UV Germicidal Bulbs

Ultraviolet-C lamps for air, surface, and equipment disinfection in controlled environments.

UV germicidal bulbs are designed to emit short-wave ultraviolet (UV-C) energy, most commonly around 254 nm, a wavelength proven to inactivate microorganisms by disrupting their DNA and RNA. In cleanrooms, laboratories, healthcare support areas, and controlled manufacturing spaces, these lamps are used as part of supplemental disinfection strategies for air handling units, pass-throughs, enclosures, and specific equipment—helping reduce bioburden between manual cleaning cycles.

Unlike general UV lighting, germicidal UV bulbs are application-specific safety components. Proper lamp selection depends on wavelength output, lamp length, wattage, operating temperature, and housing design, and they must always be installed in enclosed or interlocked systems to prevent direct personnel exposure. When applied correctly, UV-C lamps can support contamination control programs by helping limit microbial growth on surfaces and within airflow paths, particularly in high-risk or continuously operating environments.

SOSCleanroom provides UV germicidal bulbs selected for reliability, consistent UV output, and compatibility with existing fixtures and systems.
