Mercury UV Curing lamps are constructed from high quality transparent fused quartz, enabling high levels of ultra-violet radiation to be transmitted. They vary in arc length from 1 inch to 180 inches. The typical power levels of this lamp type range from 200 to 1000 watts per inch. Those operate at 400 WPI or above are generally considered Super UV lamps. Most common UV curing lamps contain mercury and argon with the peak wavelength at 365nm. The operating life of a UV curing lamp is measured in hours of ultra-violet output that drops off gradually throughout the life of the lamp. Generally, standard UV curing lamps emit enough UV to cure for 800 hours. Improved production techniques and higher grade materials have enabled our UV lamps to operate with a life in excess of 1500 hours, when operated in suitable machines under optimum conditions. Standard UV curing lamps have a wide range of industrial applications, such as the curing and drying of inks, varnishes, plastics and adhesives.

強紫外線高壓水銀燈（簡稱UV燈）由高品質的純石英管材製造而成，使紫外線能高程度及大量的穿透，其弧長度/發光長度可由5釐米至300釐米不等，常見功率為每釐米30W至200W，超大功率UV燈一般在每釐米200W或以上操作，該燈光譜有效範圍在350-450nm之間，主波峰為365nm，有700多個品種，功率由100w-25kw.UV燈的壽命一般指其能維持足夠的能量進行操作的時間，在此期間其能量逐漸衰減直至低於可接受的範圍為止，一般情況標準的UV燈能放射足夠的UV能量達800小時.UV固化廣氾用於竹木地板、傢具、裝飾材料、印刷、印鐵制罐、塑膠塗裝、標牌、電路板、光盤等行業；也是半導體、電子元件、液晶等粘接固化的理想光源.
