Standard mercury lamps are fine for some things, but they often just don&rsquo;t hit the mark. That&rsquo;s where gallium iodide lamps come in. We&rsquo;ve designed these to push the UV light deeper into those resist layers, making sure the cure is solid all the way through.</p> <h2 id="the-nitty-gritty-on-power-and-heat">The Nitty-Gritty on Power and Heat</h2> <p>We build these lamps to push out high intensity without blowing out the electrodes. But here&rsquo;s the thing: you have to get the wattage and voltage right for the length of the tube. If you try to cram too much power into a short tube, the quartz envelope gets way too hot. That thermal stress is a nightmare—it can crack the glass or mess up the gallium iodide filling inside. Plus, if your cooling system can&rsquo;t keep up with the heat, you risk scorching your resist. Not a good look.</p>
