CureUV Brand UVC Bulb for American Ultraviolet SM-20-C
Single Pin Double Ended – Cold Cathode – 24 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb
Our CureUV brand Replacement UVC Light Bulb for American Ultraviolet SM-20-C is a 24-watt single-pin double-ended UV bulb. The UVC bulb measures 24 inches and can last up to 10,000 hours. This UVC light bulb usually has up to 12 months of life after which we recommend replacing it for optimal effectiveness.
This lamp uses UV-C light to inactivate and kill bacteria, molds, protozoa, viruses, and yeasts. With its extended lifespan and low mercury dosage, this fixture aligns with environmental requirements. The germicidal water treatment bulb operates within a wavelength range of 254 nm, efficiently disrupting the genetic makeup of microorganisms, and rendering them incapable of reproduction.
This bulb is available with a shatterproof coating that in case of damage keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit where is installed. This results in an easy way to dispose of glass if it shatters. You can select this shatterproof option above.
Do I need shatterproof coating?
Although shatterproof coating can lower the intensity of the UV-C bulb by as much as 15%, it is recommended for applications in which it is crucial to avoid potential glass breakage at all costs. These applications include but are not limited to food processing and medical institutions. However, if glass breakage would be inconvenient but not catastrophic, skipping the costly shatterproof coating is quite alright. After all, we do not use shatterproof coating with our glasses and plates at home. The UV lamp starts instantly and makes use of a coil filament that operates hot.
