Testing UV disinfecting lights

KPRC 2's Amy Davis tested UV disinfecting lights.

You should teach people to differentiate the real uvc lamp and fake led uva,uvb product because general consumer won’t know the different

I could hardly believe it when I saw this video about UV lights show up on KZbin because I had just been wondering about them. That same day I had told my husband that the air purifier in our room needed new UV light bulbs. Soon after I started wondering just how effective UV lights are. Thank you so much for answering my questions.

@donettaschroeder5895 our devices are listening to us! Anytime I need to talk about a private issue, I take my phone out of the room because no matter what I'm talking about, when I log in later to the phone or laptop, there will be a related add or video or link.

Without using a testing device it may not be UVC since just UV does not kill anything it is just purple light. This was a lousy report as it kind of missed that key element. UV is not the same as UVC.

[@dannymartial7997]

I bought a UV toothbrush case. I'm hoping it works, but even if it doesn't, the fact that it's still a case means it'll at least stop particals from landing on it when I'm NOT using it.

[@ultravioletbeamscompany]

You can tell the real germicidal UV-C lights by the type of bulb, the wavelength and the power output. First off, the cheap LEDs DO NOT WORK! The best cost effective solution is the low-pressure mercury vapor lamps. These are similar in technology as neon lights but with a different gasses. The mercury vapor emits germicidal ultraviolet light at 253.7nm (254nm) and is not visible to the eye. The blue color you see is usually emitted by the Xenon gas which is only included to stabilize and make the tube more efficient. This bulb also has to be powerful enough to be effective. We sell a 5 watt rechargeable wand which we thinks is the minimum power to make the sanitizer effective with convenient treatment times. It is fast to use and covers more than twice the area than the handheld shown in the video. The battery operated unit shown in this video is rated at 2 watts, has a 3 1/4" long dual tube, and does not offer much power or have much treatment area making it inconvenient to use, especially for larger objects. We also have a specially designed collapsible box to place your items to be sanitized that works with our 5W wand. By placing items in the box, bacteria, viruses and mold are destroyed by both the UV-C and the small and safe amount of ozone created by it. There are LED's that are being developed emitting a wavelength of 222nm which is an effecting germicidal and also safe to humans, but the cost is prohibitive and no consumer products use them. Feel free to visit our website at ULTRAVIOLETBEAMS dot com or simply do a search for ULTRAVIOLETBEAMS in one word to reach our site.

[@erikfm77]

A while back, I got a letter from PhoneSoap saying that the FDA is forcing PhoneSoap to discontinue their wand(SurfaceSoap). PhoneSoap told me to return it and get a replacement which is something like that box.

@@ArtyMars How do you know if it is UVC or just UV? I use a testing device since UV does not disinfect, it is just a purple disco light...

[@ArtyMars]

​@@superbmediacontentcreator Yep UVC Light is very dangerous to skin and eyes so REAL UVC lights will have warnings all over the product, and the LEDS that actually work fort UVC are very expensive, about $25-40 each LED so anything that claims to be real UVC LEDS and is under $50 will definitely be a fake....

Sanitizing eyes with uvc is going to hurt for quite some time

[@johnettipio]

That would be a truly eye opening experience.

[@denniscarey8426]

These low power devices are going to work in a matter of seconds as they say. Normally, it would take about 20 to 30 minutes to be effective. If you want an effective UVC sanitizer, you would need to purchase one of the commercial units for about $150. These units can put out about 45 Watts of UV light. You definitely will have to wear gloves and protective glasses to use it!

[@vmobile890]

Also not be in a room breathing ozone with the UVC on and need to let air circulate a few hours i have been informed . If wrong comments welcome .

[@denniscarey8426]

@@vmobile890 Yes, this is correct! Initially, the UV fluorescent light interacts with oxygen in the air to form ozone, which is itself is a health risk. Not the case with UV LEDs though.

Do they work...Used for decades to disinfect surfaces. I think there's your answer.

[@BMarie774]

I’m curious about the THEORETICAL use of these for emergency water treatment. Can they kill Giardia? Cryptosporidium? Let’s say I have a really bad hurricane, am in desperate need of water, and boiling isn’t an option for whatever reason… how effective could this theoretically be? What about aquarium UV-C lights!

[@charlibravo371]

Yes uvc light would kill these. The wand may not be the most practical but you could turn if on, wrap it in a ziplock bag and submerge it in the water for a sufficiently long duration.

[@TR-Mead]

It's not theoretical. They sell water bottles with integrated UV bulbs and have for many years.
