Disinfection has never been more critical to households and commercial establishments than since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of ultraviolet lamps or tubes has seen a surge not just within the healthcare industry but also in homes and workplaces as this innovative lighting product effectively kills viruses, bacteria, molds and other airborne contaminants, and disinfects water.

Manufacturers of UV lamps and tubes offer wide-ranging options from home use to large-scale disinfection applications. The selections typically have a wavelength ranging from 100 to 400nm that are classified into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C.
