, and at the same time improves the lamps’ cooling off efficiency.  Furthermore, our Twist lamps provide higher input and increased UV radiation output. 

The Twist lamp is available in a range of options.  It can be ordered with or without a 180 degree reflector, a dual or tri-coat, and comes in all the standard lengths as well as wattages between 100W all the way up to 225W.  Visit our website to learn more about the best tanning lamps on the market.

High Pressure UV Curing Lamps

Offering a high-speed, cost-effective solution, UV curing has quickly become the curing method of choice for many industries.  The process involves using high intensity ultraviolet lights to create a photochemical reaction to produce a byproduct that instantly cures adhesives, coatings, inks, varnishes, decorative glazes, and lacquers.  UV curing systems offer the advantage of being easy to operate and maintain, and are used by a range of industries including automotive, industrial, electrical, medical and optical.

The demands of your application will determine what type of UV curing lamps will best suit your needs.  The three primary types of lamps are:  High pressure UV (HPUV), Medium pressure UV (MPUV), and Amalgam lamps.  LightSources and LightTech’s sales team is very experienced with all three types of lamps and will help guide you through the process of designing your own unique system using our standard UV curing lamps or customized ones. 

Our exceptional HPUV curing lamps, also known as Metal Halide lamps, offer short wavelength outputs that peak at 254nm and 365nm.  While lamps emit energy in both of these ranges, the strongest emission is found in the short wavelengths.  If an application requires higher wavelengths and needs to alter the spectral output such as in the reprographic industry, additive lamps are created by dosing the lamps with heavy metal compounds.  HPUV lamps are also used for applications in photochemistry, cosmetics, and the food and beverage industries as well as for sewer rehabilitation.

Contact us to learn how we can help to design a system that meets all of your specifications. In addition to our customized lamps, we also offer proprietary and patented base solutions to help keep you competitive in your respective global markets.
