TUV T8 lamps are double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in professional water and air disinfection units. TUV T8 lamps offer constant UV output over their complete lifetime, for maximum security of disinfection and high system efficacy. Moreover, they have a long and reliable lifetime, which allows maintenance to be planned for in advance.
Benefits
Security of effective disinfection over the useful lifetime of the lamp
Security of effective disinfection over the complete lifetime of the lamp
Maintenance can be planned in advance, virtually eliminating the need for expensive spot replacement of prematurely failed lamps
High system efficacy because it is not required to over-design the purification system to maintain effectiveness of disinfection
High system efficacy because it is not required to over-design the purification system to maintain effectiveness of disinfection
Maintenance can be planned in advance, virtually eliminating the need for expensive spot replacement of prematurely failed lamps
Good environmental choice because of lowest amount of mercury
Features
Short-wave UV radiation with a peak at 253.7 nm (UVC) for disinfection purposes

Protective inside coating ensures constant UV output over the complete lifetime of the lamp
Protective inside coating ensures constant UV output over the complete lifetime of the lamp
Long lifetime of 18.000 hours (based on operation on a Philips electronic driver)
Long and reliable lifetime with the lowest percentage of lamps that fail prematurely in the market
High reliability with the lowest percentage of lamps that fail prematurely in the market (90% of all lamps still operate on full output and quality after 15,000 hrs if operated on a Philips electronic driver)
Lamp glass filters out the 185 nm ozone-forming line
Special lamp glass filters out the 185 nm ozone-forming radiation
High Output versions available for optimum UVC output per lamp length, allowing for reduction of system size

Warning & Safety
A lamp breaking is extremely unlikely to have any impact on your health. If a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes and remove the parts, preferably with gloves. Put them in a sealed plastic bag and take it to your local waste facilities for recycling. Do not use a vacuum cleaner.
