High Wavelength UV mercury lamp systems

Instant drying, energy savings, elimination of anti-marking spray powder and cylinder jackets, and removal of heat along with speed, uptime, and curing production consistency, are the top reasons for adopting UV LED lamp systems over traditional methods of drying according to AMS President and CEO, Steve Metcalf. "There is a growing, global industry movement towards eco-friendly UV LED based curing, and we are thrilled to highlight the recent successes from our customers and partners of this exciting technology at led high bay light next week," said Metcalf.
LED systems from AMS can be deployed as 100 percent standalone LED curing solutions, or can be combined with high efficiency standard UV ARC lamp modules, known as C-LED Titanium UV modules, for maximum effect and energy savings on the widest range of LED and existing UV energy curable inks, coatings and varnishes.
Unlike other forms of high reaction energy curing, including Low Energy and High Wavelength UV mercury lamp systems that attempt to mimic the output of LED through the use of an iron-doped mercury bulb, the XP5 Series LED UV system from AMS reduces the energy requirement by a half, and does not require a UV prepared press for installation. In addition, the lifetime and curing consistency of the ozone and mercury-free XP5 LED lamps do not degrade every 750-1000 hours like their mercury lamp (Hg) counterparts. And damaging heat is not emitted into the press or sheets.
Sixty Cree LED luminaires illuminate the South Lake Tahoe store, generating significant energy savings compared to the fluorescent, metal halide and halogen fixtures used at Raley’s existing Fair Oaks, Calif. location. Cree’s interior and exterior fixtures deliver exceptional color rendering, light quality and distribution and allow the use of fewer fixtures than required with traditional lighting.
The new Cree lighting system includes Cree 304 Series™ recessed soffit luminaires and Cree CR24™ troffers in the convenience store along with Cree 304 Series recessed canopy luminaires installed over the fuel canopy deck and Cree 227 Series™ recessed soffit luminaires in the car wash bay.led flood light wall-mount security luminaires, as well as post-top and arm-mounted luminaires provide further exterior lighting in the parking lot.

“Implementing energy-efficient LED lighting supports our goal of reducing overall energy consumption at new stores and in upgrades to our 128 locations,” said Randy Walthers, energy and utility manager.who met our needs with high-quality Cree LED lighting equipped with a sophisticated control system for remarkable savings and light quality.”
