The UV Lamp is a luxurious yet expendable item in Pikmin, as it's not needed to be retrieved in order for Olimar to get off the planet. Captain Olimar says that the UV Lamp is so bright that he has to wear a sun visor just to look at it. It's great for tanning, but it doesn't have a relation to the S.S. Dolphin's flight capabilities. It's the lightest part in the game. In Pikmin 2, the Gherkin Gate is where this part was.
Collecting the Part
It is placed high upon a ledge accessible only by Yellow Pikmin, and Olimar must go through a maze to get to it. At least ten Yellow Pikmin are necessary to get the part, and the black stone wall to the right of the landing site must be destroyed with nine Bomb Rocks. There is a rocky, maze-like area to the right of the torn down wall. The Pikmin should be swarmed against the walls when navigating up the pathways. They then must be thrown up onto the ledge, where they should pick up the part. Spotty Bulbears and Dwarf Bulbears might be in the way back if they haven't been defeated.

Trivia
- Despite the UV Lamp's great similarity to a light bulb in appearance, Olimar notes on the Stellar Orb in Pikmin 2 that there is no technology like a light bulb on Hocotate.
- This item was supposed to make an appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, but was replaced with the Cobalt Necktie.
- This ship part is the lightest in the entire game, needing only ten Pikmin can carry it.
- UV stands for ultraviolet, a range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths.
