什么是UL？

UL是美国保险商试验所（Underwriter Laboratories Inc）的简写。UL安全试验所是美国最有权威的，也是世界上从事安全试验和鉴定的较大的民间机构。UL主要从事产品的安全认证和经营安全证明业务，其最终目的是为市场得到具有相当安全水准的商品，为人身健康和财产安全得到保证作出贡献。就产品安全认证作为消除国际贸易技术壁垒的有效手段而言，UL为促进国际贸易的发展也发挥着积极的作用。

为什么需要做UL认证？

1、整个美国市场都十分注重产品安全；消费者及购买单位选购产品时，都会选择有UL认证标志的产品。

2、UL历史有100多年，安全之形象在消费者及政府都根深蒂固，如果您不直接售卖产品给消费者，中间商人也会要求产品有UL认证标志，以令产品畅销。

3、美国消费者及购买单位对企业的产品更有信心。

4、全美国联邦、州、县、市政府一共超过四万个政区，都承认UL认证标志。

光太UL电子镇流器

目前市场上很多紫外线灯专用电子镇流器参照UL认证标准，绝大多数是过不了测试规范的，实际使用中安全隐患极高。其中部分产品还存在镇流器兼容性差、输出频闪、灯管功率严重不足、功率因数等等的问题。

一根标称18W的UVC紫外线杀菌灯管，连接某些镇流器时灯管输出功率不足8W，这些都极大程度地限制了产品的实际使用范围。

针对这些问题，常州光太电子科技近期推出了一系列完全满足UL认证标准的灯管驱动电源，该产品融合了光太技术人员在照明行业、电源行业浸淫多年的产品经验，以及对紫外线灯镇流器的深刻理解。是市场上屈指可数的可满足UL认证的产品。适配北美120V交流电压输入，电源转化效率高达90%。

北美市场法规很健全，市场也很规范。市场对紫外线杀菌灯管的需求，变得越来越紧俏。在同质化的市场竞争中，如何抢得先机，开发出满足UL认证要求和客户需求的灯管产品，是每一家紫外线灯企业都需要去认真思考的问题。

常州光太电子科技有限公司是一家专业从事紫外线杀菌灯管和配套电子镇流器生产、销售和技术服务为一体的高新技术企业。公司产品充分面向北美照明市场，电子镇流器通过UL、FCC等等北美地区最严苛的安规、电磁兼容和能效认证要求。

常州光太电子科技是目前市场上为数不多的专业厂商，可以提供品类齐全紫外线杀菌灯管及驱动电源方案。如需咨询或采购产品，欢迎访问光太电子科技的官网:https://www.bestuvlamp.com/

 What is UL?

UL （Underwriter Laboratories Inc.） The UL Safety Laboratory is the most authoritative in the United States and the largest private institution engaged in safety testing and identification in the world. UL is mainly engaged in product safety certification and operating safety certification business. Its ultimate goal is to obtain products with a relatively safe level for the market, and to contribute to the assurance of personal health and property safety. In terms of product safety certification as an effective means to eliminate technical barriers to international trade, UL also plays an active role in promoting the development of international trade.

Why do we need UL certification?

1. The entire American market attaches great importance to product safety; consumers and purchasers will choose products with UL certification marks when purchasing products.

2. UL has a history of more than 100 years. The image of safety is deeply rooted in consumers and the government. If you do not sell products directly to consumers, middlemen will also require products to have UL certification marks to make the products popular.

3. American consumers and purchasing units have more confidence in the company's products.

4. The federal, state, county, and municipal governments in the United States have a total of more than 40,000 administrative districts, all of which recognize the UL certification mark.

LIGHTBEST UL electronic ballast

At present, many electronic ballasts for uv lamps on the market refer to UL certification standards, and most of them cannot pass the test specifications, and the safety hazard in actual use is extremely high. Some of these products also have problems such as poor ballast compatibility, output stroboscopic, serious insufficient lamp power, power factor and so on.

A regular 18W UVC germicidal lamp, when connected to some ballasts, the output power of the lamp is less than 8W, which greatly limits the actual use range of the product.

In response to these problems, LIGHTBEST has recently launched a series of electronic ballasts that fully meet UL certification standards. It is one of the few products on the market that can meet UL certification. Compatible with 120V AC voltage input in North America, the power conversion efficiency is as high as 90%.

The North American market is different from the domestic market, its regulations are very sound, and the market is also very standardized. The market demand for ultraviolet germicidal lamps has become increasingly tight. In the homogeneous market competition, how to seize the opportunity and develop lamp products that meet UL requirements and customer needs is a problem that every UV lamp company needs to seriously consider.

LIGHTBEST is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production, sales and technical services of ultraviolet germicidal lamps and supporting electronic ballasts. The company's products are fully oriented to the North American lighting market, and the electronic ballasts have passed the most stringent safety regulations, electromagnetic compatibility and energy efficiency certification requirements in North America such as UL and FCC.

LIGHTBEST is one of the few professional manufacturers in the market, which can provide a complete range of ultraviolet germicidal lamps and driving power solutions. If you want to consult or purchase products, please visit the official website: https://www.bestuvlamp.com/
