Introduction

We built the Quartz UVC T5 germicidal lamp for serious industrial work. And on the shop floor, one question always comes up: Why does the cooling design make such a huge difference in power stability and how long the lamp lasts? It comes down to the basics of how high-intensity UVC is made.

The T5 format uses a 15mm tube. It’s compact, which is great because it concentrates the arc into a small space. That concentration is what gives you the UVC power you need. But it also creates a ton of heat. Keeping the arc temperature in a tight range is what keeps the power steady. If the cooling isn’t up to the job, the tube temperature shifts. That changes the electrical resistance, and the output starts to drop.
