How to choose UVC lamps at Covid19

Today, when we are threatened by COVID-19, influenza and other viral and bacterial diseases, we want to effectively disinfect surfaces, air, water and rid them of viruses and microorganisms. One way is to use UV-C germicidal lamps. There are a large number of UV-C lamps available today, but how do you make the right choice? Is a UV-C LED lamp effective? Reputable manufacturers give a guarantee of effectiveness if the recommended procedures and components are followed. Why avoid cheap UV-C sources without CE approval? Why buy from a retailer that has been selling germicidal lamps since before the outbreak of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 ( 2019-nCoV ) ?

Do you know how to choose the right UVC lamp for disinfection and sterilization of air and objects? The best and most trustworthy way is to look into the history of the manufacturer's long history in the industry. experience in the industry and has been on the market for a few months, and if their products are used in professional applications. We can observe a lot of e-shops that did not even know what a UV-C lamp is until recently and all of them suddenly offer the best, the lowest quality and the most effective disinfectant lamps. Then there are companies that claim that LED lamps of a few watts can disinfect a room in seconds. The products that started rolling out in large numbers from China after the start of the Covid 19 viral epidemic are a case in point. None of these products are certified and cannot have CE at all, but they are cheap and one is easily persuaded for the price. Efficiency is the most important thing with these devices and with UVC LED products it is exactly the opposite. The efficiency is very low to insufficient. I don't want to directly denigrate the competition and smear their products, but I really don't recommend all these and especially LEDs from China! I will explain why. Going back to the beginning for a possible credibility check, none of the reputable manufacturers, here I will mention the industry leader Philips, producesmanufactures and supplies any TUV product in LED for the obvious reason that it is not as efficient as a conventional UVC lamp.

Two European manufacturers, Philips and Osram, are the largest producers of these UVC sources with radiation in the wavelength 250nm, which is ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum that kills viruses, bacteria and primitive organisms. (After the Corona pandemic began, tests were conducted that clearly demonstrated that it was proven to kill Covid 19). And even between these two reputable manufacturers, there is a big difference in effectiveness for the same type of UVC fluorescent lamps. This is a known fact among the professional community, which can be confirmed by measurements. Philips germicidal fluorescent lamps are proven to be the most effective source of disinfection and sterilization of both air and water. Philips has long been the only manufacturer to develop not only these UVC light sources, but also the drivers or electronics that power these sources. This development is unique in that the components are developed together for maximum efficiency and durability.

The components we sell that make up the UVC lamps are from Philips. Germicidal lamps fitted with these Philips branded components have high efficiency and also a guaranteed lifetime of at least 8,000 hours.

Invest more money in something that makes sense and don't waste resources just because it is cheaper !!!
