UVA is in the 315 - 420nm wavelength range. This includes Photopolymer (365 - 400nm) and Diazo (400 - 420nm). We carry a wide range of UVA lamps used in curing of inks and lamanants, including medium pressure, metal halide and specialized flourescents. We also supply quartz plates & aluminum reflectors for printing equipment, and digital radiometers.For decades web presses have been used to manufacture and print labels for a wide array of applications. Every type of packaging requires labels for branding, instructions, nutritional facts and more. Labels for Food & Beverage, Medical, Cosmetics & Healthcare, Household products and Private Branding are manufactured using many techniques. UV inks are applied one layer at a time and cured with UV lamps. Universal Light Source, Inc. has been supplying UV lamps for the Label Printing industry for over 35 years. During this time we have acquired a complete understanding of the physic, chemistry and mathematics used in the manufacturing process. We have an extensive list of lamps and a cross reference database for UV lamps used in virtually all presses.

Compact UVC lamps are widely used in HVAC to kill mold spores and bacteria in heating and AC vents, easing symptoms of asthma and allergies. Compact UVA and UVB lamps have various applications in gemology, nail curing, insect trapping, and dermatology.

Deuterium lamps create an arc between the anode and tungston filament that excites molecular deuterium. Light is emmitted as it transitions back to it's initial state. The intense continuum from the vacuum ultraviolet to 500 nm, and the low visible and infrared output, ensure superior signal to noise for many UV measurements. We stock a number of different models from Heraeus, Hamamatsu and others, including part numbers: L1789, DO801, DO302, DO902, D1050, R.23, G.03, 3UNXGa, 5QNCu-Zn, Cu, Pb, As and Hollow Cathode.
