Philips TUV 55W Xtra (249730)

TUV T8 Xtra lamps are double-ended UVC (germicidal) lamps used in
professional water and air disinfection units. Thanks to the unique X-technology
TUV T8 Xtra lamps even double the life of conventional types. This extra long
and reliable lifetime is even up to 36.000 hours when the lamps are operated
on HF Gear. As a result these lamps need to be replaced less often, significantly
reducing cost and disruption. Thanks to the reliable lifetime, maintenance can be
planned in advance.
