Preheat, instant-start, rapid-start, single-pin, two-pin, and four-pin lamp configurations matched to the intended equipment.
Match the source, power, and installation.
A lamp base establishes a physical interface, but its appearance does not tell the whole electrical story. Pin count, keying, contact assignment, starting method, and the lamp specification all belong in a replacement inquiry. Glass Automated Products reviews UV lamp configurations using complete markings, equipment documentation, and clear views of both ends. Preserve any unique base, lead, or connector feature when recording the part.
We quote preheat, instant-start, and rapid-start requirements together with the base and electrical configuration specified for the system. Single-pin, two-pin, four-pin, and custom connection requests are available for review. A four-pin lamp is not automatically compatible with every four-pin socket, and the installed ballast must support the required lamp operation. Include the ballast label and wiring diagram rather than inferring pin functions from a photograph.
Measure overall length using stated reference points, and show whether pins or leads are included. Describe the base dimensions, pin spacing, orientation, and any keyed or asymmetric features. For leads and harnesses, identify connector markings, conductor and insulation requirements, lengths, and strain relief. We can review the lamp and mating electrical accessories together so the resulting quote identifies a complete interface. Installation and wiring must follow the agreed component and equipment documentation.

| Requirement | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Ends | Photographs and dimensions of both lamp ends and bases |
| Contacts | Pin count, spacing, keying, orientation, and defined pinout |
| Starting | Preheat, instant-start, rapid-start, or manufacturer-specified method |
| Supply | Ballast part number, wiring diagram, and lamp operating data |
| Lengths | Reference points, pin/lead inclusion, harness lengths, and supports |
Works for
Replacement UV lamps, OEM source assemblies, lamp connectors and harnesses, maintenance identification, and equipment with a specified starting and base configuration.
Questions before you order
Is pin count enough to identify a lamp?
No. Base geometry, contact assignment, starting method, and the exact lamp operating specification must also be reviewed.
Why do you need photographs of both ends?
Ends can differ in shape, contacts, leads, or markings. Seeing both helps avoid missing an interface or identification detail.
Can you quote a custom lead arrangement?
Yes. Provide connector identity, pinout, lengths, conductor and insulation requirements, and the operating environment.
Can I change the starting method when replacing a lamp?
Only within a system design that supports the proposed lamp and supply. Do not assume the original ballast will operate a different starting configuration.
Can the matching socket be included?
Yes. Include the lamp and mating socket information so the required physical and electrical interface can be confirmed.
