UV-C germicidal lamps have an efficiency of 99,9% in disinfection. But in order to achieve this level, it is necessary to make good use of the devices and to follow the safety guidelines of manufacturers.

The speciality of UV-C rays lies in the fact that they can damage the DNA of microorganisms so as to prevent their reproduction and infection. However, some experts from scientific community doubt and wonder whether these types of rays would pose any kind of risks to our health.

We have to say that currently there is no conclusive evidence demonstrating exposure to UV-C germicidal lamps is dangerous to the health, although it does alert its possible adverse damages that can be done to the ocular and epidermis tissues.

For this reason, GERMILED lamps have integrated several safety systems in devices, such as presence detectors and remote controls to prevent accidental exposure to UV-C rays.

But how should UV-C lamps be used?

  • First of all, we must make sure that the UV-C lamps have all the certificates and safety systems.

  • Secondly, to ensure every corner of the room is sterilized, we should place the germicidal lamp preferably in the center of the room.

  • Thirdly, we should plug the power cables to our devices and then we leave the room.

  • Once being outside, we should turn on the device via remote control and we can set the time of duration of disinfection.

  • When disinfection finishes, the lamp will automatically disconnect and we will be able to enter the room safely.

During the disinfection, if someone accidentally enters into the room, the motion sensor will automatically turn off the device to prevent possible damages.

As you can see, it is quite easy to handle it. We can sterilize any room safely by following some small safety tips.
