Best Answer

Yes and No - but it is not liquid Mercury that is harmful to the environment it is a solid amalgam and is relatively harmless and meets the RoHS standards for hazardous substances, and is easily disposed of at end of life.

What is different from Induction UV lamps and Traditional UV mercury lamp?

1. Traditional UV mercury lamp have a limited lifespan, while induction UV lamp have long lifespan. The induction UV lamp is 10 times more than traditional mercury lamp, and the lifespan is not influence switching times. 2. The consumption of traditional UV mercury lamp is large, but the UV output of energy generating just only about 20%, so the efficiently UV is not high. 3. Induction UV lamp have highly concentrated UV spectral, so it can shorten the curing time and promote the efficiency. 4. There are some hidden UV mercury contamination, for example, due to a high pressure, high temperature and intense radiation of a mercury lamp, it is easy to make the oxygen molecules surrounding to chemical reaction and then producing ozone, and ozone not only have a bad effect on the atmosphere, but also have a bad on health. 5. Induction UV lamp is cold light so it have no heat radiation. The temperature of illuminated surface is low so the work piece is not deformed by heat. 6. The induction UV lamp can be switched on and restarted at once, and will not suffer the decline. What is more, it is no need to warm-up to achieve the maximum UV output power. 7. Induction UV lamp have a stable light output, good illumination uniformity, which can improve production efficiency. 8. The ballast of the induction UV lamp works on IC chips and wide-voltage design, providing high power factor, low current harmonic and adjustable light. 9. Induction UV lamp can save more than 80% energy, and also have low luminous decay, which is an environment friendly lighting source.


What is XPES induction UV lamp?

XPES induction UV lamp is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added which makes this process simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance. Approximately 95% of the ultraviolet energy emitted is at the mercury resonance line of 254nm.


Why you use mercury lamp instead of ordinary light or sodium lamp in constant deviation?

we use mercury lamp instead of ordinary lamp because ordinary lamp has many wavelengths when mercury lamp has single wavelength so in constant deviation we use only mercury lamp.


What will happen if mercury lamp is used instead of sodium lamp in plane diffraction grating exp?

for diffraction grating mercury lamp is used not sodium lamp.


What type gas use in mercury lamp?

It is a gas discharge lamp which uses mercury in excited states.


What voltage mercury lamp works?

the supply voltage to a mercury vapour lamp (from the electromagnetic ballast) is 130vac


Do mercury lamps contain mercury?

yes, there is a coating in the lamp, which contain mercury


What is the terminology HPMV for a lamp?

It is a High Pressure Mercury Vapour lamp.


Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?

No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.


Is Induction Lighting a new technology?

Certainly not Induction Lighting has been around for over 2 decades and the Induction lamp technology has now matured to a first choice lighting solution


What is the induction lamp system and how does induction lighting work?

1. An induction lamp system uses a technology of light generation that combines the basic principles of induction and gas discharge. Void of electrodes this technology delivers 100,000 hours of natural sun light spectrums with rare earth horticulture blend phosphors for full PAR spectrum photosynthesis for plant growth.
