An amalgam lamp is a special type of ultraviolet germicidal lamp that allows for higher UVC output and a larger temperature range in which the lamp remains operational through a technology that regulates the mercury vapor pressure in the lamp.
Unlike standard lamps the mercury is not left free within the lamp but is fixed to gold amalgam spots along the axis of the quartz tube.
Optimal mercury vapour pressure is maintained within an amalgam lamp by this amalgam spot which absorbs and releases mercury in the lamp as the temperature of the lamp fluctuates.
These amalgam lamps maintain a stable ultraviolet output at higher temperatures, they can be powered at higher wattages, generating more UVC.
