UV Germicidal Table Lamp Manufacturers

1. What is a UV Germicidal Table Lamp?

UV stands for Ultraviolet. A UV germicidal table lamp is a specialized lighting device that uses ultraviolet rays to achieve a germicidal effect. Its core principle is to destroy the structure of microorganisms through specific wavelengths of ultraviolet rays, thereby achieving disinfection. It is essentially different from ordinary table lamps: in terms of light-emitting principle, ordinary table lamps mainly provide visible light to meet lighting needs, while UV germicidal table lamps focus on emitting ultraviolet rays with germicidal effects; in terms of lamp tube material, ordinary table lamps mostly use incandescent bulbs, LED beads, etc., while UV germicidal table lamps need to use special lamp tubes that can emit specific ultraviolet wavelengths, such as quartz glass lamp tubes. These lamp tubes can effectively transmit ultraviolet rays and ensure germicidal efficiency.

Disinfection equipment manufacturers and factories like Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd., established in 1993 and located in the New Material Industrial Park of Jiangyin Economic Development Zone, have professional modernized production lines and testing equipment. When producing UV germicidal table lamps, they strictly control product quality. Their product range also includes plasma air sterilizers, bed unit sterilizers, UV air sterilizers, UV lamps, examination lamps, etc. UV germicidal table lamps share a standardized production system with these products.

2. How Does a UV Germicidal Table Lamp Work?

The core of the germicidal effect of a UV germicidal table lamp lies in the destructive effect of ultraviolet rays on the genetic material of microorganisms. When ultraviolet rays irradiate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, they penetrate their cell membranes and act directly on the internal DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). This irradiation causes breaks, cross-linking, or the formation of pyrimidine dimers in the nucleotide chains of the microorganisms' genetic material, destroying the integrity of their genetic information. Once the genetic material is damaged, the microorganisms lose their normal reproductive capacity and infectivity, and can no longer pose a threat to human health or the environment.

Among the different wavelength bands of ultraviolet rays, the UVC band (short-wave ultraviolet rays, with a wavelength of 100-280nm) has the most prominent germicidal effect. Among them, UVC ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of approximately 253.7nm can accurately act on the genetic material of microorganisms, with high germicidal efficiency and significant killing effects on common pathogenic bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) and viruses (such as influenza viruses). Therefore, qualified UV germicidal table lamps on the market mostly take this wavelength as the core germicidal light source, which is also a key technical indicator focused on by professional disinfection equipment manufacturers like Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. in product research and development.

3. What Are the Application Scenarios of UV Germicidal Table Lamps?

Due to their small size and direct germicidal effect, UV germicidal table lamps are suitable for a variety of scenarios and can specifically meet the disinfection needs of different environments:

Household Scenarios: In bedrooms, they can be used for disinfection of the surface of fabrics such as bed sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases, reducing the breeding of mites and bacterial residues; in kitchens, they can be used for local disinfection of chopping boards, tableware, and the interior of cabinets, reducing the risk of food contamination; bathrooms have high humidity and are prone to mold growth, so regular irradiation and disinfection of the floor, walls, and wash basins can improve the hygienic environment.

Office Scenarios: High-frequency contact areas such as office desks, file cabinets, keyboards, and mice can be quickly disinfected with UV germicidal table lamps to reduce the risk of cross-infection.

Medical Scenarios: In areas such as hospital wards and treatment rooms, UV germicidal table lamps can be used as auxiliary disinfection equipment to disinfect the surface of bedside cabinets and medical devices (needing to be combined with professional medical disinfection procedures). Based on its understanding of the disinfection needs of different scenarios, Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. combines UV germicidal technology-related products (such as UV air sterilizers) with UV germicidal table lamps to complement each other and meet diverse disinfection needs.

4. What Precautions Should Be Taken When Using UV Germicidal Table Lamps?

Although UV germicidal table lamps are highly effective, strict safety regulations must be followed during use to avoid harm to the human body:

Evacuation of Personnel and Pets: Ultraviolet rays (especially UVC) can burn the skin and eyes. During use, it must be ensured that no personnel or pets remain in the room. After disinfection, the room must be ventilated for a period of time before entering.
Avoid Direct Eye Contact with the Light Source: Even short-term exposure may cause redness and pain in the eyes. During operation, the room lights should be turned off to avoid ultraviolet reflection, and direct observation of the lamp tube's light emission should be avoided.
Control the Usage Environment: The germicidal effect of ultraviolet rays is affected by temperature and humidity. Generally, the suitable temperature is 20-40℃, and the humidity should not exceed 60%. In humid environments, the area should be dried first before use to prevent the lamp tube from being damaged by moisture.
Keep Away from Children: UV germicidal table lamps should be placed in a location that is out of the reach of children to prevent safety accidents caused by children's incorrect operation.
Do Not Use for Disinfection of Sensitive Items: Direct irradiation of items that are easily aged by ultraviolet rays, such as plastics, rubber, and silk, as well as items that are in direct contact with the human body, such as food and medicines, should be avoided.

These safety regulations are also key contents that Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. emphasizes when providing customers with Operational Training and Guidance to help users correctly avoid usage risks.

5. How Do UV Germicidal Table Lamps Differ from Other Disinfection Equipment?

There are various types of disinfection equipment on the market. The differences between UV germicidal table lamps and mainstream equipment (such as air sterilizers) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Scope of Action and Method: Air sterilizers focus on purifying the air, and treat microorganisms and pollutants in the air through technologies such as filtration, ultraviolet rays, and plasma. They are suitable for cyclic air disinfection in large-area spaces (such as living rooms and offices); while UV germicidal table lamps need to directly irradiate the surface of objects or specific areas, and are more suitable for local disinfection of small areas (such as desktops and fabrics). Their germicidal effect depends on "irradiation coverage" and cannot treat air or hidden corners that are not in contact.

Usage Cost and Convenience: UV germicidal table lamps are small in size, low in price, do not require complex installation, can be used by plugging into a power source, and have low maintenance costs; air sterilizers are mostly vertical or wall-mounted, with higher prices. Some of them need to replace filters regularly, and their installation and maintenance are relatively complex, making them more suitable for long-term and continuous air disinfection needs.

Complementarity of Application Scenarios: Professional disinfection equipment manufacturers like Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. produce a full range of products including UV germicidal table lamps, air sterilizers, and bed unit sterilizers precisely because different equipment is suitable for different scenarios. For example, in a family, an air sterilizer can be used to purify the air in the living room, and a UV germicidal table lamp can be used to disinfect the bed sheets and desktop in the bedroom, forming a three-dimensional disinfection combination of "air + surface". This is highly consistent with the concept of the company providing customers with Solution Design and Customisation services, that is, designing personalized product configuration solutions according to the disinfection needs of customers in different scenarios.

6. How to Choose a Suitable UV Germicidal Table Lamp?

When choosing a UV germicidal table lamp, attention should be paid to core parameters and safety performance to avoid purchasing inefficient or unsafe products:

Confirm Core Parameters: Priority should be given to products marked with "UVC band 253.7nm", as this wavelength ensures germicidal efficiency; the power should match the usage area. Generally, a 15-30W product is suitable for a 10-15㎡ room. The larger the area, the higher the power required to avoid incomplete disinfection due to insufficient power.
Pay Attention to Safety Protection Functions: High-quality products are equipped with multiple safety designs, such as "human body induction automatic shutdown", "timing function", and "remote control operation", which can greatly improve the safety of use.
Check Product Qualifications: Choose products from enterprises with formal production qualifications, and ensure that the products comply with national disinfection equipment standards (such as GB 28235-2020 "Safety and Sanitation Standards for Ultraviolet Disinfectors"). Avoid purchasing "three-no products" (no brand, no parameters, no quality inspection report).
Refer to Material and Craftsmanship: For the lamp tube, quartz glass material is recommended, which has good light transmittance and a long service life; the body material should be high-temperature resistant and anti-aging to avoid deformation or damage after long-term use.

When providing customers with Requirements Analysis and Consultation services, Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. will conduct in-depth communication with customers about their specific needs and application scenarios, recommend suitable products from the above dimensions, provide professional product consultation and suggestions, and ensure that the selection accurately matches the actual needs.

7. Key Points for Maintenance of UV Germicidal Table Lamps

Proper maintenance can extend the service life of UV germicidal table lamps and ensure stable germicidal effects:

Regularly Clean the Lamp Tube: Dust and oil stains are easy to accumulate on the surface of the lamp tube, which will block the transmission of ultraviolet rays. It is recommended to gently wipe the surface of the lamp tube with a clean soft cloth (or a cotton cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol) every 2-3 weeks. Before wiping, the power supply should be disconnected to avoid electric shock.
Check the Condition of the Lamp Tube: During use, if the lamp tube emits light unevenly, turns black at both ends, or there is still an odor or microbial residue after disinfection, the lamp tube should be replaced in a timely manner (it is recommended to choose a special lamp tube matching the original product to avoid affecting the effect due to inconsistent models).
Proper Storage: When not in use for a long time, UV germicidal table lamps should be placed in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent circuit damage caused by a humid environment. At the same time, avoid squeezing or colliding with the lamp body to prevent the lamp tube from breaking.
Record Usage Time: It is recommended to record the usage time of the lamp tube. When it reaches the rated service life, even if there is no obvious damage to the appearance of the lamp tube, it should be replaced. Because after exceeding the service life, the intensity of ultraviolet rays will decrease significantly, and the germicidal effect will be obviously weakened.

These maintenance points are also the core contents of Jiangyin Jianshifu Equipment Co., Ltd. when providing Maintenance and Servicing and After-sales Service and Support - providing guidance on long-term maintenance of equipment to ensure stable and reliable operation of the equipment for a long time, and solving problems encountered by customers during use.
