What This Lamp is Really Built For
Here’s the thing: we built this UV gallium lamp to be a straight-up workhorse. It’s all about packing a serious punch into a focused beam. For PCB exposure, we’re talking about a 400V input that pushes 2500W of power into a 300mm tube. And no, that power isn’t just for show. It’s what creates the intense shortwave UV you need to fully set the photoresist on a circuit board. The 300mm length? That was a deliberate choice. It keeps the footprint small, so you can drop it right in and swap it out in your existing unit. No messy redesigns. Just swap and go.
Built to Take the Heat
This lamp lives in a hot, tough world. That’s why the core is quartz—it can handle the brutal thermal shock inside the tube without blinking. We also tuned the interior coating to zero in on the UV-A spectrum. The goal is simple: put the energy where you need it for curing, not wasting it as unwanted heat. Then there’s the R7s connector. It’s the unsung hero. It gives you a rock-solid, high-amperage connection that just keeps going, even after thousands of cycles. It’s a simple, tough interface that you wire up once and then, honestly, just forget about.
Where It Shines
Out on a wood flooring line, this setup cures the topcoat into a finish that feels like glass—high gloss and seriously scratch-resistant. That shortwave UV energy instantly locks the coating into a hard, durable layer that shrugs off scuffs. Back on the PCB side, it gives you that precise exposure you need for crisp, fine-line imaging.
The Trade-Off
Now, let’s talk reality. A 2500W lamp throws off a lot of heat. That’s just physics. So your machine’s cooling system needs to be up to the task. If you’ve got that covered, this lamp delivers the raw curing power you need to keep production moving at a serious pace. It’s a tough, dependable tool for anyone who needs a component that just performs when the pressure is on.
