UV replacement tubes & UV replacement lamps: Maximum attraction for your light trap systems
The effectiveness of any UV insect killer depends entirely on the quality of its light source. UV replacement tubes and lamps are high-performance components designed to attract flying pests using a specific wavelength spectrum (UV-A). Since the intensity of the UV radiation decreases continuously during operation, regular replacement is essential for maintaining your hygiene standards. Hygiene-shop.eu offers a comprehensive range of professional light sources, including shatterproof versions for use in sensitive HACCP areas.
Performance matrix: UV replacement tubes & UV replacement lamps
UV-A spectral range
Professional UV replacement tubes emit light in the range of 365 nm to 368 nm. This corresponds to the visual spectrum of flying insects and guarantees the highest catch rates.
HACCP safety
Our UV replacement lamps are available with a special FEP coating. This shatter protection prevents food contamination in the event of lamp breakage.
Perfect fit
We carry UV replacement tubes in the common designs (T5, T8, T12) and performance levels, suitable for all leading brand insect killers.
Maintenance cycles for audit security
In food processing plants, the annual replacement of UV lamps is a mandatory part of IFS and BRC requirements. Even if a lamp still glows blue, the UV phosphor loses its attractiveness after approximately 8,000 to 9,000 hours. Documented replacement of the UV lamps ensures your compliance with quality management regulations.
Optimization of the light trap through high-quality light sources
The effectiveness of your pest control depends directly on the intensity of the radiation. While cheap imports often deliver unstable wavelengths, our UV replacement tubes guarantee a consistent attraction effect throughout their entire operating life. To get the full performance from your UV replacement lamps , the reflectors of the device should also be cleaned when changing them. This ensures that the UV light can shine unimpeded into the room to maximize the attraction rate and sustainably reduce insect pressure in your premises.
FAQ - UV Technology Inspection
Insects cannot see blue light; they react to UV-A radiation. Because the UV phosphor ages faster than the gas for visible light, UV replacement tubes lose their attraction long before they "burn out".
Standard fluorescent tubes are optimized for visible light and often filter out UV radiation. Genuine UV replacement tubes are made of special glass that allows short-wave radiation to pass through unhindered, in order to achieve the desired effect in pest control .
In all "glass-free zones" of food production, UV replacement lamps with shatter protection (FEP coating) are mandatory. This is the only way to prevent even the smallest glass fragments from entering the food chain in the event of damage.
