Ensuring efficacy of the UVC solution: replacing UVC lamps

Each UV-C disinfection application consists of one or more high-output ultraviolet lamps, as well as a "system" to ensure correct installation in each specific application.

The UVC system requires no specific maintenance, except for the replacement of UVC lamps whose effect on microbial deactivation changes over time.
In fact, the UV-C dose produced by each lamp tends to decrease over time until it is completely exhausted.

After two years of continuous operation (or one year in the case of lamps switched on and off daily)
the UV-C dose falls below the minimum threshold to guarantee the effectiveness of each lamp in its application, and must be replaced.
Some UVC systems are equipped with an 'hour counter' (often purchased separately) that indicates the total hours of operation since first installation.
After 18,000 hours of continuous operation or 9,000 hours of alternating operation (daily switch on and off) the lamps need to be replaced.

Always purchase original Light Progress replacement lamps to maintain the guaranteed effectiveness of Light Progress products.
Replacing the lamps with non-original spare parts:

• could damage the entire UVC system
• might not guarantee the expected level of disinfection and performance of the UVC system
• could result in shorter lamp life over time compared to the use of original lamps

In addition, original Light Progress lamps can be coated with the special UVLON protection, which guarantees greater safety in the event of accidental lamp breakage during use.

The instructions for the correct replacement of the lamps are included in the user and maintenance manual provided with each original Light Progress UVC system.
