Lamp

To make sure a UV-C disinfection system keeps protecting against pathogens such as moulds, viruses and bacteria, it is important to replace a UV-C lamp in time. The average effective lifespan of a UV-C lamp is 9.000 hours. An amalgam lamp has a longer lifespan of approximately 16.000 hours.

Although the lamp will still continue to work after this period, its disinfecting value will rapidly decline from then on. To still guarantee its disinfecting value, it is important to replace the UV-C lamp in time.
