Germicidal Lamps
A germicidal lamp is a special type of lamp which produces ultraviolet light (UVC). This short-wave ultraviolet light disrupts DNA base pairing causing thymine-thymine dimers leading to death of bacteria on exposed surfaces. Germicidal UVC lamps are also used to produce ozone for water disinfection. Used in:
- Pharmaceutical / Pharmaceutical labs
- Food processing / manufacturing
- Air, water, and surface disinfection
- Hospitals
- Laboratories
- Biomedical
- Micro-organism control

*Note:
These types are also available in single-ended/four pin variations, designated as “-S400”.
- Available in standard packages of 4, 12, and 30 each.
- All values are nominal. Straight lamps are measured from base-face to base-face.
Length tolerances are:
- For double ended Bipin straight lamps: ±1.3mm.
- For Slimline and all single ended lamps: ±3.0mm.
- Approximate output at 253.7nm at 100 hours use under laboratory conditions. These values are subject to wide variations due to application conditions.
- Rated average useful life is defined as the average life of a group of lamps when operated under laboratory conditions, 8 hours on, 20 minutes off.
