UV lamp for insect trapping

When you’re running high-volume insect trap lines, the two things you can’t negotiate with are consistent insect attraction and adhesive curing that sticks—every shift. If the UV output starts drifting, you’ll see uneven cure, adhesive migration, and traps that miss the mark. We built our lamp specifically for insect trapping around a stabilized high-pressure mercury vapor source, tuned to deliver a defined spectral peak at 365nm, with irradiance you can measure right at the trap face. What matters under the hood We use a compact arc-tube geometry married to tight reflector tolerances, so peak irradiance stays repeatable over the life of the lamp. Expect stable output for 5,000+ hours, with less than 5% drop under rated current. The reflector uses a dichroic coating to cut IR heat on the adhesive while keeping UV-A reflectivity high. The specs are grounded in real trap assemblies: 200–400W/in options, 100–240V operation, and standard quartz end-seal terminations so you can integrate quickly with existing OEM setups. Why it holds up on the line Insect traps need two things at once: strong UV-A for attraction, and a curing window that keeps the adhesive tack-free without cooking the substrate. Our lamp keeps the 365nm dose consistent along the web path, so cross-linking stays predictable and you don’t have to throttle line speed just to make the adhesive behave. Because we source and assemble in our own shop, we can offer factory-direct pricing on bulk orders—without compromising spectral stability or arc control. The shop-floor details that bite Mounting tolerances matter. Hold the reflector-to-lamp gap within spec, or you’ll get hot spots and uneven curing right where the adhesive line runs. Check fixture cooling and lamp orientation, too—airflow and alignment directly impact output stability. For retrofits, match lamp length, base, and lead spacing to your socket and reflector, or you’ll introduce variance the moment the job hits the floor.
