UV-C radiation is harmful to eyes and skin. This lamp should never be used as lighting and must operate exclusively in a UV-C sterilizer or a fully enclosed UV-C treatment device.
The Compact UV-C Lamp Aquarium Systems 18 W is designed for aquarium water treatment through UV-C sterilization. Its 2G11 base ensures compatibility with many UV-C sterilizers designed for medium to large volumes.
With a length of 217 mm, this compact bulb easily fits into suitable UV-C chambers. It helps limit the proliferation of suspended algae responsible for green water and reduces the load of microorganisms circulating in the water.
Designed to offer stable performance, this UV-C lamp maintains its optimal germicidal efficiency during a recommended usage period of 12 months. Beyond this period, the intensity of the UV-C radiation gradually decreases, reducing the effectiveness of sterilization.
UV-C radiation acts on microscopic algae, bacteria, and other undesirable microorganisms present in the water. This action helps maintain clearer water and a more stable environment for fish and other aquarium organisms.
The UV-C bulb must always be installed in a closed and secure device. Any direct exposure to UV-C radiation is dangerous. Replacement or maintenance operations should be performed with the power off.
The use of this UV-C lamp helps limit chemical treatments while contributing to visually clearer and biologically more balanced water. It effectively integrates into filtration systems designed for both marine and freshwater aquariums.
