Ultraviolet Lamps
Ultraviolet (UV) lamps emit ultraviolet light, a type of radiation invisible to the human eye, used for various applications. They work by producing UV rays through specialized bulbs that contain gases like mercury or LEDs designed to emit specific UV wavelengths. These lamps are commonly used for sterilization and disinfection because UV light can destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi by damaging their DNA or RNA. They are also utilized in water purification, air purification, sterilizing surfaces, and curing certain materials. Proper safety precautions are essential, as direct exposure to UV light can be harmful to skin and eyes.
