Resonance lamp that contains mercury vapour at pressures of about ( ; ). At , such a lamp emits mainly at and . They are also called germicidal lamps. There are cold- and hot-cathode as well as cooled electrode-less (excited by microwaves) low-pressure mercury lamps. The Wood lamp is a low-pressure mercury arc with an added fluorescent layer that emits in the UV-A spectral region ( - ).
