Philips TUV T5
TUV T5 lamps are single- or double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in professional water and air disinfection units. The small 16 mm diameter of the lamp allows for a small system design and design flexibility. TUV T5 lamps offer almost constant UV output over their complete lifetime, for maximum security of disinfection and high system efficacy.
