What is the intensity of UV light?
The intensity of UV radiation is measured in the units of milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) which is energy per square centimeter received per second. Also, it is measured in the units of millijoules per square centimeter (mJ/cm2), which is energy received per unit area in a given time.
What does mJ cm2 mean?
The old term “mW-s/cm2” (milliwatt-second per square centimeter) is equivalent to “mJ/cm2”, since a “W-s” is the same as a “J” (joule). The units “mW/cm2” (for fluence rate or irradiance) are often confused (as you have in your question) with the units “mJ/cm2” (for fluence or UV dose).
How do you increase the intensity of UV light?
Increasing time, reduce the distance between objects and lamps, and increasing the numbers of lights are three ways to enhance the intensity of UV dose.
How many watts does a UV light use?
Currently, most of these lamps operate at 300 to 600 watts per inch with some newer systems using lamps that generate up to 1000 watts per inch. So a 30 inch UV bulb may be capable of an output of 30,000 watts. They also operate at very high temperatures (850 to 950 Celsius or 1550 to 1750 Fahrenheit).
What is the most powerful UV light?
The ultra bright PowerMAX UV Blacklight Flashlight produces a powerful ultraviolet flood light effect beam that illuminates objects over 30 feet away. Powered by an industry leading 100 LED high intensity, long distance bulbs which produce 395nm wavelength UV light….

What is a true black light?
Blacklight is the emission of ultraviolet (UV-A) light that illuminates fluorescent objects or surfaces, body fluids, etc. This combined with the low power consumption of LED technology and being maintenance free due to its long life makes this the ideal bulb to install wherever true UV-A light is needed.
What bacteria glows under black light?
Nearly invisible in ordinary light, Glo Germ™ (fluorescent plastic particles) glows under ultraviolet light. Glo Germ™ does not contain real germs (ewww!), but it allows a person to see hidden “germ-like” residue under a UV light.
