Coronavirus is a human scourge. The government and society are trying to kill the virus, and we all have to do our best to protect ourselves.
We are using disinfectant to spray down counters, railings, tabletops, and other surface areas several times a day. That uses many protection materials, and now everywhere is short of them — no matter the mask or thermometer.
UV light can kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. That means you can use UV light to kill the viruses in your mask, thermometer and everyday items.
1. What Is a UV Lamp?
UV (ultraviolet) is a kind of wave. It can be classified into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C.
The UV wavelength region sits between X-rays (≤100 nm) and visible light (>400 nm) on the electromagnetic spectrum.

According to its interaction with molecules, UV light is divided into four wavelength bands with different effects:
- ✓VUV (vacuum UV, <200 nm) — reacts immediately with oxygen and organic molecules, so it is harmful even at low doses.
- ✓UVC (200–280 nm) — the germicidal range, also known as UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation).
- ✓UVB (280–315 nm) — known for sunburning skin and linked to photoaging.
- ✓UVA (315–400 nm) — shorter UVA1 wavelengths can affect the skin through reactive oxygen species.
2. The Principle and Influencing Factors of UV Lamp
UV lamp principle: the UV lamp is produced with special transparent UV glass. The UV light passes through the glass and concentrates very high energy to kill bacteria, viruses and germs.
Influencing factors of the UV lamp:
- ✓Different biological time effect — during the daytime, bacteria’s "photoreactivation enzymes" gain energy and allow damaged DNA to repair, so sterilizing works better at night.
- ✓The quality of the UV lamp — always buy a quality UV lamp from a reliable China manufacturer.
- ✓Cleanliness — the cleaner the lamp, the better the effect.
- ✓Distance — the closer to the UV lamp, the better the effect.
3. UV Lamp Applications

- ✓Kill virus
- ✓Kill germs
- ✓Kill acarid (mites)
- ✓Kill scurf (fungi)
4. Where We Can Use the UV Lamp

UV lamps can be used in many places. We can use UV lamps for hospital disinfection, and also in hotels, restaurants, factories and other public places.
You can even DIY a UV lamp to clean your mask safely at home.
5. UV Lamp Efficiency Against Common Bacteria and Viruses
The table below shows how quickly UVC light destroys common bacteria, viruses, spores and algae.
| Bacteria / Virus | Time (s) |
|---|---|
| bacillus anthracis | 0.3 |
| Clostridium tetani | 0.3 |
| dysentery bacilli | 1.5 |
| escherichia coli | 0.4 |
| staphylococcus albus | 1.3 |
| micrococcus | 0.4 |
| bacteriophage | 0.2 |
| influenza | 0.3 |
| poliovirus 1 | 0.8 |
| hepatitis B virus | 0.8 |
| Spore / Algae / Others | Time (s) |
|---|---|
| aspergillus niger | 0.3–6.7 |
| mucor mucedo | 4.6 |
| penicillium | 0.9–3.0 |
| roqueforti | 0.9–3.0 |
| blue-green algae | 10–40 |
| nematode eggs | 3.4 |
| green algae | 1.2 |
| protozoa | 4.0–6.7 |
| leukoderma (fish) | 2.7 |
| infectious pancreatic necrosis | 4 |
| viral hemorrhage (fish) | 1.6 |
6. The Advantages of LED UV Lamp

- ✓Less heat than traditional lamps — solves the heat problem of UV lamp equipment.
- ✓High efficiency — the LED UV lamp wave focuses on the ultraviolet spectrum, while traditional lamps emit more other wavelengths.
- ✓Long life — LED UV lamps last about 10 times longer than traditional lamps.
- ✓Instant switch — maximum UV output is reached without preheating, and the unit can restart instantly.
- ✓Low energy consumption — only about 10% of the power of traditional lamps, saving up to 90% of energy.
7. The Disadvantages of LED UV Lamp
Due to technical limitations, the light intensity of current UV LED lamps is not very high, which limits their use in large-flow scenarios to some extent.
In addition, the price of UV LED lamps is still higher than traditional UV lamps.

9. Safety Notice Before Use
⚠️ Important safety
- ✓The UV light is made by a professional factory.
- ✓When using the UV light, make sure there is no living body in the space (including animals, plants and people) — UV light can damage human eyes and skin.
- ✓An operation time of more than 15 minutes is more effective.
- ✓After operation, air the space to remove the smell.
10. What Others Say About UV Light and the Coronavirus

12. UV Lamp FAQs
▶How to find a UV lamp manufacturer from China?
The most convenient way is to search on Google. Step 1: search keywords such as "UV light China factory", "UV light China manufacturer" or "UV lamp China supplier" to find candidates. Step 2: check each company’s website — when it was founded, its major products, and product quality level. Step 3: contact the factory for details — who you talk to, factory location, delivery time and payment terms. Step 4: order a small quantity first to test the product quality and the manufacturer’s ability. Step 5: once you are satisfied, place a bulk order.
▶What UV lamp can you import from China?
China offers a wide range of UV lamps, including UV LED strip lights, backlight UV lamps, UV bulb tubes, cold-cathode germicidal UV lamps and high-output UV lamps. Finding the right factory will save you time and a lot of money.
▶Is UV light safe to use at home?
Yes, when used correctly. Always make sure there are no people, pets or plants in the room during operation, and air the space afterwards. Never look directly at the lamp.
▶How long should I run a UV lamp for effective disinfection?
An operation time of more than 15 minutes is recommended for effective sterilization. The Lightstec LT-UVCO-36W offers three preset timers for different room sizes.
▶Can a UV lamp really kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses?
Yes. UVC light in the 200–280 nm range is proven germicidal and is widely used in hospitals, public transport and food processing. It destroys the DNA of microorganisms so they can no longer reproduce.

By the way, we also updated the size to 2*4ft, please check the pictures as attached.
Size: 2*4ft with two designs, one is for troffer design with UV air Purifier, another is for panel design with UV air purifier, both designs can be supported with recessed mount installation. and we still adopting two ways for sterilization which one is Nano-tech coating for surface sterilization, another is UV light for air sterilization.
Our engineers will work on it because this is a new design we are under on the developing
So welcome more suggestions or ideas on 2*2ft and 2*4ft UV air purifiers.
