Some of the purposes that UV lamps are designed for are to attract bugs and other insects. There may be a electric system rigged to the lamp to kill the insects as they hit the lamp. Other uses include black lights, which illuminates certain materials. UV light is invisible to the human eye, but makes other materials florescent.

When will be the Mercury lamps will be stopped in market?

If you are referring to fluorescent and CFL lamps, it can never be totally eliminated. These are mercury vapor arc lamps using a phosphor to turn the UV to visible light. They have reduced the mercury dramatically, but it can't be totally eliminated. If all fluorescent and CFL lamps were banned and lighting was all converted to LED then use of mercury could be stopped. However most LED lamps cost at least ten times what CFL lamps cost.

How often should the UV lamp be changed?

The UV light is designed to operate for (1) year under continuous operation. The lamp will slowly lose energy during this period, therefore the lamp should be changed annually to guarantee the amount of UV energy available is sufficient enough to kill micro-organisms. But for XPES induction UV lamp, it will have a long period to keep the UV energy.

What produce ultraviolet light?

The Sun, like all stars, generates UV along with a myriad of frequencies of energy. Other sources of UV are some forms of gas combustion, electric arc welders, and (to a much smaller extent) ordinary incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Some "black light" or "glow-in-the-dark" bulbs are designed to trap most visible light and release UV light. Commercial tanning beds use special lamps that generate profuse UV-A light and some UV-B. These may be less-expensive phosphor fluorescent lamps or the more efficient quartz lamps.


What is the difference between a UV light bulb and a black light?

A black light is a UV emitting bulb. There are other types of UV bulbs, but most have very specific uses, such as: bug lights, tanning bed lamps, drying lamps for lithographic applications and printing, and medical diagnosis. All lamps--incandescent, fluorescent, mercury vapor, tungsten, etc.-- emit some range of UV light, so could be considered UV lamps, but that is not their specific purpose, and the amounts or levels vary widely.

Do all light bulbs give off UV light?

All lamps will give off UV but incandescent lamps will give-off unmeasurably small amounts. Discharge lamps essentially all contain mercury and mercury in the discharge gives off UV. However, most lamps are enclosed in UV-absorbing glass, either as primary containment or as an outer enclosure (bulb), so very little gets beyond the outer bulb. If any lamp emits more then almost no UV, it has to be marked (R in the US), and a warning given that it cannot be used in an open fixture - in other words, it must be used behind a UV absorber (usually what is called soft glass - similar to normal window glass).
