Viqua SHF-140 UVC Light Bulb for Germicidal Water Treatment

4 Pin Stepped on a Single End - 3 levels (B24)- 80 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb

The Viqua SHF-140 UVC Light Bulb is a 4-pin stepped on a single end - 80-watt germicidal water treatment bulb. The 80 Watts bulb has lamp length of 33.07 inches and the lamp makes use of UV-C light to inactivate and kill bacteria. The high-quality fixture has a high life span and low mercury dosage that meets the demands of the environment. The short UV wavelength of 254 nm emitted by the light bulb enables thorough disinfection and results in altering the genetics of the microorganism. This destroys the microorganisms rendering them harmless. It is necessary to schedule annual replacement of the bulb to ensure efficiency. Even after a year the UV bulb emits light but may have reduced its capacity to kill microorganisms.

We offer two versions of this UV-C bulb; a good quality foreign-made generic replacement unit and an ultra-high quality US-made unit. Both lights are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with the Viqua SHF-140

This bulb is available with a shatterproof coating that in case of damage keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit where is installed. This results in an easy way to dispose of glass if it shatters. You can select this shatterproof option above.

Do I need shatterproof coating?

Although shatterproof coating can lower the intensity of the UV-C bulb by as much as 15%, it is recommended for applications in which it is crucial to avoid potential glass breakage at all costs. These applications include but are not limited to food processing and medical institutions. However, if glass breakage would be inconvenient but not catastrophic, skipping the costly shatterproof coating is quite alright. After all, we do not use shatterproof coating with our glasses and plates at home.
