Low Pressure UV Amalgam

Ushio America offers two types of low-pressure Amalgam lamps. These lamps have a special coating that allows for transmission at 254nm only or 254nm and 185nm for ozone production.

The low-pressure Amalgam lamps achieve ten times the UV power density of standard low-pressure lamps and five times more ozone production while operating at a higher temperature than conventional low-pressure Mercury lamps.

The higher efficiency of the Amalgam lamps allows less lamps per system or lower wattage lamps in the system while achieving the same results as standard low-pressure Mercury lamps.

Amalgam lamps use less mercury than standard low-pressure mercury lamps and are RoHS compliant. Life time of the Amalgam lamps are in excess of 12,000 hours with only a 20% degradation in output.
