Claim 8:
9. An ultraviolet lamp system for controlling lamp output within an array of lamps, comprising:
at least one sensor;
at least one source of ultraviolet radiation operatively coupled to the at least one sensor;
a processor operatively coupled to the at least one source of ultraviolet radiation; and
a memory device that stores data and instructions executable by the processor to:
receive sensor data corresponding to one of a plurality of lamps within the array, wherein the sensor data comprises an irradiance value from at least one of: within a lamp sleeve and an irradiance value from outside a lamp sleeve;
identify, based upon the sensor data, a change in an output of one of the plurality of lamps;
identify a cause of the change in the output of the one of the plurality of lamps, wherein the cause is selected from the group consisting of: issue with a lamp sleeve, issue with a fluid surrounding the one of the plurality of lamps, and issue with the one of the plurality of lamps, wherein the identifying a cause comprises comparing the lamp output within the lamp sleeve to the lamp output outside the lamp sleeve;
share the sensor data with other of the plurality of lamps within the array; and
adjust, in response to the sharing, an output of at least one of the plurality of lamps within the array, thereby compensating for the change in the output of one of the plurality of lamps.
