Ster-L-Ray 688A45 Replacement Cold Cathode U-Shape Lamp
2 Pin on a Single End – Cold Cathode – 21 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb
The Ster-L-Ray 688A45 Replacement Cold Cathode U-Shape Lamp has an average lifespan of 10,000 hours after which it is recommended that you replace the light bulb even if it emits light. The U shape lamp is 100% compatible to Atlantic Ultraviolet Model 688A45.
The 26 Watts bulb is completely compatible with germicidal OEM water disinfection filters, ultraviolet purifiers, and UV sanitizers. The UVC light technology is believed to sanitize and kill over 99.99% germs in the water. The lamp bulb works effective against bacteria, molds, virus, protozoa and yeast. People believe that UV water purification provides a safe solution and this method of sterilization is a purely physical process and does not alter the pH, chemistry or taste of water. This method is both economic and environmental friendly and is a much better option to chemicals and their bi-products. The UV lamps emit wavelength energy of 254 nm and this energy reacts with the genetics of the microorganisms.
The germicidal water treatment bulb comes with a shatterproof coating that protects the lamp during damage. The coating also keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit. This results in easy disposal of glass if it shatters and renders it easy to operate the system. The UV lamp starts instantly and makes use of a coil filament that operates hot. The UV lamp is managed by the life of electrodes and works well for the following applications that require UVC intensity:
