Metal Halide Lamp
Typical application: UV curing of inks and varnishes responsive to 365Nm wavelength.
The medium-pressure metal halide ultraviolet lamp is composed of a quartz envelope containing mercury and metal halide pellets additives, which create ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength. The wavelength of the added metal halide will be strongly transferred to the visible light spectrum output, resulting in a longer wavelength for deeper curing process.
Metal halide lamps are widely used in the printing industry and various industrial applications, such as LCD, CD / DVD production, printed circuit boards, wood industry, etc.
TSTUV manufacture replication lamps for most existing medium-pressure UV lamps from 800 watts on the market.

Electrodeless UV Lamp
Electrodeless bulbs, more commonly known as microwave lamps, are an extraordinary type of medium pressure mercury vapor lamp. The design concept is the mercury contained in the quartz sleeve is vaporized by irradiating the lamp with microwave energy (magnetron generator) rather than passing current between the electrodes. This offers few distinct advantages over the conventual electrode UV lamp:
Instant on/off capability
Smaller lamp design
Much longer lamp life (3~5 times a conventual electrode UV lamp)
More efficiency light output
Stronger intensity light at working surface
TSTUV supply microwave bulbs available in 6” (152.4 mm) and 10” (254 mm) lengths with power ratings of 300 & 600 WPI (watts per inch) which are made in the USA and are directly interchangeable with the electrodeless lamps made by OEM’s UV Systems Inc.
Metal Halide doping is used to change the spectral output of these lamps.
6” H type Electrodeless UV Lamp
The “H” bulb is a medium pressure Mercury vapor bulb that produces a conventional Mercury spectral output, which includes light wavelengths distributed across the entire UV range. H bulbs are typically used in applications that cure efficiently with high intensity light in the UVC and UVA ranges.
10” H⁺ type Electrodeless UV Lamp
The “H⁺” bulb is a medium pressure Mercury vapor bulb that produces a range of light output from a conventional Mercury spectrum, which includes light wavelengths distributed across the entire UV range. The H+ bulb is very similar to the H bulb, except the H+ bulb produces about 10% more light in the UVC range, which is effective in achieving good surface cure properties.
D type Electrodeless UV Lamp
The “D” bulb is a medium pressure Mercury vapor bulb with a unique metal additive. When energized, the metal additive and Mercury vaporize into a plasma to produce a wide distribution range of UV light with most of its output in the UVA range. In fact, the output of the D bulb is about 2-3 times higher in the UVA range compared to the H bulb, which makes this bulb extremely effective when curing through heavily pigmented resins or thick layers of clear resins.
V type Electrodeless UV Lamp
The “V” bulb is a medium pressure Mercury vapor bulb with a unique metal additive. When energized, the metal additive and Mercury vaporize into a plasma to produce a wide distribution range of UV light with most of its output in the UV-V range. The UV-V wavelength range is extremely effective when curing through the depths of pigmented resins, and particularly effective when curing white pigmented resins.
Selecting the right UV long arc curing lamp involves considering several factors:
Wavelength: Match the lamp’s output with the photo-initiators in your material.
Intensity: Ensure the lamp provides sufficient UV light to achieve thorough curing.
Size and Configuration: Choose a lamp that fits the spatial configuration of your machinery and the scale of your production.
Recent advancements in UV technology have led to the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly UV Lamps. These innovations are expected to drive their adoption across more industries, promising lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact.
