General Questions

What is the difference between an IPL lamp and a laser lamp?
There is very little visual difference between a laser lamp and an IPL lamp. First Light will design the lamp, including cathode type, gas type, gas pressure, quartz type and finishing style to exactly suit the application.
What is your MOQ?
Our MOQ for non stock lamps is 5pcs.
Why are your lamps more expensive than lamps from China?
The lamps that we produce are competitively priced and provide the performance and lifetime equal to that of the OEM lamp. We don’t pretend to compete on price with Chinese manufactured lamps as we feel that our UK manufactured lamps are of far superior quality to those lamps produced in China.
Do your lamps perform the same as the OEM lamp?
The performance of the lamp is often very closely linked to the the overall health of the system. If the system is well maintained then there should be no reason to see a difference in performance from your current vendors lamp! In some cases using our lamps result in better lifetimes or overall performance.
