The LightSources Group is a leading specialty lamp manufacturer with in-depth knowledge of the many uses of light, providing effective and cost-efficient lamps for several applications. Some of the most common uses of UV and fluorescent lighting include:
- Illumination – lighting for homes, offices, warehouses
- Signs – illuminating signs in any shape or size
- Backlighting applications – miniature fluorescent lighting is used in avionic display illumination and backlighting in computer and technological applications
- Phototherapy – UV lights provide health benefits to a wide range of illnesses
- Tanning – LightSources provides patented technology for maximum tanning effects
- UV Curing – UV curing solutions are used in many industries to improve quality and cost- efficient operations
- UVC Germicidal Applications – Ultraviolet energy is highly effective at eradicating bacteria and viruses from air, water and surfaces
Illumination with Specialty UV Lamps
Illumination is the obvious and most common of the many uses of light, with a wide variety of types and styles of ultraviolet and fluorescent lighting available. Fluorescent light bulbs have a phosphor coating on the inside which converts the ultraviolet radiation into visible light.
LightSources offers specialty fluorescent lamps and lighting solutions in a wide array of standard lamp sizes with custom options available. Our valued partner, LCD Lighting (LCDL), is a leading manufacturer of T2, T4, T5, T8 and T12 fluorescent lamps. LCDL also provides CCFL sub-minis, HCFL-aperture and reflectors, compact fluorescent lamps and aquarium lighting solutions.
LCDL offers a wide range of standard sizes and custom sign designs for home or commercial use.
Phototherapy Uses of Light Provide Medicinal Benefits
UV lamps provide phototherapy to people that suffer from a wide range of medical ailments. UV lamps are proven to improve skin conditions such as psoriasis, and improve mood disorders including depression and seasonal affective disorder.
Tanning
LightSources offers highly effective tanning solutions with patented and proprietary technology to provide greater tanning intensity with longer lasting effects. Our low-pressure fluorescent, dual and triple-phosphor and high pressure facial tanning lamps deliver innovative solutions to tanning salons, providing greater satisfaction to clients.
We transform the many uses of UV light into the most effective tanning lamps available today with our cutting-edge tanning technology including: Multitone™, A-Power™, SolGlass® and Peak 2® technology with custom twist and swirl proprietary bases.
UV Curing
Ultraviolet radiation is used by OEMs and manufacturers worldwide to instantly dry paints, inks, coatings, and adhesives. UV curing causes a chemical reaction on certain polymers that creates a strong, unbreakable bond or quickly dries outer surfaces.
UV curing is proven to be effective at curing and bonding, and more efficient and cost-saving than other methods such as air drying or chemical use. Air drying can leave an inconsistent surface due to evaporation, and the use of chemicals can pose hazards for employees. UV curing is used in many commercial and industrial processes around the globe, including screen printing, surface treating on various parts and components, and secondary applications in a variety of processes.
UVC Germicidal Lamps
Ultraviolet light delivered at short wavelengths provides very powerful disinfection properties that quickly eradicate viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms. Germicidal applications are one of the many uses of light practiced worldwide for the disinfection of water, air, and surfaces. UVC germicidal lamps are used in a wide variety of applications such as purifying the air in hospitals and doctor offices and disinfecting water in local municipalities’ wastewater treatment plants.
UVC germicidal water treatments are also used in the international shipping trade to treat the ballast water in ships, preventing the spread of dangerous and toxic marine organisms, and protecting the oceans of our planet.
UVC germicidal lamps are also beneficial in the food industry, disinfecting food purification systems in restaurants, grocery stores, and public areas.
