The Science of UV

UV light is divided into four distinct spectral areas-Vacuum UV (100 to 200 nanometers), UV-C (200 to 280 nanometers), UV-B (280 to 315 nanometers), and UV-A (315 to 400 nanometers). The UV-C spectrum (200 to 280 nanometers) is the most lethal range of wavelengths for microorganisms. This range, with 254 nanometers being the peak germicidal wavelength, is known as the Germicidal Spectrum.

Warning

Don\'t look at the UV lamp directly when the UV lamp is igniting. Don\'t irradiate the skin with UV-lamp. Hold a piece of ordinary glass before your eyes when you need to look at the UV-lamp. Please keep the surface of the tube clean to prevent the dust or the dirt from affecting the ultraviolet ray\'s output. Please don\'t touch the quartz glass with bare hands while installing the lamp and using it. The quartz glass can be cleaned by using alcohol tampon.
