    I could hardly believe it when I saw this video about UV lights show up on KZread because I had just been wondering about them. That same day I had told my husband that the air purifier in our room needed new UV light bulbs. Soon after I started wondering just how effective UV lights are. Thank you so much for answering my questions.

    You can tell the real germicidal UV-C lights by the type of bulb, the wavelength and the power output. First off, the cheap LEDs DO NOT WORK! The best cost effective solution is the low-pressure mercury vapor lamps. These are similar in technology as neon lights but with a different gasses. The mercury vapor emits germicidal ultraviolet light at 253.7nm (254nm) and is not visible to the eye. The blue color you see is usually emitted by the Xenon gas which is only included to stabilize and make the tube more efficient. This bulb also has to be powerful enough to be effective. We sell a 5 watt rechargeable wand which we thinks is the minimum power to make the sanitizer effective with convenient treatment times. It is fast to use and covers more than twice the area than the handheld shown in the video. The battery operated unit shown in this video is rated at 2 watts, has a 3 1/4" long dual tube, and does not offer much power or have much treatment area making it inconvenient to use, especially for larger objects. We also have a specially designed collapsible box to place your items to be sanitized that works with our 5W wand. By placing items in the box, bacteria, viruses and mold are destroyed by both the UV-C and the small and safe amount of ozone created by it. There are LED's that are being developed emitting a wavelength of 222nm which is an effecting germicidal and also safe to humans, but the cost is prohibitive and no consumer products use them. Feel free to visit our website at ULTRAVIOLETBEAMS dot com or simply do a search for ULTRAVIOLETBEAMS in one word to reach our site.

    These low power devices are going to work in a matter of seconds as they say. Normally, it would take about 20 to 30 minutes to be effective. If you want an effective UVC sanitizer, you would need to purchase one of the commercial units for about $150. These units can put out about 45 Watts of UV light. You definitely will have to wear gloves and protective glasses to use it!
