The problem
We've been having many problems lately with the UV light turning off on its own or ruining the print after copying the same image 10 times without changing anything – how can you help me
Cause and analysis
The UV light progressively dims during the printing session and does not recover after breaks: behavior consistent with UV lamp aging or degradation of the reactor/ballast that does not maintain rated power
The reduction in brightness is not due to temporary lamp overheating (which typically recovers after cooling), but to degradation that persists even when cold: suggests actual lamp wear or instability of the power supply circuit
The print is ruined after 10 repeated cycles: it is possible that the drop in UV intensity makes polymerization insufficient or that the customer perceives a quality degradation that coincides with the light dimming
Solution proposed by GPX
The UV lamp has reached end of life or is in an advanced aging phase; UV lamps have a nominal lifespan (typically 500–2000 hours depending on the type) beyond which the light output progressively decreases even if the lamp does not switch off completely
