The new Honle LED UV Lamp from PPG is set to make life even easier for the many repairers taking advantage of UV cured technology.
With its incredible ability to cure in just three minutes, PPG’s UV8080 UV Cured Primer Surfacer (previously ‘D8080’) has given local repairers a high productivity solution to slash cycle-time and now PPG has launched a high tech new ultraviolet lamp to suit. Engineered and manufactured in Germany by leading brand, Dr. Honle AG, the Honle LED UV Lamp features the latest in LED technology and this means it comes with a host of advantages compared with conventional LED lamps.
Thanks to the precise arrangement of the high-intensity LEDs, it produces a very consistent light distribution, making it easier to target the repair area. LED technology also means that the unit can be switched on and off as often as needed and requires no warm-up or cool down phase. It also features much lower power consumption, along with a far longer service life – in contrast to relatively short-lived traditional mercury lamps. The typical service of an LED is more than 20,000 hours. The ergonomic design of the lamp makes it easy to handle and there is the option to use it in hand-held mode or attached to the handy optional stand. It’s also important to recognised that the Honle LED UV Lamp only emits light in the UV-A spectrum ensuring that it’s safe to use when wearing the appropriate PPE (gloves and goggles are supplied with the unit).
Now available from PPG distributors and Protec distributors, the Honle LED UV Lamp and the UV Lamp Stand can be purchased together as a kit or each can be purchased separately.
