Ultra-Violet (UV) light is invisible to the human eye and is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C.
UV-C is found within 100-280 nm range. In the graph can be seen that germicidal action is maximized at 265 nm with reductions on either side. Philips Low pressure UV-C lamps have their main emission at 254 nm where the action on DNA is 85% of the peak value and 80% on the IES curve. As a result, our germicidal lamps are extremely effective in breaking down the DNA of micro-organisms. This means that they cannot replicate and cause disease.
Micro-organisms effective resistance to UV light varies considerably. Moreover, the environment of the particular micro-organism greatly influences the radiation dose needed for its destruction.
Most competitors use full plastic housing, which is easily damaged after short exposure to UV-C. The Philips UV-C Disinfection Desk Lamp has a full metal housing which lasts longer when exposed to UV-C.
A high-quality microwave sensor is used to detect humans and animals. Upon detection, the UV-C Disinfection Desk Lamp automatically ceases operation.

Recommendation
Disinfection time:
Bathroom/Kitchen: 15 min
Bedroom: 30 min
Living room: 45 min
Disinfection effectiveness will vary depending on disinfection timing, distance and type of surface/object
*living room – 28m2, 3m range, bedroom – 20m2, 2.5m range, bathroom/kitchen – 13m2, 2m range.
2 year warranty from the date on the receipt or proof of purchase. The Philips UV-C Disinfection Desk Lamp will be replaced on a 1-to-1 basis, as it can only be replaced as a whole.
*The product’s effectiveness in the inactivation of certain viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi or other harmful micro-organisms is as described in the user manual accompanying the product. Signify does not promise or warrant that the use of the product will protect or prevent any user from infection and/or contamination with any viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, illness or disease.

This UV-C device is not approved and/or certified as a medical device, and it can’t be used for the disinfection of the surfaces of medical devices (such as medical devices in a room, surgical masks and/or surgical respirators.
Based on the data made available to us by the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) at Boston University, which will be the subject of a forthcoming scientific publication by Boston University, in a laboratory setting, Signify’s UV-C light sources irradiating the surface of a material inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease) ata UV-C dose of 5mJ/cm2 (exposure time 6 seconds) resulted in a 99% reduction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus present on that surface. The same study determined that a UV-C dose of 22mJ/cm2 results in a reduction of 99.9999% of SARS-CoV-2 virus on that surface (exposure time 25 seconds).
The NEIDL is a state-of-the-art research facility that encompasses significant containment laboratories at Biosafety Level -2, -3, and -4.
The experiment based upon which these test results and data were obtained was conducted by Dr. Anthony Griffiths,Associate Professor of Microbiology at Boston University School of Medicine, and Dr. Griffiths’ team, at the premises of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratoriesat Boston University, located in Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America.3 Research variables are available upon request.
