Sankyo Denki G15T8 UV Bulb 15 Watt 55 Volt Germicidal Lamp
What Is UV Germicidal Light and How Is It Used?
Ultraviolet germicidal light is a powerful disinfection method that harnesses a specific part of the UV spectrum to inactivate harmful microorganisms. A g15t8 UV bulb, such as the Sylvania Ultraviolet G15W, emits short-wave UV-C light that penetrates and damages the nucleic acids of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, rendering them harmless without the need for chemicals.
This technology is commonly applied in cleanrooms, laboratories, HVAC systems, and water purification units. A 15 watt UV lamp like the G15T8 is engineered to deliver the right dose of UV-C energy to ensure disinfection while remaining safe for use in controlled environments.
One of the most common applications is in water systems, where UV light helps eliminate bacteria and prevent algae growth. It is also used to purify air and sanitize surfaces, making it a versatile tool in both residential and commercial sanitation practices.
The use of g15t8 UV bulbs has been a trusted and proven method for over 30 years, offering a reliable, low-maintenance solution for environments requiring consistent microbial control.
