Proven Proprietary UVC Germicidal Technology

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is emitted in various wavelengths, including UVA, UVB and UVC, with emissions in the UVC range providing highly effective germicidal properties. UVC germicidal lamps effectively eliminate threats from bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold spores and many other microorganisms by penetrating the DNA of the cells and rendering them useless and unable to replicate. The effect is instant and safe with no harmful byproducts or contaminants such as using chemical disinfection methods. 

Ozone producing germicidal lamps emit wavelengths in the range of 185 nm and are used to eliminate foul odor and airborne contaminants. Ozone germicidal lamps are effective in surface, water and air sterilization and are used in commercial, industrial and residential environments. It is always best to check with an ultraviolet radiation specialist and experienced UV lamp manufacturer to be sure that your lamps meet the specifications required for your germicidal process.

Control Odor with UVC Germicidal Technology

UV germicidal lamps which are designed to emit ozone provide effective and cost-efficient sterilization and deodorization. Ozone producing lamps are proven to meet strict air quality regulations in many industrial applications including removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor causing contaminants. UV germicidal lamps are used in many industrial applications worldwide, commercial properties and residences to remove foul odor from the air.

Germicidal lamps are engineered to emit various effective wavelengths such as 254 nm which instantly eliminates bacteria and viruses by penetrating the DNA of cells and rendering them useless and unable to replicate. Germicidal lamps designed to emit 185 nm produce ozone which safely removes odor causing contaminants such as sulfides, mercaptans and ammonia. Ozone breaks these harmful organisms into less complex molecules through a process called oxidation.

UV air sterilization and oxidation systems breakdown water vapor molecules and ambient oxygen into hydroxyl free radicals and short-lived oxygen. Hydroxyl and oxygen provide instant breakdown of gases with very little byproducts.

How Do Ultraviolet Lamps Kill Bacteria?

Ultraviolet (UV) lamps harness the power of ultraviolet radiation which is a proven disinfectant and deodorizer. Ultraviolet, or beyond violet, is electromagnetic energy which is actually invisible to the human eye.  UV light is measured in wavelengths, referred to as nanometers (nm),  and falls into three basic categories of UVA, UVB and UVC light.

UVC radiation when emitted at precisely 254 nm is proven to be highly effective at eliminating bacteria, viruses, mold spores, fungi, mildew, harmful microorganisms and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). UVC germicidal lamps are proven to instantly eradicate these harmful contaminants in many surface, water and air purification systems.

When UVC wavelengths emitted at 254 nm are exposed to these harmful microorganisms, the UV radiation instantly penetrates the DNA of these living cells and alters the DNA so they cannot replicate. Harmful microorganisms that cannot replicate are considered to be harmless. UV radiation emitted at 185 nm produces ozone which is proven to oxidize, sanitize and deodorize foul odors.

LightSources Offers UVC Germicidal Lamp Solutions

The LightSources Group is recognized worldwide as an authority on UV lamp design and engineering for a multitude of industries including UVC germicidal applications. UVC germicidal lamps are typically low pressure, Mercury lamps which are engineered to emit precisely 254 nm of UVC radiation while producing a Mercury arc. These powerful germicidal lamps contain a blend of gases such as Neon and Argon or custom blends.

The LightSources Group is experienced in designing custom phosphor blends to reach the desired wavelength emission. Germicidal lamp bodies are typically manufactured in fused quartz designed to emit 185 nm and 254 nm, a quartz and titanium blend which blocks out 185 nm to prevent ozone production or a soft glass lamp body.

LightSources also offers surface sterilization lamps which emit 222 nm and are Mercury free. This UVC germicidal lamp warm-up instantly with 100% effectiveness without requiring the typical warm-up time of other UVC germicidal lamps.  The Excimer series is highly effective for surface sterilization and can be found in many commercial, industrial and residential applications.
