UVC Germicidal Bulb - DANGEROUS But Useful Ultraviolet Light

In this video I review this UVC ultraviolet lamp/bulb and explain how it works, if it can kill viruses, if it produces ozone and whether or not that's all a good idea. I go over the risks and benefits of owning one of these lights and talk about some of the things it's helpful for.

Wow! Thanks a lot for the warnings! I just salvaged a UVC bulb from a broken air purifier and was testing it out with no protection. I will not be doing that again. Appreciate your video, good Sir!

After my third time burning my eyes with the same bulb in 2 weeks not knowing what was happening, this explains it all.i was dumb and didnt think I'd need eye protection for the very short time I was exposed, about 2 minutes spread over 7 hours. These things arent for kids or the unknowing. Wear ppe always

Excellent review without being overly heavy on the technical physics.

And it should be pointed out that the UVC light does not work in areas where shadow is being cast. You’ll need to move the lamp to areas of shadows in order to disinfect those areas.

I was about to buy this for fun, but I saw this video. Thanks for the information

Thank you for saving my already damaged eyes. This was everything I needed to know about these. I'll definitely get some ppe eyewear if I go down the route of using these bulbs.

[BoboChuggins]

Great explanation! Could've read about it but you did me the favor. Thank you.

How long we need to open up the window and how long we need to wait until it's safe please 🙏

You've got such a smooth calming voice
Lovely voice I'd say

[UKTedd]

Best info on this topic that I have found -thank you

[michealrose]

Excellent video, thank you for posting

This is a great review! I was thinking of adding a few of these to my crawlspace under the house. I think I will do that. I'm planning on turning them on for maybe 30 minutes at a time every so often to keep mold from growing. If you think this is a good idea please leave me a reply.

Thanks again for the great info! 👍

Thanks a lot mate, great review - very informative 👍

I've actually got this same bulb; Coospider. The amount of Ozone it outputs isn't actually enough to properly shock a room- you'd have to have the bulb running for 12-24 hours to get the amount of ozone needed to kill odors instead of just temporarily masking it. Ozone also inhibits UVC, so you actually get less UVC radiation with ozone as opposed one that's been doped with ozone-blocker.

Hey, where can I found the piano theme at 3:05? Please

Basically any infection departments in any hospital has those for daily room treatments. Why basic things have become so controversial these days :D Thanks for the video!

I'm experiencing this eye pain right now. Its the third time. I thought it was something else that caused my eye, face, head and neck burns but nope! I wish i had seen this sooner! The pain is excruciating!!! And I can hardly keep my eyes open to type this out. I wish i had listened to people when they talk about how dangerous uvc lighting is. Only 2 minutes of exposure has me wishing i can scoop out my eyes to gain some sort of relief. Lubricating eye drops aren't helping at all this time around.

Uvc cannot damages things inside glass and or plastic bottles? Like wine, liquor and medicine?
