Hamamatsu Photonics’ newly expanded LIGHTNINGCURE® LC-L5G series offers a strong alternative to metal halide lamps for a wide range of UV Curing applications

Hamamatsu Photonics has expanded its UV LED range to include a variety of new options, offering higher intensity, mixed wavelength and larger area sources amongst others. The LCL5G range covers a wide array of application areas such as bonding, printing, labelling and more.

The new LIGHTNINGCURE® LC-L5G offers a strong alternative to metal halide lamps, whilst delivering many other key benefits. 

The key advantages of using UV LEDs includes instantaneous on/off switching, which significantly improves efficiency and subsequently extends the lamp’s lifetime (20,000+ hrs). The units are compact and have an easy to maintain window which allows for much easier integration into systems. The LC-L5G range has low heat emission and emits no VoCs, allowing for a greener light source, capable of curing on many heat-sensitive substrates.

Other sources in the LIGHTNINGCURE® range are also available for various printing formats (such as inkjet, flexo etc.).
