Germicidal lamps

Ultraviolet bactericidal lamps of the BactoSfera BS series are a source of ultraviolet radiation with bactericidal action (UV-C spectrum with a peak wavelength of 254 nm).

The radiation of a bactericidal lamp kills (inactivates) viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, yeast, spores, allergens, and other microorganisms, including influenza viruses of all types (flu A, B, C), viruses causing ARI and acute respiratory infections, SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causing COVID-19, and the Omicron coronavirus strain. The absorbed dose of ultraviolet radiation by DNA and RNA molecules leads to the death of the microbe.

Designed for use in bactericidal irradiators, air recirculators, tube-quartz units, disinfection cabinets, ventilation systems, water purification systems, etc.

Application area:

1. Air disinfection.
2. Surface disinfection.
3. Water disinfection.
4. Sterilization of medical instruments and everyday objects.
5. To prevent microbial contamination of food products, packaging, and refrigeration equipment.

The operation of bactericidal lamps should be carried out at ambient temperatures from 10 to 50 °C.

Safety measures:

1. Bactericidal lamps contain mercury (Hg) in gaseous or liquid form. If a bactericidal lamp breaks, carefully collect all large pieces of the lamp in rubber gloves and sweep up small shards. Wash the area where the ultraviolet bactericidal lamp broke with a 1% potassium permanganate solution. Thoroughly ventilate the room.
2. Brief presence of a person in a room with an operating bactericidal lamp is allowed only with eye protection against ultraviolet radiation (e.g., UV protective goggles). Exposure to a bactericidal lamp without protective equipment can cause painful burns to any area of the body (facial skin, hands, mucous membranes of the eyes, cornea).
3. Bactericidal lamps that are malfunctioning or broken must be handed over by consumers to mercury fluorescent lamp disposal points.
4. During the operation of an ozone bactericidal lamp, ozone (O3) is released, which in high concentrations is toxic to the human body and can cause serious harm to the respiratory system. Ozone has a characteristic smell. After prolonged use of the lamp, it is recommended to ventilate the room. After using ozone-free bactericidal lamps, ventilation is not required.

* The service life of a bactericidal lamp depends on the quality of the starter-regulator equipment and the number of on/off cycles.

How to choose a bactericidal lamp for home

Today, a huge number of various quartz lamps are produced. To buy a suitable device for a specific situation, it is necessary to understand how they differ from each other.

The main difference is by type of action:

• ozone — during operation, such a disinfecting lamp contributes to the formation of ozone;
• ozone-free bactericidal lamp — an antibacterial lamp that does not generate ozone during operation.

It is important to remember that ozone is poisonous to humans and animals, so after treatment, the room should be thoroughly ventilated.

By design, devices with installed lamps can be of open or closed type. Open-type irradiators disinfect both the air and surfaces in the treated rooms. Closed-type devices, or recirculators, sterilize only the air that passes through them. Recirculators can be used in the presence of people.

By installation method, room disinfection lamps are divided into:

• stationary — can be mounted on the floor, wall, or ceiling;
• portable — ideal for home use, as the entire living space can be treated with one device, moving it from room to room.

Medical bactericidal lamps

An antibacterial lamp for use in hospitals and clinics must strictly meet the requirements for medical equipment in terms of safety and effectiveness. This is due to the need to prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections and neutralize the activity of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Depending on the purpose of the medical facility room, open irradiators, closed recirculators, and combined devices may be used. At the same time, sanitary treatment with open irradiators and combined irradiator-recirculators must be carried out according to a strict schedule in the absence of staff and patients. Some mistakenly call an antibacterial device a bactericidal lamp. This definition is incorrect, as the word "bactericidal" means "having the ability to kill microbes." The prefix "anti" is used to express opposition.

Antibacterial Lamp for Office and Public Places

Public places require special attention to ensure infection safety. However, since it is quite difficult to perform thorough ventilation after each irradiation cycle in such rooms, and to provide all visitors with protective goggles, it is recommended to install recirculators with ozone-free bactericidal lamps.

To make it easier for you to find and order a room disinfection lamp with the required specifications, the BactoSfera website provides filters by power, lamp effective life, current and voltage, types of bases and bulbs, dimensions, and price.

Advantages of Ultraviolet Bactericidal Lamps

Room disinfection lamps have proven their effectiveness. Numerous studies show that sufficiently long exposure to ultraviolet light destroys up to 99.9% of pathogenic microflora: viruses, bacteria, fungi, spores, and other microorganisms.

Ultraviolet bactericidal lamps, compared to ozone and other disinfection methods, have several advantages:

• Safety — the ozone-free antibacterial lamp does not generate ozone during operation, so ventilation after use is not required;
• Environmental friendliness — bactericidal lamps do not leave any residual harmful substances after operation, unlike some other chemical disinfection methods, meaning they do not pollute the environment;
• Wide range of applications — bactericidal lamps are used in medicine, agriculture, the food industry, for disinfecting rooms of various purposes, including residential spaces, as well as for disinfecting drinking water, technical, and wastewater.
