On the floor, microbial control isn’t optional—it’s part of the process. When the conveyor keeps moving and you can’t leave chemical residue behind, the germicidal UV lamp is the make-or-break piece. If output drops early, you’re under-dosing surfaces, and one recall will cost more than a full year of lamp upkeep. What matters, technically We build these around high-purity quartz sleeves optimized for 254nm transmission, so the germicidal dose stays steady. Peak irradiance is what counts at the target plane, not at the lamp surface. Depending on fixture geometry and reflector efficiency, you’ll typically see 60–120 mJ/cm² delivered at line speed. An ozone-free coating keeps secondary contamination from sneaking in, and spectral output stays within 5% after 9,000 hours, measured on a calibrated radiometer. Power density is matched to industrial ballasts, and thermal management holds junction temperature inside the rated envelope—otherwise you get premature end-of-life. Why this works in real production In food processing, uptime and repeatability are the numbers you live by. These lamps keep pace with the line—no slowing down for chemical dwell times and rinse steps, no bottlenecks. Energy use stays predictable, and because output holds steady over long runs, you can set validated dose windows with confidence. When a lamp hits its rated life, we stand behind it with a clear performance-decay policy: if output falls below the guaranteed threshold within the warranty window, we replace it at no cost. What you need to watch Installation tolerances are tight. Distance to the surface, alignment, and reflector cleanliness directly change the delivered dose. Check ballast compatibility, and make sure the fixture can hold the specified operating temperature. In high-humidity washdown areas, confirm IP ratings and seal compatibility. And plan lamp change-outs based on radiometer readings—don’t rely on calendar time alone.
