UV low-pressure and germicidal lamps

UV low pressure lamps

Noblelight offers a broad range of UV low-pressure lamps manufactured from high quality quartz glass for disinfecting water, air and surfaces. If synthetic quartz glass is used as the lamp material, 185 nm UV radiation (vacuum UV) is emitted in addition to 254 nm for oxidation processes such as the reduction of pollutants, odors and grease.

UV low-pressure lamps are available in various lengths, with various end connectors and in rod or U-shapes. U-shaped lamps offer higher output in a compact design.

Depending on the application, it makes sense to use particularly efficient and space-saving lamps. The NNILight series with 800, 1000 or 1500W enables reliable disinfection of drinking water with the lowest total cost of ownership.

  • High-efficiency low-pressure mercury lamps offer 30% to 60% higher output at a spectral output of 254 nm and are ozone-free.
  • Standard low-pressure mercury lamps made of synthetic or natural quartz glass have spectral output at 254 nm and 185 nm and are ozone-generating.

Your advantages

  • High UV efficiency (40%)
  • Low energy consumption
  • UV lamps tailored to customer requirements
  • Output 30% to 60% higher than with lamps made of soft glass
  • Low surface temperature

Application areas

 Disinfection of water - municipal drinking water, sewage treatment plants and air-conditioning

 Reduction of pollutants in industrial exhaust air

 Air disinfection in hospitals

 Grease and odor control for foodservice kitchens
