Profile: Albatross UV is a manufacturer of ultraviolet curing lamps, microwave bulbs, and metal halide lamps. We produce replacement lamps for a wide array of equipment used in ultraviolet curing, screen exposure, pre-press, sanitation, CD & DVD replication, graphic arts, packaging, adhesives, fiber optics, optical media and wood finishing industries. Our microwave bulbs are available in 6" (152.4 mm), and 10" (254 mm) lengths, with power ratings of 300 watts/inch and 600 watts/inch. Metal halide lamps are a special type of medium pressure lamp (with electrodes), in which the spectral output is modified by addition of metal halides to the bulb contents. The three most common additives are iron, gallium, and indium. Gallium creates longer wavelengths. The spectral output of this lamp is shifted strongly into the visible light region. Iron is used to produce a spectral output that exhibits characteristics of both, a mercury lamp and a gallium lamp.
