What is a UV Lamp
Ultraviolet lamp is a kind of lamp product that can emit
ultraviolet rays. It is also an essential tool for observing
samples in the field of biochemistry. It is also used for indoor
disinfection and the most important physical method to reduce the
generation of bacteria. Ultraviolet lamps can emit wavelengths
within 10-400nm, and are also used in the production of various
functional lamps, such as strong ultraviolet high-pressure mercury
lamps, capillary ultra-high pressure mercury lamps, ultraviolet
iron lamps, excimer discharge lamps, etc.
UV Lamp Features
1. The light radiated by ultraviolet rays will change the genetic
structure of microorganisms and damage the DNA, so that the
microorganisms lose their reproductive and repair functions, and
finally achieve the inhibitory effect of bacteria. In addition, the
use of ultraviolet light for sterilization work, without worrying
about the generation of odor, and no harmful chemical components
will remain. Due to its colorless properties, it has been gradually
used in many modern water treatment and has been put into treatment
in many countries.
2. Ultraviolet lamps actually use mercury lamps to emit ultraviolet
rays, and the released amount is relatively large. If certain
protective measures are not taken, it is easy to cause great damage
to the human body. If the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, the
degree of itching, redness, peeling and other problems will occur
to a certain extent. If the degree is serious, it will cause skin
diseases. In addition, such lamps also have a great impact on the
human eye. Staying in the radiation space for a long time is easy
to cause inflammation of the corner of the eye, and even suffer
from cataracts.
3. Ultraviolet lamps are also widely used in automotive
applications, and these lamps have a variety of styles, which not
only play a good role in disinfection and sterilization, but also
have a certain decorative effect. After the car is treated with
ultraviolet light, the air inside is fresh, the odor is completely
removed, and it will not cause harm to the human body.
4. Ultraviolet lamps have a significant effect on indoor
disinfection, will not affect the environment, and reduce the
generation of pollution. However, when using it, care should be
taken to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes of the lamp to
reduce the impact of radiation.
The last thing I need to mention is that the anti-mosquito UV lamps
used in restaurants and milk tea shops are different from the UV
lamps introduced above. Therefore, consumers do not need to worry
about radiation problems and can use them with confidence."
"Everyday exposure to ultraviolet light, from turning it on to
leaving the disinfection room, will be in contact for a few seconds
every day. Will it be harmful to the human body in the long run?
If the time is very short, the harm is not great. Be careful not to
expose your eyes and bare skin to the radiation range of UV-C. Pay
special attention not to look directly at the lamp tube, and it is
best to wear glasses (or goggles) in the disinfection room.
Our UV manufacturers, employees and technicians have to assemble
and test UV lamps every day, and use cardboard to block the light
of the UV lamps. For 20 years, my skin and eyes are fine." "UV
disinfection lamp for day or night use
Ultraviolet disinfection lamps can be used during the day and at
night, but be careful to avoid light when using them. Because some
bacteria in the air rely on the ""photoreactivation enzyme"" in the
body to obtain energy, that is, repair damaged DNA through light,
if the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is not protected from light,
the damaged cells will restore normal vitality under visible light,
called photoresurrection. Therefore, try to choose to use
ultraviolet disinfection lamps at night. If it is during the day,
you can draw the curtains to keep the light dim.
How to use UV disinfection lamp:
1. Air disinfection: When using, the doors and windows should be
closed, and the room should be kept dry, and then the disinfection
lamp should be turned on. The disinfection distance should not
exceed 2 meters, and the disinfection time should be 30-40 minutes
each time. If the light needs to be turned on again after turning
off, it should be turned on again after 3-4 minutes. When the
ultraviolet disinfection lamp is irradiated, it is strictly
forbidden for personnel to enter the room, and the window should be
opened for ventilation after the disinfection lamp is used.
2. Disinfection of the surface of items: spread out or hang the
items to make them fully exposed to direct irradiation. When in
use, the irradiation time of ultraviolet rays should not be less
than 30 minutes, and the high-intensity, low-ozone ultraviolet
germicidal lamps The irradiation time is preferably 30 to 60
minutes.
Precautions for UV disinfection lamps:
1. Ultraviolet rays have certain damage to human skin and mucous
membranes. When using ultraviolet germicidal lamps, you should pay
attention to protection. You must never look directly at the
ultraviolet light source, otherwise your eyes will be hurt.
2. Ensure that the disinfection method is correct. When used for
air disinfection, the disinfection distance should not exceed 2
meters, and each disinfection time is 30-40 minutes. When used for
disinfection of articles, the irradiation time shall not be less
than 30 minutes.
3. The surface of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp tube should be
kept clean and free of dust, wiped with a 95% ethanol cotton ball
once a week, and it is best to keep a record.
4. When disinfecting articles with ultraviolet rays, the irradiated
surface should be directly irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and a
sufficient irradiation dose should be achieved. When irradiating
the air, all cabinet doors and drawers should be opened to ensure
that all spaces are irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and
disinfection should be as free as possible.
5. Because the service life of the ordinary ultraviolet germicidal
lamp is 1000-3000 hours, it is necessary to make a record every
time the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is used. In addition, the
ultraviolet intensity of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp should be
checked regularly with the ultraviolet intensity command card.
However, the UV lamps produced by Ningbo Youwei Optoelectronics
have a lifespan of 8,000-10,000 hours, so there is no need to worry
about their lifespan, and they can basically be used for more than
10 years at home. The light decay rate is also very low, almost
negligible.
Choosing a high-quality UV lamp is equal to a lot less trouble. One
