LightSources and LightTech offer a wide selection of low-pressure mercury, compact UV lamps in soft glass and quartz glass with custom engineering available. Known for introducing innovative, cutting edge technology, our patented pellet amalgam lamps provide increased output and efficiency.

Germicidal compact UV lamps deliver all the necessary features and components of larger UVC lamps, fitted neatly into a small space. When space is an issue, compact UV lamps from LightSources offer a wide range of possibilities with high efficacy and cost-saving features.

Compact UV Lamp Design Optionscompact uv lamps

Compact UV light bulbs from LightSources are small and simple, yet specially engineered with a two-tube linear design for uniform output. We offer custom design, development, and manufacture of compact UV lamps from skilled UV lighting engineers and a state-of-the-art glass factory. UV compact lamps provide high efficiency by leaving a dead space at the end of each parallel tube, which is further away from the discharge for a lower wall temperature.

Our compact lamps are available in Soft Glass and Quartz Glass designs, 185nm ozone lamps or 254nm ozone free, manufactured in the highest of quality materials with countless options. Learn more about the many compact UV lamp design options including proprietary bases and sockets and quartz sleeves which provide added safety, an investment worth making. LightSources offers UV compact plug-in lamps in PLS (short) and PLL (long) lamps with custom engineering options available.

Soft Glass Compact UV Lamps

Soft glass compact UVC lamps provide 254nm germicidal efficacy in small places, with maximum efficiency operating on a variety of current (180 to 1,700mA inputs). UV radiation in the range of 200 to 300nm is proven extremely effective at killing microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, yeasts and harmful pathogens in the air, water and on surfaces.

Quartz Glass Compact UV Lamps

Quartz glass compact UVC lamps are available in both 185nm ozone lamps and 254nm technology. Our low pressure mercury discharge lamps are specially designed to produce the highest amounts of UV radiation typically about 90% of the total rated energy at 253.7nm.

Amalgam Compact UV Lamps

LightSources has pioneered patented pellet amalgam technology which provides many benefits over spot amalgam technology.  Our patented amalgam lamps produce a higher UV intensity with many cost-saving benefits such as up to 16,000 operating hours, operation in extreme ambient environments and up to 90% of UVC output still at end of product life.

Our patented amalgam technology provides one of the greatest values on the market with outstanding UVC efficiency.  Learn more about our Patented Pellet Amalgam Lamps including lamp and electronic ballast features, including custom development with add-on features, housing, and mounting options for space-saving installation of high-performance, cost-effective amalgam compact UV lamps.
