Ultraviolet Disinfecting Light Bulbs


Tubular Bi-Pin Base	Twin Tube Two-Pin Wedge Base

Twin Tube Four-Pin Base	Tubular Screw-In Base

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.

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.
