Features and Operation

This lamp is not a classic lighting lamp. It is part of Osram's HNS (Germicidal Lamps) range.

Specialized Use and Applications

The HNS 16W lamp is designed for disinfection and sterilization by UVC irradiation.

• Air and Surface Disinfection:

  • Ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to disinfect circulating air.

  • Disinfection cabinets (for instruments or objects).

  • Environments with high hygiene requirements (laboratories, hospitals, food industries).

• Water and Fluid Sterilization:

  • Used in water treatment systems to destroy microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds).

Principle of action: UVC energy at 253.7 nm penetrates the cell wall of microorganisms and damages their DNA/RNA, preventing them from reproducing and effectively inactivating them.

Safety Warning (UVC)

It is crucial to note that this lamp emits UVC rays that are dangerous for living organisms:

• Skin and Eyes: Direct exposure to UVC rays from this lamp can cause severe eye damage (photokeratitis) and skin burns.

• Ozone: The lamp is usually made from glass that blocks ozone-producing wavelengths.

These lamps should never be used for domestic lighting or in fixtures where direct exposure is possible. Their use is strictly reserved for closed devices or business applications that adhere to strict security protocols.
