Guaranteed Replacement Ultraviolet (UV) Bulb - 4 Pin Single End - 38 Watts – 31.22 Inch Length Lamp - Worry-Free Performance for 1 Year

The General Electric 46630 - UV Light Bulb For Germicidal Water Treatment is a 38 watts water treatment bulb that gives you a worry-free performance for an entire year. The UV light bulb has a four-pin on a single end base and a wavelength range of 254nm. With an average lifespan of 10,000 hours, the germicidal water treatment bulb uses UV-C light to destroy and kill microorganisms present in water. The UV light bulb has ceramic as its base material and is compatible with Germicidal OEM water disinfection filters, UV sanitizers, and Ultraviolet water purifiers. It does not make use of chemicals and their by-products, so it is an environmentally friendly option. The lamp uses high-intensity UV light to destroy bacteria and other pathogens present in the water.

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.
