Cold Cathode Germicidal Lamps

Cold cathode germicidal lamps are instant starting and utilize a large cylindrical cathode instead of a tungsten filament. Due to this construction the lamp is not adversely affected by frequent starting and the life is considerably in excess of other lamp types. Cold cathode germicidal lamps have favorable operating characteristics and maintain a high ultraviolet transmission throughout life even at reduced temperatures. They are, therefore, widely used in walk-in refrigerators and holding rooms. cold cathode germicidal lamps are well suited to disinfection of air and surfaces of unoccupied areas due to their long life and low depreciation. Cold cathode germicidal lamps are also employed in applications where frequent starting is a requirement.
