Guaranteed Replacement Ultraviolet (UV) Bulb - 2 Pin (Miniature Bi-pin) on Both Ends - 20 Watts - 17.17 Inch Length Lamp - Worry-Free Performance for 1 Year

Water Gem - WG 8 UV Light Bulb For Germicidal Water Treatment is a 20 Watts UV bulb that has a lamp length of 17.17 inches. The germicidal bulb gives you a worry-free performance for a whole year after which we recommend that you replace the bulb for better performance of your system.

The T5-shaped bulb is made using ceramic as its base material and has an average lifespan of 10,000 hours. With a wavelength of 254 nm, the germicidal water treatment bulb has two pins on both ends base that helps in destroying bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens present in water.

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.
