Metal halogen lamps, also known as metal halide lamps, are ultraviolet lamps developed from high-pressure mercury lamps. It is the lamp made of high-purity quartz tubes, with mercury added to the quartz tubes and the metal sealed in the form of halides. The feature of this lamp is that, compared with mercury lamps, it has a higher output power of long-wave ultraviolet rays in the range of 300 - 450nm and is used for the curing of printing inks.

Description
Technical Parameters
Metal halide lamps are high-intensity gas discharge sources developed on the basis of high-pressure mercury lamps. It has the advantages of strong penetration, wide application range and long service life. Halogen lamps, as high intensity uv curing lamps, have a unique working principle. Usually, specific metal halides are added inside the high-pressure mercury lamp. Through the circulation effect of the metal halides, the corresponding metal vapor is continuously supplied to the arc.
Metal halide lamps have advantages such as high strength, long lifespan, energy conservation and high efficiency. At the same time, there are also some weaknesses: for instance, the startup time is relatively long (it takes 1 to 2 minutes to reach full lighting), it generates a lot of heat, and it needs to be used with special power supplies such as ballasts and triggers. Moreover, due to the presence of ultraviolet rays, protective measures must be taken during installation to prevent damage to the human body and materials. But this does not affect its outstanding performance in specific fields.
It is mainly applicable to the curing of UV inks and UV paints, as well as the exposure work of dry films, wet films and green solder masks. Especially when it comes to screen printing and curing colored products, particularly for products with thick coatings and the drying of white and black products, the effect is particularly outstanding. It's the best uv resin curing light.
In terms of specifications, the power range of metal halide lamps is wide, ranging from 1kw to 20kw, and the length of the lamp tube can also be customized according to actual demands. Metal halide lamps, with their outstanding optical performance and wide applicability, have become indispensable key light sources in industrial curing, professional lighting and special exposure fields.

FAQ
Q: What types of UV curing lamps do you produce?
A: The most commonly used are: high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, gallium lamps, and iodine-gallium lamps. Lengths can be customized upon request.
Q: What is the lamp lifespan?
A: The standard lifespan is 600-1000 hours. High-quality materials extend the lifespan and reduce customer costs.
Q: How do I know when a UV curing lamp needs to be replaced?
A: It should be replaced when curing efficiency decreases or when it fails to fully cure. You can purchase a UV light meter to regularly measure the lamp intensity and replace it when it reaches a certain level.
Q: How often should the reflector on a UV curing lamp be replaced?
A: It is recommended to replace it at the same time as the lamp. If it is dirty or damaged, it should be replaced in advance. We provide high-quality reflectors to ensure optimal light quality.
