Medium Pressure Mercury

Medium pressure mercury arc lamps are a broad spectrum source of UVC light.  Lamp lengths are between 10 and 140 centimeters with the wattage as high as 180 watts per centimeter.  These lamps produce the full range of the mercury spectrum but they are generally modified through the use of special quartz to construct the lamp envelope to produce a desired wavelength such as 185 nanometer or 254 nanometer.  Lamp ends may be configured selected from the listing of available connection hardware in the current Philips catalog.  These lamps are widely used in water purification, surface exposure and air purification.
