We see a lot of buyers chasing 254nm for suface sterilization and then realizing they need to match teh ballast or starter—this model uses a hot cathode with single end four pins, so check your existing fixture compatibility before ordering, as the IHCF - SL - 16 is a dedicated lamp, not a universal replacement for all housings.

Rated at 65W with a 254nm output of 140uw/cm² measured at 1 meter, it pushes about 100 lm/W in luminous effiency, but realistically the UV-C output is what matters for disinfection, and the 19mm diameter quartz tube holds up well over the 10,000-hour rated life—though some see drift in output past 8,000 hours or so depending on cycles.

we don't always put in the spec sheet is the warm-up time: it takes roughly 3 minutes to hit peak UV output from cold start, so for automated remote-control sterilization cycles (which it does support via button or IR remote), you'll want to factor that lag into timing.
chassis is lightweight and portable, but it's not designed for damp environments—the quartz tube and exposed pins degrade fast in humidity above 60%, so this is better for dry indoor use in hotels or offices rather than, say, a bathroom after a shower.

our company can do custom tube lengths and wattage adjustments at MOQ of 100 units, and the minimum order for stock models is typically around 20 pieces, with a lead time of 25-30 days for first orders; origin is Jiangsu, shiping via sea or air with full COA and SDS availble on request.
MOQ is typically 50 units per model, but we can discuss smaller trial orders if you're just starting out. Just reach out to our sales team.
Lead time is usually 15-20 working days after order confirmation and deposit. If you need it faster, we can prioritize for an additional rush fee.
Yes, we can provide CE and RoHS compliance documents upon request. Just let us know which certification you need, and we'll include it with the shipment.
The 19mm tube and 140uw/cm² output are standard for this model. Customizing those specs would require a new tooling setup, so MOQ would need to be higher—at least 500 units.
We pack each lamp in a foam-lined carton, with individual slots to prevent contact. For larger orders, we use reinforced corrugated boxes with dividers. No issues with damage so far.
