Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for exposing a person to ultraviolet radiation in tanning wavelengths which is emitted from a discharge lamp having a plurality of grooves formed in its outer periphery along a helical path. The discharge lamp includes, inter alia, an elongated vitreous tube, first and second electrode assemblies and a coating on the interior the interior of the tube. The coating is applied on an interior of the tube along the entire length for emitting ultraviolet radiation in tanning wavelengths when a voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes. In a first representative embodiment, the plurality of grooves are interconnected and the helical path is continuous. Alternatively, the plurality of grooves can be axially offset and the helical path can be discontinuous.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for exposing a substrate to ultraviolet radiation emitted from a discharge lamp having regions of varying intensity along its length. The discharge lamp includes, inter alia, an elongated vitreous tube, first and second electrode assemblies and a coating on the interior the interior of the tube. The elongated vitreous tube has an outer periphery and axially opposed first and second ends which define an axial length for the tube therebetween. The outer periphery has a plurality of regions defined along said axial length, wherein a first region extends over a predetermined first portion of said axial length and has a helical groove path defining a series of axially spaced apart grooves formed therein. The first region emits ultraviolet radiation having an intensity greater than that emitted from a second region of the outer periphery.
