The Shine LED Lamp Kit consists of new LED UVA Lamps, prewired bracket kit for easy retrofit, and installation guidelines on how to retrofit an existing fluorescent exposure frame using a qualified electrician. The retrofit kit is compatible with a wide range of third-party exposure frames.

Fluorescent tubes degrade quickly and inconsistently over time, requiring significant maintenance. In comparison, LED lamps experience minimal degradation and last up to 6 times longer than UV fluorescent tubes. They virtually eliminate tube changes and exposure recalibrations.

The Flexographic Technical Association’s  FLEXO Magazine highlighted the Shine LED Lamp Kit when it achieved a double recognition of the FTA Technical Innovation Award and the FTA Sustainability Excellence Award. Read the Shine LED Lamp Kit article.

Yes. The Shine LED kit works with FLEXCEL plates and LAMS flexo plates. The efficacy of Shine LED Lamp Kits on LAMS flexo plates was determined through a series of platemaking and printing experiments run by an external platemaking service provider with expertise in evaluating LAMS flexo plates. Test results demonstrated that compared with fluorescent, Shine LED produced high quality plates and enabled significantly faster main exposure times across all types of LAMS plates. ​Exposure with Shine LED resulted in comparable printing results​.

• Shine LED kits are retrofitted to existing exposure units, reducing waste by keeping existing equipment out of the landfill
• LED lamps last longer than fluorescent bulbs, so there are fewer tubes to dispose of, with no hazardous waste
• Shine LED kits decrease energy consumption by eliminating the warmup period experienced with fluorescent bulbs; plus LED lamps use less energy when operating
• UV LED exposure produces a more consistent flexo plate that further reduces wastage on press

The kit comes with a prewired bracket kit for easy installation and guidelines on how to retrofit an existing fluorescent exposure frame using a qualified electrician. View Shine LED installation video

Shine LED Lamp Kits allow you to save money over other LED exposure units. Plus, with Shine LED Lamps, you can extend the life of your current exposure unit and there is no need to retrain staff or find addition floor space. A qualified electrician can install Shine LED in just a few hours.
