The UVC light technology is capable of sterilizing and killing 99.9% of germs such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, yeast, and molds. These specialized UV lamps from CureUV produce a high quantity of damaging ultraviolet light that destroys harmful microorganisms without altering the composition of water, its pH, or its taste. This method of ultraviolet purification makes water safe for human consumption without the side effects of chemicals such as chlorine. Our UV lamps are tested and certified by our expert quality assurance teams, ensuring you get the best performance out of your UVC system.

This bulb is available with a shatterproof coating that in case of damage keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit where is installed. This results in an easy way to dispose of glass if it shatters. You can select this shatterproof option above.

Do I need shatterproof coating?

Although shatterproof coating can lower the intensity of the UV-C bulb by as much as 15%, it is recommended for applications in which it is crucial to avoid potential glass breakage at all costs. These applications include but are not limited to food processing and medical institutions. However, if glass breakage would be inconvenient but not catastrophic, skipping the costly shatterproof coating is quite alright. After all, we do not use shatterproof coating with our glasses and plates at home.

The UV lamp starts instantly and makes use of a coil filament that operates hot. The UV lamp is managed by the life of electrodes and works well for the following applications that require UVC intensity:
