Hi Peter...
With my apologies, for I must have missed some information that you undoubtedly posted about this in another thread.
Does this Arc UV have more output than the earlier Arc UV`s? If so, by approximately how much?
I bought two of them from you about a year ago, but I may get one or two of your present ones if they`ve been upgraded since the time I made those purchases.
Thanks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Your right I posted it on
page 16 of the main Arc thread on Sunday. In fact you posted on the same page.
I guess that shows that forums make for poor reference tools.
The old Arc UV's used the Nichia 375nm unit rated at 1 mw optical power (the same UV LED used in the photons, styluses, etc). The new Arc UV's (shipping to dealers next week) have the new 395 Wilycon/Cree units rated at 12mw optical power. You'll notice a big difference in actual use- not just in the specs. They also are more power efficient making them run longer on a battery change. All in all it was a good change.
We also added the new 3.0 features (HA finish, Chemkote interior, battery, blister pack, etc) to the UV all without changing the price on them (still $44.95 like before).
Here's a
list of uses for UV.
