Let’s talk about the 80W/cm Mercury UV Lamp

We built our standard mercury lamps to hit 80W/cm. Why that number? Because if you’re running high-speed printing or textile lines, that’s the sweet spot. It gives you enough punch to dry your inks and coatings instantly, so you aren’t stuck slowing down your entire line just to make sure the product is actually cured.

Dealing with the heat

Here is the thing: 80W/cm packs a serious punch in a very small space. To keep the lamp from melting itself, we use high-purity quartz glass. It lets the UV rays fly through while standing up to the brutal heat of the arc. But you’ve got to keep an eye on your cooling. This lamp puts out a lot of infrared heat—lots of it. If your fans start acting up or your reflectors get dusty, you’re asking for trouble. You’ll either burn out the bulb way too early or, even worse, warp your materials.
