BF727-UVC

Lamps - Cold Cathode Fluorescent (CCFL) & UV

BF727-UVC is a compact, reliable, high-intensity and long-lasting ultraviolet-C (UVC) light source. It is widely used in imaging, testing, or inspection applications. Specifically designed for integration into robotic or automated industrial applications, this light source is both cost-effective and easy to maintain, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications.

The BF727-UVC light source is composed of two components: a cold cathode light tube and a base unit. The cold cathode light tube is the main component of the light source and consists of a sealed tube filled with a mixture of xenon, krypton, and mercury vapor. The tube is coated with a special fluoropolymer material that, when exposed to the electric discharge of the two component gases, produces UVC light.

The base unit consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) that houses the circuit components and power supplies for the cold cathode light tube. The printed circuit board features an LED indicator that shows when the light starts up, and an additional power switch to manually turn the light on or off. There is also a thermal protection circuit that prevents the light from starting if the light tube is too hot.

Working Principle

The BF721-UVC light source produces UVC light via a cold cathode process, or a discharge process. The cold cathode process works by passing an electric current through a sealed tube containing two components gases, xenon and krypton. The two gases produce an electric discharge in the tube when current is applied, which in turn produces UVC light.

When the light starts up, the UVC radiation is generated in a controlled manner, so that the light intensity is consistent over time. This avoid sudden changes in the amount of UVC energy emitted. The base unit handles the power supply and safety control of the light source, and ensures that the light intensity is consistent over its lifespan.

The BF727-UVC light source is ideal for applications where long-term operational performance is important. This light source is designed to withstand operating temperatures from minus 10°C to plus 45°C, and has passed rigorous testing to ensure that it meets safety and performance standards. With its long-term operational performance, the BF727-UVC is an ideal light source for a wide range of industrial applications.
