Abstract: A curing assembly for curing of inks and the like comprises at least one array of UV LEDs 18. A reflector 4 with an elongate reflective surface 14 partly surrounds the array 18 and has an opening for emission of radiation towards a substrate. A lens 24 is positioned between the array 18 and the opening.

Abstract: Lamp systems, lamp assemblies, and methods of operating a lamp system are provided. The lamp system includes a lamp head and a lamp assembly having at least one end fixture for securing the lamp assembly in the lamp head. A data carrier is mounted to lamp assembly. The data carrier is configured to store an identifier, or operational data, or data representing the number of hours of operation, or data representing the lamp type associated with the lamp assembly, or any combination thereof. A data reader is configured to read information stored on the data carrier. A controller is operable to process the information read from the data carrier. The data carrier may alternatively store data representing the number of hours of operation and the lamp system may further include a data writer for updating the stored data to reflect operation of the lamp assembly.

Abstract: A lamp assembly comprising an elongate source of radiation, a reflector with an elongate reflective surface partly surrounding the source and having an opening for emission of radiation down towards a substrate for curing a coating thereon. The reflective surface has a generally concave profile and the source is located near the base of the concavity. The reflector includes two reflector elements each having a shaped surface which combines with the other when the elements are held in a first relative position to form a cavity in which the source is located and on the surface of which the reflective surface is provided. The source is mounted to be movable with one element to a second position relative the other element in which the source is located in a user accessible position.
