As an important component of the air purification system, the UV-C lamp destroys airborne germs and bacteria trapped in the filters. It is compatible with the Leitz TruSens Z-1000 air purifier. The UV-C lamp reduces the growth of odor-causing microbes on the surface of the air purifier filter. Microscopic organisms in the air can become trapped in air filters, where they can multiply if left untreated. When airborne bacteria and viruses are exposed to the germicidal wavelengths of UV-C light, their reproduction and risk of infection are halted. A control light on the display indicates when the UV-C lamp needs to be replaced. Package includes: 1x replacement UV lamp for Leitz TruSens Z-1000 air purifier, dimensions (WxHxD): 20 x 25 x 130 mm, weight: 8 g.
