Quality Lamps Enhance Benefits of UV Air Purifier Systems

UV air purifier systems are highly effective at disinfecting and purifying the air, proven to eradicate bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, spores, dust mites, and many other contaminants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). UVC lamps generate UV radiation at 254 nanometer (nm) which is required to penetrate the nucleic acid of the harmful cells, altering the DNA to render it harmless and unable to reproduce. UV radiation emitted at 185nm generates ozone which effectively removes odors from the air.

UV air purification systems are proven to be very effective at providing clean and healthy air and offer many benefits across a multitude of applications worldwide.

UV Air Purifiers Improve Health in Many Environments

UV air purifiers are used in many environments and commercial applications to improve the health and well-being of residents and visitors. UV germicidal lamps are commonly used in HVAC systems in public settings such businesses, hospitals, schools, labs and are also available for residential use to provide clean and healthy air to homeowners. UV air purification promotes the health of employees when used in commercial settings, improving productivity and reducing downtime associated with airborne illnesses.

Clean air is especially important to patients in hospitals and medical facilities as these individuals may already have a compromised immune system. Medical facilities and scientific labs must also have clean air free from germs and live organisms. Schools can be a breeding ground for the spread of germs and illnesses. Utilizing UV air purification in schools and campuses can drastically cut down on the spread of germs and diseases, decreasing student and faculty illnesses.

Benefits of UV Air Purifier Systems

UV air purifier systems provide many benefits over other methods of air purification. These benefits can be quite significant and include the following:

• Quick results – UV air purification systems effectively kill harmful contaminants in just a few seconds of exposure
• Easy to Operate – UV air purifiers are very simple to maintain as there is no need to purchase, store, or dispose of any chemicals
• Low Maintenance – Very little if any maintenance is required other than changing a bulb and keeping your system clean

• Safe to Operate – UV air purification systems are safe to operate. While contaminants are eradicated at the optimum wavelength, UV germicidal lamps are completely safe for human exposure
• Affordable and Cost-Effective – High-quality UVC germicidal lamps offer the most value with long-lasting high performance providing highly cost-effective air purification solutions

UV air purification provides these advantages and many others. With fast and effective results, ease of use and maintaining and affordable options with long lasting high-quality lamps, UV germicidal lamps provide unsurpassed performance and value.

Working with an experienced UV lamp manufacturer will ensure that you receive the most effective UVC germicidal solution. Quality lamps are the key to any successful UV germicidal application.

LightSources Offers High-Quality UV Air Purifier Lamps and Accessories

LightSources and our strategic European partner, LightTech, offer high-quality UV air purifier lamps and accessories proven to provide long-lasting, high-performance. We design, engineer and manufacture UV C germicidal lamps used in disinfection and purification systems around the world. Most of our UV germicidal lamps are Low and Medium Pressure Mercury Discharge lamps.

Our Low-Pressure UVC lamps are similar in operation and construction to standard fluorescent lamps although our germicidal lamps are made with quartz or soda-lime glass and do not include the phosphate coating of fluorescent lamps which allows for more UVC radiation to pass through.

Low-pressure amalgam lamps are ideal in situations requiring long-term germicidal applications, especially in environments with fluctuations in ambient temperature. The Medium Pressure Mercury Discharge lamps are similar to the High-Intensity Discharge lamps, as they emit a broadband UV emission rather than a narrow band.

Our standard quartz germicidal lamps warm up fast in only 30 to 60 seconds and convert electricity up to 40% into UVC radiation. LightSources offers patented spot amalgam technology with robust designed filaments which withstand operating on higher currents.

UVC germicidal lamps are proven to be safe and effective, eliminating harmful bacteria, viruses and microorganisms from air, water and surfaces. UV air purifier systems provide clean and healthy air in homes and businesses around the world.

UV Water Purifier Using UVC Radiation

A UV water purifier is an extremely effective and cost-efficient method of purifying and disinfecting water for various applications. UVC radiation is used in UV water disinfection systems worldwide, proven effective at cleaning and purifying water in various forms. Light is broken into colors and measured by wavelengths in nanometers (nm).

Ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light measuring in the range of 10nm to 400nm, with the most effective UVC germicidal radiation occurring between 100nm to 280nm. UVC technology is used in UV water purification systems around the world to deliver a safe and highly effective method of cleansing water for numerous purposes.

UV radiation targets the nucleic acid of the cells in bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms naked to the human eye, altering the DNA of these cells and rendering harmful contaminants completely harmless. As the cells are destroyed, these microorganisms are unable to replicate which renders them dead as they cannot reproduce to infectious levels.

UV Water Purifier Applications

A UV water purifier provides effective and cost-efficient water purification for a multitude of applications worldwide. UVC germicidal technology offers technologically advanced, effective, and cost-efficient germicidal solutions for the following water applications:

• Aquaculture
• Drinking water
• Life Sciences
• Pool and Spa
• Wastewater
• Water Reclamation
• and many others

Aqua Culture Benefits from Water Purifier Systems

UV water purifier systems offer valuable disinfection services to marine life in aquariums and hatcheries, providing safe water for fish to thrive free from dangerous bacteria and contaminants. UVC germicidal lamps purify water with the optimum wavelength of 254nm, which effectively destroys viruses, bacteria, and harmful contaminants. UV water purification is also effective at destroying harmful contaminants and parasites such as the myxozoan parasite, preventing disease in fish in both saltwater and freshwater applications. The high-output quartz germicidal lamps and low-pressure amalgam lamps by LightSources enhance the life and well-being of fish and marine life, with the most effective and cost-efficient UV aqua culture solutions available today.

UV Water Purifier Provides Safe Drinking Water

UV radiation is utilized in municipalities to disinfect drinking water, enhancing the health and well-being of people across many populations. UVC lamps effectively reduce chloramines and chloride in water, oxidizing water without the use of harmful by-products. Ozone-producing lamps at 185nm effectively kill virtually any virus form, while UV radiation at 254nm disinfects water by targeting cells’ DNA to eradicate any ability to reproduce. UVC lamps used in water purification systems offer many benefits over the use of chemical disinfectants. Benefits of UV radiation for drinking water include:

• Eradicates harmful organisms instantly including those resistant to chemical disinfection such as cryptosporidium and giardia bacterium
