Doubling a flood lamp’s curing area doesn’t come free — the same LED array spreading its output over more square inches means less energy lands on any given point, and a model picked for its footprint alone can leave a process under-dosed even though the lamp is running exactly as specified. Incure’s L-Series™ spans nine models specifically so curing area and intensity get selected together, not one after the other.
Nine Models, Curing Area Trades Against Intensity
L11 and L22 sit at the small end — 1″×1″ and 2″×2″ curing areas — and deliver the highest intensity in the line, 4,300 mW/cm² at 2-inch working distance. L33 and L44 step up to 3″×3″ and 4″×4″ areas at 3,100 mW/cm². L64, L88, L1010, and L1212 span 6″×4″ up through 12″×12″ at 1,900 mW/cm², and L1414 covers the widest field in the range at 14″×14″, with intensity down to 950 mW/cm² to do it. The pattern holds across the whole line: intensity falls as curing area grows, so a part that’s small but needs a fast, high-energy cure calls for a different model than a large panel where uniform coverage across the full field matters more than peak output at any one point.
One Wavelength Per Unit
Every L-Series™ model is available in 365, 385, 395, or 405 nm, but — same as Incure’s L9000™ spot lamp line — each unit ships factory-configured to a single wavelength rather than switchable in the field. Confirming the adhesive or coating’s peak absorption spectrum has to happen before the order goes in, since intensity figures for 385/395/405 nm and 365 nm aren’t identical on several models (L88 through L1414, for example, run measurably lower at 365 nm than at the longer wavelengths) and the wrong wavelength choice can’t be corrected after installation without replacing the unit.
No Warm-Up, Unlike Mercury Arc
L-Series™ lamps reach full intensity instantly at switch-on, with no warm-up period, no cool-down requirement, and no shutter mechanism needed — a direct contrast to mercury arc flood lamps like Incure’s F-Series™, which need several minutes to stabilize before output is usable. That instant-on behavior matters most on lines with frequent stop-start cycles, where a mercury arc lamp’s warm-up delay either forces the lamp to stay powered between parts or adds dead time to every restart.

Chamber Compatibility Splits by Model
L11 through L44 pair with Incure’s C131C, C131D, and C141C UV cure chambers; L88 through L1414 step up to the larger C191C chamber. Enclosing any L-Series™ lamp inside its matched chamber improves dose uniformity across the curing field and eliminates stray UV exposure outside the intended zone — the same uniformity concern covered in Incure’s guide to why a UV cure chamber stops delivering a uniform dose, which applies whether the lamp inside is an L-Series™ LED array or a conventional mercury-arc source.
Control and Automation
Every model in the line — not just the larger ones — supports foot-switch, PLC, and RS232 signal inputs, switchable between timer mode and continuous mode. That puts flood curing on the same automation footing as Incure’s L9000™ spot lamp, so a line running both flood and spot cure stations can trigger either from the same PLC signal architecture rather than maintaining two separate control schemes. The same PLC/RS232 logic extends directly into inline conveyor curing: L-Series™ lamps synchronize to upstream equipment the same way Incure’s CDM™ UV conveyor does, dropping into a production rate set by the line rather than by the lamp.
Where the L-Series™ Fits
PCB conformal coating cure, underfill sealing, and SMD component bonding across full board areas favor the mid-range models, where uniform flood exposure prevents shadowing and partial cure at board edges — a failure mode that’s easy to miss on a bench sample and expensive to trace once it’s in the field. Precision optics work — lens bonding, prism assembly, and filter lamination — depends on the same spatial uniformity across the curing area for optical clarity and component alignment. Batch curing of UV conformal coatings, dome coatings, and encapsulants uses the larger irradiation areas (L1010, L1212, L1414) to cover multiple components per cycle rather than indexing parts through a smaller field one at a time. In lab and qualification settings, the timer and continuous-mode control support adhesive qualification and cure-schedule development with the same repeatable output the lamps deliver in production, so a schedule validated on the bench transfers directly to the floor without a separate re-qualification pass on a different lamp.
