Quartz Germicidal Lamps are low pressure lamps that generate most of the energy at 254nm (253,7nm - Mercury line) and some energy at 185nm. In medical terminology they are known as UV-C lamps. The mechanical structure of a germicidal lamps is the same as for a Miniature Cold Cathode Florescent Lamp but instead glass the envelope is manufactured with quartz. At these wavelength the most bacteria, spores and viruses are complete destroyed.
