Frequently asked

Which part numbers are listed for the same lamp as the NuArc HT 121 GA?

In published replacement-lamp catalogues the same lamp (same overall length and spectrum) is listed under 5 part numbers: NuArc HT 121 GA, Theimer TR 1700, Ushio 500-0071, BLV MHL 121 HT, Theimer TH 1700. Confirm the length, base and doping of the lamp in your unit before ordering.

Can you supply a replacement for the NuArc HT 121 GA?

Yes — send the part number on your old lamp, a photo of its label and ends, and your exposure unit model. We check overall length, base, doping and power against the original before we quote, and quote within 24 hours.

Why does the doping matter?

The metal added to the mercury fill (iron, gallium or none) sets which UV and violet wavelengths the lamp emits. Your dry film, solder mask, screen emulsion or printing plate is sensitised to particular wavelengths, so the replacement should carry the same doping as the original.

Safety: metal-halide exposure lamps contain mercury and emit strong UV. Never run one outside its housing, wear UV-blocking eye protection when servicing, handle with gloves, and return used lamps for mercury recycling.
