BAIMNOCM UVC Sanitizer Light Bulb Ozone Free, Germicidal UV Lamp 25 Watt, 254nm Weavelength UV-C Disinfection lamp for Basement E26 Base

The light bulb started smoking as soon as it was switched on. You are not meant to be in the room at the same time that this bulb is on. Luckily I was. When I walked up to take a look at the smoke a flame came out and the bulb then failed. DANERGOUS. DEFECTIVE. DO NOT BUY.

Just what I needed and it was delivered quickly. Just great. Works well.

Most reviews seem to be complaints about well-established effects of UV sanitization. Do they stink? Yes. UV-C will product stink, this is a byproduct of sanitization. How much do they stink? It depends how much sanitization was done: stink=VOC's. The EPA and FDA claim the VOCs produced by UV-C light are harmless, and scientifically there is no reason they would be since they are essentially airborne "dead cells." I was verifiably able to determine these lights emit almost no ozone using my Klein gas detector. VOCs unsurprisingly go off the chart (mine were 700ppm before UV-C, then 2000ppm, and finally settled down to 500ppm) until the area has been sanitized AND filtered. That second part is important: if you want to actually clean your air instead of just sanitize it, you need to collect the dead particulate matter floating around. This is why common applications for UV-C are inside HVAC air handlers BEFORE and AFTER the filter, but if only using a single UV-C, I recommend placing it before the filter if possible. This is generally not possible if your filter access is at the return intake and not inside the HVAC unit\duct. Eventually the airborne particulate will be filtered but...you will smell it. Alternatively you can run a room HEPA filter to collect it. So far I have two bulbs running pre and post filter, inside the return vent before the filter, and one after the heat exchanger. I'm curious how long the bulb life will be exposed to 180F heat as these E26 base bulbs are clearly not designed to be fixed inside duct work, but using a NEMA15>E26 adapter and making a mount out of sheet metal, I riveted a bulb mount to my ducts, drilled a 7/8" hole for the filament of the bulb to insert into the duct, and appropriately leak-sealed with high-temp foil duct tape. Very economical solution compared to Honeywell and other brands that charge $100-$150 for equivilent bulbs, all of which seem to be ozone-emitting. While ozone sanitizes more, controlling the "medical office" smell they produce is extremely challenging in a residential setting as it collects inside fabrics.

Funcionan muy bien. Son focos tipo fluorescentes pero que emiten luz UV. Se ocupan para desinfectar cuartos de 4.5x4.5 metros.

Llegó bien y funciona bien...
