UV-C disinfection is not a scam. Many scientific studies, including CDC and EPA studies, prove that UV-C light kills almost all biological pollutants and germs.

For example, one published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, "Effect of germicidal UV-C light (254 nm) on eggs and adult of house dust mites, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farina," showed the efficacy of UV-C on killing dust mites and their eggs.

The EPA also states that: "UV lamps may destroy indoor biological pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, and moulds.”

In addition to UV-C, extensive research suggests that ozone fumigation, applied at appropriate concentrations, could effectively control several organisms including dust mites, bacteria, viruses, pests, etc.

UVO254™ lamps combine both UV-C and ozone for maximum effectiveness.

Yes, UVO disinfection is perfectly safe so long as it's used correctly.

Do be aware that because exposure to UV-C light can damage your skin or eyes (like exposure to sun rays would do), you need to keep people, pets, and plants out of the room while the Uvlizer is working.

The Uvlizer Home Disinfection device also has two great features to avoid accidental exposure to the UV-C light or ozone:

1. It has a remote control that can be used from afar
2. It has a self-delay timer for up to 30 seconds with beeping sounds, allowing one to leave the room before the bulb lights up.

UVO254™ Lamps combine UV-C and ozone to allow room-wide air and surface cleaning.

Traditional UV-C lamps can be helpful. It has been proven that they kill 99.9% of biological pollutants. Airlines and hospitals are even using them to ensure the safety of their spaces.

But there's a catch...

UV-C light is most effective when it lands directly on surfaces. If it's reflected, it quickly loses efficiency. As a result, UV-C lamps alone are ineffective for home use. A better solution is to use UV-C handheld devices to apply direct light to surfaces. But who has time for that? Plus, they don’t disinfect the air.

Ozone can be great on its own for some purposes as well. It reacts with germs, bacteria, viruses, and other organic compounds, giving it disinfectant properties.

That's why it's used in hospitals and operating rooms. However, depending on the size of the room, a traditional ozone generator should run for at least three to ten hours. For a whole house, at least 25-30 hours of continuous operation is required to eliminate most pollutants.

Additionally, you should avoid staying in the room while the ozone generator is running and find a new place to stay. After that, you need to wait another four-to-six hours for the ozone to dissipate.

So, by combining UV-C and ozone, you can get synergistic disinfection and increase the effectiveness of UV-C, while decreasing the time required for ozone to work. In 15-60 minutes, you'll get the same level of sanitisation as someone running an ozone generator for 25-30 hours.

Using UVO254™ bulbs, Uvlizer's lamp disinfects a room from top to bottom, including hard-to-reach places. It even disinfects the air.

UUV-C light does work on mould. However, some moulds are more difficult to kill and may take longer exposure times or multiple exposures.

Yes, UVO254™ lamps effectively kill bed bugs, pests, and insects.

Etymologists (scientists who study insects) and other specialists agree that UV-C light can kill insects and pests by mutating their DNA. Also, ozone in its gaseous form can kill insects and pests primarily by targeting their respiratory system.

The UVO254™ Lamp breaks down the allergens' DNA completely, making them non-identifiable to the human body and thus ineffective at triggering an allergic reaction.

The lifetime of the UV bulb is very long – over 5,000 hours. Think of it this way: if you use it every day, it will take more than 12 years to reach 5,000 hours.

If you do need a replacement bulb, don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and we’ll order one for you.

The UV output of all light tubes will very slowly decrease over time due to the buildup of residue inside the tube. However, industry experts say that you can operate a light tube continuously for up to a year – or 9,000 hours – before you need to replace it due to diminished UV output. That is well beyond the lifetime of the Uvlizer bulb, which is 5,000 hours, and will provide many years of effective sanitsation.

It’s best to use our UVBox, which is specifically designed for this purpose. However, you can create a disinfecting room with your Uvlizer by putting all the items you want to sterilise in there.
