Introduction
The LLE-1 Low Pressure Mercury Lamp is a widely used discharge lamp that serves multiple important roles in laboratory and medical applications. This lamp is commonly utilized for wavelength calibration of optical measuring instruments and as a disinfection lamp in biological and medical settings. Its high efficiency and good color rendition make it an ideal choice for various applications that require a stable and reliable light source.
The lamp operates by utilizing Mercury in an excited state, which produces light when the arc discharge occurs within a small fused quartz tube mounted inside a larger borosilicate glass bulb. As the mercury gas heats up and the pressure rises, the brightness of the lamp increases, ultimately reaching a steady state. The light produced by the mercury lamp is essential in several spectroscopic applications due to its specific spectral lines, which can be used for precise wavelength calibration.
