Germicidal lamps for the home. Types, how to choose what to buy, prices, reviews

Germicidal lamps are typically used in houses, apartments, all living spaces to kill microorganisms - sources of infection - in the period of colds and epidemics. Among the variety of species there are dangerous devices, negatively affecting living organisms, and those that can be applied without concern for human health.

Dangerous devices can be switched on only when there are no people, animals and plants. Safety devices can be operated in the same room with a person or animal. Germicidal lamps can be manufactured as conventional fluorescent lamps.

What is the germicidal lamp?

Germicidal lamps are devices for disinfection of air, surfaces of objects in the premises for any purpose in which people can gather. They radiate ultraviolet rays which are detrimental effect on pathogens, molds, fungi.

Beneficial features

The rays of the lamp is good cure many kinds of diseases, including influenza and the common cold infections, inflammatory arthritis, osteochondrosis. Ultraviolet improves immunity, promotes the production of vitamin D.

Bactericidal effect on the emitter:

• bacteria (more than 12 species), which belong to the number of staphylococci, E. coli, salmonella;
• influenza viruses;
• mushrooms;
• mold.

Use a bulb to achieve the following objectives:

• disinfection and purification of air in the room;
• Water purification;
• treatment of diseases.

Scope

In connection with the property of the lamp to kill pathogenic microbes, mold and fungi, it is widely used:

• for disinfection of premises (medicinal, children's institutions, and also in places where there may be large numbers of people, germicidal lamps used regularly for special groups);
• for water purification (UV light emitters mounted in the housing, Vodokanals);
• for the treatment of diseases.

In what diseases it is used?

Efficacy of treatment with ultraviolet lamps is proved in diseases such as:

• skin;
• gynecological;
• diseases of the respiratory organs;
• ear infections;
• metabolic disorders;
• muscle and joint inflammation.

  

Types of lamps are selected depending on patient age.

Principle of operation

Work irradiators based on the production of ultra-violet radiation. The device consists of a lamp in which the mercury vapors when heated generator (the lamp is turned on). mercury vapors begin to glow and radiate ultraviolet rays. The lamp itself, producing UV rays is a glass flask. The bulb is made of quartz glass or uviol.

2 types of glass, as a result of various compositions from which they are produced and passed the ultraviolet radiation in different ways:

• Quartz glass is intended for the passage of ultraviolet radiation across the spectrum, including short-rays harmful to a living organism.
• uviol glass delays ultraviolet part of the spectrum, without passing dangerous short wave (less than 280 nm).

types of lamps

Germicidal lamps for the house of the main features can be divided into:

• Ozone - they must act in the absence of living creatures and plants. Ozone, which is obtained by reacting with oxygen molecules ultraviolet, detrimental effect on living organisms.
• Bezozonovye - safe, can be included in a common space with people and animals. their shell portion does not pass short-wave UV, which lead to the formation of ozone inside.

  

no more dangerous to use at home for the human health bezozonovye lamps.

Ozone Quartz irradiators

Ozone (or quartz) irradiators encased in quartz glass. This shell transmits radiation which forms ozone. Killing microorganisms present, the effects of ozone on living creatures, so the quartz lamp is used only in an empty room. Mandatory requirement - ventilate the room after use of the irradiator.

Germicidal UV-radiators

Germicidal UV light emitters do not produce ozone, since the shell of the lamp case uviol glass does not transmit part of the range of UV-radiation.

After using such a lamp does not require room ventilation. Bezozonovye lamps are considered relatively safe, but the purification procedure is still recommended without people. Please observe the instructions for the selection of the lamp power and exposure time, then they will not cause harm to humans.

Xenon

Xenon bactericidal irradiators are bezozonovym devices for disinfection of premises. They instead mercury-filled inner core is a gas xenon - an inert gas, harmless to humans. Xenon well disinfects the air, but are short-lived.

amalgam

Amalgam UV emitters are bezozonovym lamps. These devices use amalgam instead of mercury. Flask, previously filled with mercury in these products is covered from the inside of the solid amalgam coating.

The advantages of such lamps:

• It does not produce ozone, making the lamp suitable for living rooms;
• no mercury does flask safe in case of fall (instead of collecting mercury thorough wash floor is sufficient).

Safety lamp - a great advantage for home use.

Criteria for selection of lamps

Germicidal lamps have a variety of specifications, the purchase of equipment for the home should take into account the following factors:

• the purpose of buying lamps - disinfection of the house or apartment, the treatment for cosmetic purposes;
• the lamp power should not exceed the safety performance, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​the premises;
• able to comply with environmental requirements for operation lamps;
• lamp operating time without interruption;
• manufacturer - must choose a company that has a good reputation, because the device can be harmful to the health of living beings.

In any case it is necessary to purchase a lamp to consult with a specialist.

By type

Bactericidal irradiators are divided by type:

• mobile, portable, which allow you to change the treatment site, it is disinfected increase the amount of space, ease of use;
• stationary, attached to the walls or ceiling, acting on a specific room.

  

For the application of the UV lamps in the home best suited mobile lamps (portable), making it possible to process the entire apartment.

On the subject of impact

Appointment bactericidal irradiators is determined by the subject to which they affect:

• on the premises, for the purpose of disinfection and decontamination;
• on the human body, for the purpose of treatment;
• water, in order to purify (technical objective).

In appearance and mode of action

Appearance of the products is diverse and depends on the method of installation on its purpose.

The main parameters determining the appearance of the lamp - 2:

• open form when radiation is emitted from the lamp in different directions (such products have a negative impact on living creatures);
• closed form when the lamp is placed in a shielded case, air is sucked into the fans and cleaned, and then out of the lamp has been published for clean air (such product is called "recyclers", they are safe for person).

Recycling irradiators are considered safe and are recommended for the treatment of residential space.

In the method of installation and installation

Germicidal lamps for the house divided by the method of installation and mounting types:

• mounted, mounted on the ceiling or walls;
• floor, they are usually equipped with wheels, so that they can easily be moved to the desired location;
• board, not attached to the surface, for them there are special legs or sites that do not allow them to tip over.

According to the type of glass

Different types of glass used in the UV irradiator:

• Quartz glass is used in the ozone lamps,

through quartz glass passes UV radiation across the spectrum, the harmful effects of short rays of this range does not allow processing facilities to people and animals;

• uviol glass, do not miss the waves.

The lamps of the second type are safe and are considered the most suitable for use at home.

According to the type of radiation emitted

The radiation produced by the bactericidal lamps, depends on from what they are made of glass. Quartz glass allows to form ozone, however with the lamp envelope of quartz glass called ozone. Uviol glass emits stream not forming ozone lamp and in which it is used, is called bezozonovymi.

How to use a germicidal lamp

Germicidal lamps for the house to be used with regard to the properties and values ​​set out specifically for this product, only then they will be safe. Before you start the device, you must read the instructions for its use.
