The tungsten lamp produces light in the visible spectrum 320 to
1100 nm.
The deuterium lamp (UV-lamp) available produces light in the
ultraviolet spectrum 190 to 360 nm.
In the overlap zone from 320 to 360 nm, either the deuterium lamp
(UV-lamp) or the tungsten lamp can be used for measurements.
The lifetime of the lamps is influenced
by on-off operation and the length of time in use.
Typical use is to turn the instrument on for the entire 8–10 hour
shift, and then off until the next day.
Note: In general, avoid on/off cycles of the lamp; this shortens the lamp's
life span. For maximum life, turn the lamp off only if it will remain off for at
least 4–5 hours.
The lamp switches on automatically
if a lamp is needed for the selected program
if the instrument is operating inside the lamp's spectrum
