SOSCleanroom
Overview

The BIOLUX 8 is an 8W germicidal strip fixture designed to irradiate small areas and exposed surfaces with direct germicidal UV-C. This unit is specified for 254nm operation and is commonly used where the UV treatment zone can be controlled with appropriate safety procedures. SKU: BIOLUX 8 (40-1107). Lamp included.

Key Highlights
  • Mfg. Ordering Code: 40-1107
  • UV Output: 1.6W rated at 254nm
  • Fixture Type: Air & surface irradiating preheat strip fixture
  • Construction: Polished chrome
  • Dimensions: 15" L x 1-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H
  • Rated Average Lamp Life: 6,000 hours
  • What’s Included: Fixture + germicidal lamp
Typical Applications
  • Laboratories and controlled workspaces (application dependent)
  • Cleanrooms and clean areas (use only with appropriate shielding/interlocks/SOPs)
  • Defined irradiation zones for exposed surfaces where access can be controlled
Safety Note 
UV-C is hazardous and can cause serious eye and skin injury. Use only in installations designed to fully shield or interlock the UV source and/or restrict access during operation. Follow OEM guidance and facility SOPs for placement, timers, interlocks, and warning signage.

Germicidal UV: Why 254nm is Used
Germicidal UV (UVGI) inactivates microorganisms by causing photochemical damage to DNA and/or RNA, preventing replication. In engineered systems, results are governed by delivered dose (fluence): UV intensity at the target multiplied by exposure time.
BIOLUX fixtures are designed for direct irradiation of small areas and exposed surfaces, which makes geometry, distance, and shadowing primary performance variables.
Engineering: How the Fixture Produces Germicidal UV
Most germicidal systems use a low-pressure mercury discharge lamp optimized for UV-C emission at 254nm. The fixture/ballast initiates and stabilizes the discharge; the lamp envelope transmits germicidal UV into the treatment zone. In strip-fixture applications, the design intent is straightforward: deliver UV-C into a defined, controllable zone for continuous or scheduled disinfection.
  • Preheat start behavior: preheating electrodes supports reliable ignition and reduces stress versus harsher starting methods.
  • Thermal window: airflow and mounting location can change lamp temperature and UV output—verify performance in your installed geometry.
  • Reflectivity & stray UV: chrome/plated surfaces can enhance distribution but increase the need for shielding and access controls.
Maintenance: Output Preservation is a Program
UVGI performance degrades if lamps and reflectors accumulate dust or deposits. Establish a routine inspection/cleaning schedule and track operating hours. BIOLUX strip fixtures are commonly managed with a planned replacement interval based on hours and observed conditions.
  • Clean when deposits are visible: residue reduces transmitted UV and changes delivered dose.
  • Track effective life: rated average effective lamp life is commonly listed as 6,000 hours for this fixture class.
  • Re-verify controls after service: confirm covers, guards, mounting integrity, and interlocks/timers before returning to operation.

Safety & Controls (Non-Negotiable)
UV-C is hazardous. Direct-irradiation fixtures should only be used with engineered and administrative controls appropriate to the installation. Good practice includes shielding, timers/key control, interlocks where applicable, warning signage, and controlled access procedures.
  • Never view an operating UV source directly outside of a rated enclosure.
  • Restrict access during operation: use occupancy controls/SOPs suitable for your facility.
  • Environmental handling: follow site policy and local regulations for mercury-containing lamp disposal.
Cleanroom Considerations
  • Controlled changeout: minimize packaging debris and particulates; treat as a minor maintenance event.
  • Low-lint handling: stage clean nitrile gloves and cleanroom-appropriate lint-free wipes prior to service.
  • Program management: document operating hours and service dates; incorporate UV maintenance into SOPs.
SOSCleanroom Support Note
SOSCleanroom (Specialty Optical Systems, Inc.) has supported specialty lighting distribution partnerships for 40+ years. For UV systems, best outcomes come from matching fixture identifiers (e.g., BIOLUX 8 / 40-1107) and validating performance at the application level (delivered dose).
