Philips is the largest manufacturer of standard low pressure mercurylamps.These Philips TUV lamps consist of a tubular glass envelopeemitting short-wave ultraviolet (UV) radiation with a peak at 254 nm(UVC) for germicidal action.The Philips in-house made glass filtersout the 185 nm ozone forming line thus preventing the creation ofozone. High Output (HO) versions are available limiting requiredspace and the footprint of your systems. Low pressure mercury lampsare very efficient, up to 40%. A protective coating on the inside limitsthe depreciation of the useful UVC output.This allows applicationmanufacturers to design their systems to the highest efficiency.Philips invented and pioneered the use of technology to reduce themercury level of the lamps. As a result this has been brought downto by far the lowest mercury level in UV lamps in the industry.Main applications:• Residential drinking water units• Stand alone air purifiers• Wall-mounted air purification units
