Preferred Label : amalgam lamp;
IUPAC acronym : UV;
IUPAC definition : Intense source of i ultraviolet /i (185 and 253.7 nm) radiation produced by an electrical
discharge in a lamps with the inner side covered by an amalgam of mercury with another
element such as indium or gallium to control the vapour pressure of the mercury. These
lamps have 2-3 times the UV output for the same wavelength as the standard low-pressure
mercury lamp.;
