We have been manufacturing ultraviolet equipment in the USA for over 50 years. Continuing research and development maintains our leadership in applied ultraviolet technology. Our years of expertise make our STER-L-RAY ® germicidal UV-C lamps the ultimate efficient, economical, and effective choice for systems using germicidal ultraviolet rays to disinfect air, water, and surfaces.
Why should you care that Atlantic Ultraviolet’s STER-L-RAY ® Germicidal UV Lamps are used as replacements in existing ultraviolet equipment?
With STER-L-RAY ® lamps, you know you are receiving the highest quality UV lamp technology currently on the market. We’re the OEM for STER-L-RAY ® lamps, and for all our brand name ultraviolet equipment. The same engineers that develop the ultraviolet systems also develop the lamps they use. When you use our lamps, you receive our high standards of performance, reliability, and value. STER-L-RAY ® brand lamps can be used as equivalent replacements in MOST make and model UV equipment on the market. So choose STER-L-RAY ® lamps for all your replacement needs (and avoid purchasing poor quality lamps which are often made offshore and known to have low UV output and short life).
6 Reasons Germicidal Ultraviolet Lamps Are Exceptional
- Engineers are experts in the industry—exacting manufacturing procedures and stringent quality control measures ensure our lamps are consistently high in quality
- Short-wave, low-pressure, lamps use less energy than medium to high-pressure lamps
- Approximately 95% of the ultraviolet energy emitted from STER-L-RAY ® germicidal lamps is at 254 nanometers, the region of germicidal effectiveness most destructive to bacteria, mold and virus.
- Compatible with over 250 equipment brands and 5,000 models of ultraviolet equipment, in addition to Atlantic Ultraviolet equipment
- Low ozone and ozone producing versions available
- Each model is available in a variety of lengths and watts emitted
