Why Buy Genuine LUMINOR UV Lamps & Replacement Parts
Do I Need to Buy a Genuine LUMINOR UV Lamp?
Article Summary: A replacement lamp can look similar and still be the wrong part. Genuine LUMINOR components give you a manufacturer-published part number, the correct lamp key where required, model-specific lamp and sleeve matching, and the component specified for applicable NSF/ANSI 55 configurations.
When it is time to replace the UV lamp, quartz sleeve, sensor or another component in your LUMINOR system, it can be tempting to choose a part based on appearance, lamp length or price. The better starting point is the model number on your UV chamber.
LUMINOR publishes exact replacement parts for BLACKCOMB, BLACKCOMB-HO and RAINIER platforms. Matching the system model to the specified part helps ensure the replacement you order is designed for the system you already own.
Model-specific fit
Part numbers are tied to exact LUMINOR models.
Lamp key where required
Applicable BLACKCOMB systems use LIGHTLOCK.
Model-specific fit
Follow the lamp life specified for your platform.
Matched components
Lamp and sleeve combinations are model-specific.
What Makes a Genuine LUMINOR Lamp Different?
LUMINOR states that its replacement lamps use a proprietary internal coating designed to provide consistent UV output across the rated lamp life. The important point for the shopper is simple: visible light is not a measurement of UV performance.
A lamp can still glow while UV output has declined
Do not wait for the lamp to go dark. Replace it according to the service interval specified for your exact LUMINOR platform.

LIGHTLOCK™: Why the Small Lamp Key Matters
On applicable BLACKCOMB 5.1 and 6.1 controllers, LUMINOR's LIGHTLOCK system uses an encrypted lamp key. The controller can identify a missing or incorrect key and can display lamp-key or incorrect-lamp messages.

Why the Exact LUMINOR Part Number Matters
Two lamps can look similar while being intended for different systems. ESP should link exact part numbers in the article to the corresponding PDPs so shoppers can go from education to the correct product without another search
