What is the difference between UV LED light source and mercury lamp?

But one thing needs to be taken account is that UV LED needs to be equipped with air cooled chiller to take away the extra heat.

In the curing business, mercury lamp is gradualy replaced by UV LED. So what is the difference between these two? 

1.Lifespan. The lifespan of UV LED is around 20000-30000 hours while the one of mercury lamp is only 800-3000 hours;

2.Heat radiation. The temperature of UV LED rises below 5℃ while the one of mercury lamp can rise by 60-90℃;

3.The preheating time. UV LED can start 100% UV light output once it starts while for mercury lamp, it takes 10-30 minutes tor preheat;

4.Maintenance. The maintenance cost for UV LED is less than mercury lamp;

To sum up, UV LED is more advantageous than mercury lamp. But one thing needs to be taken account is that UV LED needs to be equipped with air cooled chiller to take away the extra heat. If you are not sure what chiller brand to choose, you can have a try on S&A Teyu industrial air cooled chiller
