UV-C lamps

UV-C lamps emit ultraviolet light within the ultraviolet spectrum, specifically at wavelengths around 200-280 nanometers. This type of UV light has germicidal properties, meaning it can inactivate or kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA or RNA. These lamps are used for sterilization in hospitals, water purification, and air disinfection systems. When properly used, UV-C lamps provide an effective way to reduce microbial contamination without chemicals. However, direct exposure to UV-C light can be harmful to skin and eyes, so safety precautions are essential during operation.
