This produces a lot of heat in the LEDs which needs to be removed as efficiently and as quickly as possible for maximizing their lifetime, reliability and performance. To this end, good <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/blog\/thermal-management-in-uv-led-curing-systems\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">thermal management<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> is crucial.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For a low intensity, cost-sensitive application requiring a compact form factor, a convection cooled lamp would be most suitable. With a higher intensity requirement, provided that the space is available to allow some increase in form factor, a fan-cooled solution may be ideal. Where space is restricted, but high intensity is a must, then a water-cooled solution may be required.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\">Assess UV LED Curing Compatibility and Cost<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Compared with traditional lamp systems, LED systems offer significant benefits over the life of the lamp. Mercury lamps have short lifetimes and so require frequent replacement. LEDs allow instant-on\/off, resulting in lower operating costs and have extended life which reduces maintenance costs.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For bigger UV LED setups, replacing the entire lamp can be expensive and cause production delays. A solution to this is to use stackable or modular lamps. Stackable lamps can be put next to each other, creating a larger unit. Each lamp can be powered separately or connected to a shared power supply. Modular systems are similar but are designed to be part of a complete setup and can&#8217;t work independently.
