Philips TUV T8 Xtra
TUV T8 Xtra lamps are double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in professional water and air disinfection units. Thanks to the unique X-technology TUV T8 Xtra lamps even double the life of conventional types. This extra long and reliable lifetime is even up to 36.000 hours when the lamps are operated on HF Gear. As a result these lamps need to be replaced less often, significantly reducing cost and disruption. Thanks to the reliable lifetime, maintenance can be planned in advance.
Main applications
- Air disinfection systems in professional applications such as universities, hospitals, jails and laboratories
- Upper air and whole room disinfection equipment in hospitals, intensive care units and surgery rooms
- Areas where absolute security of effective disinfection is crucial
- Areas where maintenance costs are high (e.g. high ceilings, difficult access) and/or disruptive costs are high (e.g. areas like operating theatres where lamp failure is unacceptable for safety reasons
