Ozone-Free Lamps

Traditional UV lamps operating in the 253.7nm germicidal wavelength CANNOT generate ozone, as ozone can only be produced below 200nm, specifically at 185nm. Beyond sheer physics, most UV lamps—including those purchased from UV Resources—are made using doped glass, which blocks the 185nm wavelength from escaping. Ironically, the UV light will destroy ozone, by breaking the third oxygen atom attachment in the ozone molecule and converting it back to oxygen.

LampClamp™

Our exclusive LampClamp system compresses the lamp plug and socket together to provide a watertight seal and eliminate lamp-pin corrosion and electrical “shorts” that routinely cause lamp and/or power supply failures. The LampClamp mechanism uses a thermoplastic compression nut and flexible flutes to firmly encase and secure all lamps.

Dual LampHolster™

Our unique Dual LampHolster eliminates the need to install lamps end-to-end, which often requires purchasing a variety of lamp lengths. Instead, most applications can be now met using one or two standard UV lamp lengths with a center-mounted LampHolster, where UV lamps “slip-in” place, so that they overlap one another in a scissor-like fashion. This overlapping configuration provides for more “usable” UV energy and 360-degree irradiance to maximize performance.

Plug-and-Play Ballasts

All of our fixtures feature plug-and-play wiring that streamlines and creates an error-proof method of fixture row assembly. In addition, our integrated plug-and-play X-Box™ remote power supplies and lamps are electronically matched to provide the highest output and longest life expectancy.

NEMA Enclosures

The National Electrical Manufacturer Association (NEMA) uses a standard rating system that defines the types of environmental conditions that an electrical enclosure can withstand:

• NEMA 2 – Indoor use to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt and dripping and light splashing of non-corrosive liquids.
• NEMA 3R – Protection from falling dirt, rain, sleet or snow, with a provision for drainage.
• NEMA 4X – Corrosion-resistant and rated for indoor or outdoor use. The enclosure protects from splashing water and hose-directed water, as well as against windblown dust and rain.

Non-proprietary Lamp/Ballast

Unlike some manufacturers who use expensive proprietary or custom lamp ends, UV Resources uses industry-standard lamp pin configurations and sockets thus making them more affordable and widely available.
