Yes, UVO disinfection is safe when used correctly. However, it is important to take precautions to avoid exposure to UVC light, which can damage your skin and eyes. To do this, you should keep people, pets, and plants out of the room while the Sterilightzer Lamp is in use. This is a small price to pay for a 99.99% allergen-free, germ-free, and garden-fresh space.

The Sterilightzer Lamp also has two safety features to help prevent accidental exposure to UVC light or ozone:

• A remote control that allows you to operate the lamp from a safe distance.
• A self-delay timer with beeping sounds that gives you time to leave the room before the UVC light turns on.

When using a Sterilightzer lamp to disinfect a room, it's important to take certain precautions to ensure safety, both for you and your surroundings. UV-C light is a powerful disinfecting tool, effective against various microorganisms, but it requires a vacant room during operation. This precaution is necessary because direct exposure to UV-C light can be harmful to skin and eyes, though these risks are easily mitigated by simply not being present in the room while the lamp is on. Additionally, some UV-C lamps produce ozone, which can help in disinfection, but it's advisable to avoid inhaling it in high concentrations. It's equally important to remember that not only humans but also pets and plants should be removed from the room during this process. By following these simple guidelines, using a UV-C lamp can be a completely safe and effective way to maintain a clean environment.

Yes, you can briefly enter the room while the Sterilightzer lamp is on, but it should only be for a very short period of time. For example, if you forgot your cellphone or a TV remote in the room, you may quickly enter to retrieve it. However, it's important to minimize your exposure to UV-C light as it can be harmful to your skin and eyes. Always ensure the lamp is turned off if you need to spend more than a few seconds in the room.

Sterilightzer Lamps harness the power of both UV-C light and Ozone for comprehensive air and surface sanitation throughout a room.

While traditional UV-C lamps are effective, boasting a 99.9% kill rate on pathogens and being utilized by sectors like aviation and healthcare for clean environments, they have limitations. Direct exposure to UV-C light is needed for optimal performance; otherwise, its effectiveness diminishes significantly. This makes UV-C lamps alone not very practical for household use, and while handheld UV-C devices can be used to directly target surfaces, it's time-consuming and doesn't purify the air.

On its own, Ozone is potent against a wide range of microorganisms and is used in medical settings for its disinfecting properties. However, the use of traditional ozone generators is time-intensive, requiring several hours to treat a room, and they necessitate vacating the space during and post-treatment for safety.

• The innovation of combining UV-C with Ozone in Sterilightzer Lamps offers enhanced disinfection efficiency. This powerful duo reduces the time Ozone needs to act and augments UV-C's effectiveness, achieving a level of sanitization in mere minutes that would otherwise take an Ozone generator up to 30 hours. Sterilightzer's lamp technology ensures thorough disinfection, reaching even the most inaccessible spots and purifying the air, providing a swift and comprehensive cleaning solution.

Indeed, Sterilightzer lamps are capable of exterminating bed bugs and various insects.

• Experts in entomology, the study of insects, along with other authorities, concur that UVC light is lethal to insects and pests as it disrupts their DNA. Additionally, Ozone is effective in pest eradication, primarily by affecting their respiratory systems.

Upon exposure to the Sterilightzer Lamp, allergens are rendered unrecognizable to the human immune system due to the complete breakdown of their DNA. This process effectively neutralizes their ability to provoke allergic responses.

The UV bulb boasts an impressive longevity, exceeding 5,000 hours of use. To put it into perspective, even with daily use, the bulb should last well beyond 12 years before reaching its full lifespan.

Over time, the UV intensity emitted by light tubes may gradually decline due to internal residue accumulation. Industry professionals note that a light tube can be used non-stop for approximately a year, or up to 9,000 hours, before the reduction in UV strength warrants replacement. This duration significantly surpasses the Sterilightzer bulb's operational life of 5,000 hours, ensuring several years of efficient sanitization.
