Abstract: An embodiment provides method for controlling lamp output within an array of lamps, including: receiving sensor data corresponding to one of a plurality of lamps within the array, wherein the sensor data comprises an irradiance value from at least one of: within a lamp sleeve and an irradiance value from outside a lamp sleeve; identifying, based the sensor data, a change in an output of the one of the plurality of lamps; sharing the sensor data with other of the plurality of lamps within the array; and adjusting, in response to the sharing, an output of at least one of the other of the plurality of lamps within the array, thereby compensating for the change in the output of one of the plurality of lamps. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a lamp apparatus, including: at least one filament; an amount of amalgam; a heat-sink assembly connected to the lamp apparatus; and at least one control circuit comprising a heating element and a temperature measurement element connected to the at least one filament, wherein the control circuit varies the electrical power delivered to the heating element, thereby controlling an internal temperature of the lamp apparatus relative to a temperature set point. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system, method, and assembly for controlling a power supply for at least one ultraviolet lamp where at least one ultraviolet lamp uses input received from at least one sensor of at least one ultraviolet lamp to measure a characteristic of the at least one ultraviolet lamp and, if based on that at least one sensor, the at least one ultraviolet lamp determines that at least one characteristic of a power supply operatively coupled to the at least one ultraviolet lamp should be changed, generates a command for that power supply to modify that at least one characteristic either by modulating its output or adjusting an output level.
