Product Overview

GE 40696 GBX9/UVC – 9W UV-C Germicidal Compact Lamp (G23 2-Pin)
The GE 40696 (GBX9/UVC) is a high-performance germicidal twin-tube lamp engineered for advanced air and water sterilization. Delivering a concentrated 2.4-watt output at the 254nm wavelength, this ozone-free lamp effectively inactivates 99.9% of microorganisms by disrupting their DNA. Designed with a standard G23 2-pin base, it is the professional choice for HVAC disinfection, pond sterilizers, and medical sanitation systems.
High-Intensity Germicidal Performance
The GE Healthcare Series GBX9/UVC utilizes "soft glass" technology to provide effective germicidal radiation without generating harmful ozone. Its compact PL-S twin-tube design is ideal for space-constrained sterilization units. By emitting short-wave UV radiation with a peak at 253.7nm, it effectively prevents the reproduction of bacteria, viruses, and algae in water purification and air disinfection systems.
Primary Applications
- Aquatic Safety: Ideal for pond and aquarium UV clarifiers to eliminate green water and pathogens.
- HVAC Disinfection: Effectively treats coil and airstream contaminants in residential and commercial units.
- Water Purification: Used in point-of-use systems for high-purity laboratory or residential water.
- Surface Sanitation: Suitable for medical and laboratory disinfection cabinets and specialty fixtures.
