    Disinfect air, water, and surfaces without chemical cleaners. These light bulbs use shortwave ultraviolet radiation, also called UV-C, to kill viruses and bacteria. They’re often used in surface cleaning lights, air purifiers, and water treatment systems.
    Ultraviolet radiation can harm your skin and eyes. For safety, install these bulbs in fixtures with UV protection or wear UV-protective gear while using them.
    Rated Life—The length of time these bulbs will effectively kill germs. Replace them after the listed period, even if they still light up.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations. Those that cannot be sold to outside the United States are due to pesticide regulations.

    Kill viruses, bacteria, and other germs without chemical cleaners. These lights mount under a hood or above a workstation and use UV light to disinfect hard, smooth surfaces. Ideal for food processing areas that require frequent cleaning, they use the same trusted technology hospitals rely on between patients. These lights are made in an EPA-registered facility to meet pesticide device requirements. For safety, always wear UV-protective gear while the light is on.
    Powder-Coated Aluminum Housing—A hood-shaped housing and reflective inner surface directs light towards the target surface.
    Light Intensity @ Distance—Measures the power of ultraviolet radiation from these lights. The effectiveness of UV-C disinfection depends on light intensity and exposure time—higher intensity shortens disinfection time. To increase intensity, move the light closer to the object.
    Rated Life—Replace bulbs after the listed time to maintain germicidal performance.
    Cannot Be Sold To—These lights cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations.

    Wire-Terminal-Base Miniature Light Bulbs

    Wire terminals allow you to connect these bulbs to a power source through a panel. These bulbs are sized to fit into tight spaces such as signs, instruments, indicators, and flashlights. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.
    Ultraviolet LED

    Ultraviolet LED bulbs are often used to sterilize surfaces, cure adhesives, and detect leaks. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye.

    Carry these lights throughout your facility to disinfect hard, smooth surfaces and objects without chemical cleaners. They use UV-C light to kill viruses, bacteria, and other germs in seconds. These lights use the same trusted technology hospitals rely on to disinfect rooms between patients. They’re made in an EPA registered facility and meet pesticide device requirements. For safety, always wear UV-protective gear and the included UV-blocking eye protection while the light is on.
    Plastic Housing—Our most economical option. These lights are lightweight and deliver strong light intensity for quick disinfection. They’re less durable than lights with a metal housing.
    Hanging Hook—Two swivel hooks let you hang these lights horizontally. Mount both on one surface to disinfect below and keep the light hands-free.
    Test Strips—Confirm your light is disinfecting properly with these included strips. They change color when exposed to germicidal UV-C light.
    Light Intensity @ Distance—Measures the power of ultraviolet radiation from these lights. The effectiveness of UV-C disinfection depends on light intensity and exposure time—higher intensity shortens disinfection time. These lights deliver higher intensity than other similarly priced lights, so they disinfect quicker. To increase intensity, move the light closer to the object.
    Rated Life—Replace bulbs after the listed time to maintain germicidal performance.
    Cannot Be Sold To—These lights cannot be sold to Canada due to import regulations.
