  • 25 W UV-C output at 253 nm wavelength for CDC-recommended disinfection
  • Inactivates bacteria up to 8 feet away in 30 minutes
  • Fits standard E26 and E27 screw sockets at 120 V
  • Compact CFL design sanitises electronics, cutlery and eyeglasses safely

Purpose and fit

The Jaspertronics 25WUV-C is a 25 W germicidal UV-C lamp with an E26/E27 screw base for 120 V mains. It targets households and small workspaces that want surface sanitation on personal items such as phones, keyboards, eyeglasses and cutlery without liquid chemicals. Buyers needing whole-room air treatment or disinfection of large furniture should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power

The lamp draws 25 W at 120 V and emits UV-C energy centred at 253 nm within the 240–280 nm band. It produces no audible fan noise because there is no moving parts cooling system. Surface temperature rises during the recommended 30-minute cycle at distances up to 8 feet, so the fixture should be rated for the heat of a 25 W compact fluorescent load.

Accessories and software impact

The package contains only the bulb itself; no remote, timer, motion sensor or mounting hardware is included. Because there is no bundled control software, the user must supply a switched socket or plug-in timer to enforce the 30-minute exposure and to prevent accidental UV exposure to eyes or skin. Adding an external timer is the only way to automate safe operation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 25 W UV-C bulb in an E26 or E27 socket without damaging the pins?

Screw the bulb into a standard E26 or E27 socket at 120 V until snug; do not overtighten, as forcing the base can crack the glass envelope or strip the socket threads.

When will the 254 nm UV-C output drop enough to require replacing the lamp?

Replace the bulb when the 253 nm germicidal intensity no longer achieves 99.9 % inactivation at 8 feet within a 30 minute cycle, typically after the rated hours for a 25 W CFL UV-C source.

What is the first safety limit reached during a continuous 30 minute disinfection run?

The 253 nm UV-C irradiance at 8 feet is calibrated for a 30 minute exposure; exceeding that time increases the risk of eye and skin burns without added germicidal benefit.
