UV Bulb 55 Watt
Germicidal UVC Lamps WATTAGE: 55W
AVERAGE LIFE: 10,000 Hours
Due to the sensitive nature of electrical products, consumables such as bulbs and ballasts do not carry a warranty. It is recommended that you install surge protectors to avoid premature failure of these items.
UV Bulb 55 Watt is a known disinfectant for air, water, and nonporous surfaces. UVC radiation has effectively been used for decades to reduce the spread of bacteria, such as tuberculosis. For this reason, UVC lamps are often called “germicidal” lamps.
As soon as the ballast converts the input voltage to the 400 ~ 1,000 volts required to spark the lamp. Once the lamp is sparked and arc is achieved, the ballast limits the voltage to a lower working voltage to keep the lamp illuminated, whilst regulating the power draw of the lamp.Without a ballast, the fluorescent lamp would keep increasing the electric current flowing through it until it self-destructed. The job of the ballast is to control the amount of current running through the lamp so that does not happen.
What is a UV Sterilizer?
An ultraviolet light sterilizer is a water filtration process for your home. The system uses UV light to kill bacteria and microorganisms in your drinking water. Because there are no chemicals involved in the process, it is a safe and effective option for filtering your home’s drinking water.
How does it work?
As water flows through the ultraviolet light sterilizer, it is exposed to UV light from special lamps. The frequency of the UV rays that are emitted kills the bacteria by destroying the DNA of the microorganisms. This means that the microorganisms can no longer duplicate. This process is effective against viruses, e. coli, bacteria, giardia, and other harmful microorganisms, and it is also good for killing harmful microorganisms that are resistant to chlorine.
What are the benefits of a UV Sterilizer?
There are many benefits of using an ultraviolet light sterilizer for filtering your water:
- The process is extremely effective. It kills the majority of bacteria, leaving you with clean and delicious water.It is a convenient filtration option. The system doesn’t require much maintenance besides annual check-ins.
- As mentioned before, ultraviolet light sterilizers are safe. This is because your water isn’t exposed to harsh chemicals while filtering out contaminants.
- The process leaves your water odorless and tasteless. The last thing you want your water filtration system to do is make your water smell or taste bad. Ultraviolet light sterilizers will not affect the taste or smell of the water.
- Because the water flows straight through, the whole process is rather quick. Unlike reverse osmosis, which is another water filtration option, ultraviolet light sterilizers don’t have a holding tank. Therefore, the overall process is faster.
- Some other systems filter out the contaminants and discard the wastewater. This system doesn’t create any wastewater because all of the water that goes through is sterilized and ready for drinking. It is environmentally-friendly because it helps to conserve water
- The entire system is completely automatic, so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of anything.
