About Sylvania Medical Lamps

Sylvania Germicidal UV-C lamps emit 253.7nm ultraviolet light for highly effective air, water, and surface disinfection.

Important Safety & Installation Notes

• UV-C Radiation Hazard: Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp. Serious eye and skin injury can result. Use appropriate shielding and personal protective equipment.
• No Bare Hands: Never touch the bulb envelope with bare skin. Oils cause hot spots leading to premature failure. Use clean gloves or lint-free cloth.
• Do Not Exceed Rated Voltage: Operating above rated voltage dramatically shortens lamp life. Verify equipment supply voltage before installing.
• Extreme Heat Warning: This lamp operates at very high temperatures. Never touch when lit or recently switched off.
• Fragile: Inspect envelope for cracks before installation. Do not drop or shake.
• Ozone Warning: Use only in ventilated areas. Ozone-Free (OFR/OF) versions are designated for applications requiring ozone-free operation.
