It’s the old reliable. We lean on these things because they hit hard and fast, making sure coatings and inks cross-link exactly when they should. But let&rsquo;s be honest: for a long time, we&rsquo;ve been flying blind.</p> <h2 id="the-heat-problem">The Heat Problem</h2> <p>When you&rsquo;re pushing 120W/cm, things get hot. Really hot. To keep that UV spectrum stable, the mercury vapor has to be just right. You need a ballast that can handle the strike voltage <a href="https://o-yate.com">without</a> any of that annoying flickering. But here is where people usually trip up: the cooling. If your airflow isn&rsquo;t dialed in for this kind of heat, your <a href="https://o-yate.net">quartz</a> envelope is going to stress out and burn out way too soon. I see it all the time. Engineers focus on the power but forget that heat has to go somewhere.</p>
