UV lamps, or ultraviolet lamps, is a device for producing electromagnetic radiations in the wavelengths between those of visible light and X-rays. These lamps are designed to produce UV radiation with maximum efficiency. UV lamps emit ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength range between 400 nm and 100 nm. UV lamps help disinfect or deactivate the RNA and DNA of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens to restrain their ability to multiply. Moreover, they are widely used for air purification, water treatment, and food and beverages disinfection. Due to the lower working costs, smaller size, flexibility to operate at various wavelengths, and reduced power utilization, the use of UV lamps has increased worldwide.
According to the "Coherent Market Insights" Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis of UV Lamps Market.
UV Lamps produce a blue light. This type of light is emitted from an electric current that passes through mercury or other gases. They are often used in tanning booths to disinfect surfaces. They are also used in black lights to make fluorescent paint glow. Some lamps use arc lamps, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. They are not harmful to humans, but may cause damage to some materials. The UV rays that emitted from the lamp are extremely high, so it is crucial that the user wear protective clothing while using it. One should also wear eye protection and long-sleeved shirts without a gap at the cuff and a UV-resistant face shield. Apart from these safety measures, UV-curing equipment is designed to ensure the safety of the products.
UV lamps are more effective than typical fluorescent units and tend to reduce the number of cases of cross contamination in laboratories. As a result, they are less expected to cause a cross-contamination and are more efficient than standard fluorescent units. For this reason, UV lamps are a better choice for primary decontamination. The light is emitted by fluorescent tubes made of fused quartz glass. These devices have a few advantages. They are more efficient than typical fluorescent bulbs and can produce two to three times the amount of energy. However, they should be used with caution as the high temperatures they generate can cause harmful effects to the human body.
The key advantage of UV lamps is that they provide the right source of light for many different areas. UV lamps find use in wide range of applications, most prominently in disinfection and curing. UV disinfection have risen in popularity due to the outbreak of COVID-19 (pandemic). The pandemic has underscored the importance of adopting effective infection prevention and control measures in hospital and community settings. UV-based technologies, such as the UV lamps, represent promising infection prevention and control tool. According to the researchers, more than 99.9% of coronaviruses present in airborne droplets were killed when exposed to a particular wavelength of UV light that is safe to use around humans.
This technology is being widely adopted to kill the coronaviruses, and thus, there is an increase in demand for UV disinfection equipment worldwide. According to International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), UV disinfection technologies can play a role in reducing the transmission of the novel coronavirus, based on current disinfection data and empirical evidence.
