Frequently asked questions

What size UV-C tube do I need for my room?

Match wattage to room area as a starting point: 8W-11W for small cabins, cars and cabinets up to ~80 sq ft; 15W-18W for clinic cabins and consultation rooms up to ~150 sq ft; 30W-36W for showrooms, classrooms, salons and wards up to ~300 sq ft. Larger rooms simply need more time, or multiple fittings. Use the wattage and length filter on the product grid above, or message us on WhatsApp with your room dimensions.

UV-C vs UV-A vs UV-B — what is the difference?

UV-C (200-280 nm, peaked at 254 nm) is germicidal — it disinfects surfaces and air in closed empty spaces. UV-A (315-400 nm) is used in nail-dryers, banknote checkers and bug-zappers — not germicidal. UV-B (280-315 nm) is what tans skin and is used in some medical phototherapy — also not germicidal. Only UV-C disinfects, and only at the right wavelength and dose.

How long do I run a UV-C tube?

Typical guidance: 15-30 minutes for a small closed room with the lamp at full output, longer for larger rooms or higher ceilings. The room must be sealed and empty of people, pets and plants. Use a timer or remote switch and step out before turning it on. Every fitting we sell can be paired with a basic plug-in timer if you do not already use one.

Is UV-C safe for pets and plants?

UV-C is unsafe for any living tissue — humans, pets, plants — during operation. Before switching on: remove pets, cover or move plants, and close the door. After the cycle ends, ventilate the room for a few minutes before re-entering. Used correctly, UV-C is a clean, residue-free disinfection method.

Are these genuine Philips with warranty?

Yes — all 9 SKUs use genuine Philips UV-C bulbs and carry the standard Philips warranty. Jainsons Lights is an authorised retailer; you get the same bulb and the same warranty as you would from a Philips channel, with our four Delhi NCR showrooms for hand-over service.

Do you ship across India?

Yes — we ship India-wide with insured logistics. Delivery is typically 3-7 days depending on pincode. GST invoice is included on every order.

Do you help with installation?

Most fittings are plug-and-play (cord + switch). For ceiling or wall-mounted setups in showrooms, salons or hospitals we can guide your electrician on WhatsApp. Get in touch or message us on WhatsApp with your space layout.

Do you offer bulk / institutional pricing?

Yes — bracketed wholesale rates for hospitals, hotels, contractors, builders, resellers, and institutional buyers. Register for a trade account or WhatsApp our team for a bulk quote.

How UV-C disinfection works

UV-C light at the 254 nm wavelength is the germicidal band used inside hospital sterilization equipment, lab biosafety cabinets and water-treatment plants. When the lamp is switched on in an empty enclosed space, the radiation breaks down microbe DNA on exposed surfaces so they can no longer reproduce.

Coverage depends on lamp wattage, distance from surfaces, and exposure time. UV-C does not pass through fabric, paper or solid objects — line of sight to the lamp is needed.

How to choose the right wattage

Match lamp wattage to the size of the closed space you want to disinfect.

  • 8W & 11W (10in - 1ft): wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, shoe-racks, washroom shelves, DIY UV-C boxes under 80 litres.
  • 15W (1.5ft): salons, dental cabins, small offices, rooms up to ~100 sqft.
  • 18W (2ft): clinic OPDs, mid-sized offices, restaurants, rooms up to ~150 sqft.
  • 30W (3ft): hospital wards, large kitchens, conference rooms, gyms up to ~250 sqft.
  • 36W (4ft): OT/ICU, large showrooms, warehouses, classrooms up to ~400 sqft.
  • Box-type 36W: enclosed UV-C boxes for parcels, currency, tools, kitchen utensils, mail.

Larger spaces simply need more time, or more than one fitting. WhatsApp us your room size and we will recommend.

Setup and safe operation

Each fitting is plug-and-play. The 8W and 11W cord-switch variants need no installer at all.

  1. Remove the plastic protective diffuser from the top of the fitting before first use.
  2. Plug into a 220-240V Indian socket.
  3. Switch on from outside the room and shut the door.
  4. Run for 15-30 minutes for small spaces, 45-60 minutes for larger rooms.
  5. Switch off and ventilate the space for 5 minutes before re-entry.

Critical: UV-C is harmful to skin and eyes. Never operate with people, pets or plants present. Never look at a lit lamp.

Lamp life, warranty and replacement

Philips UV-C lamps are rated for approximately 8,000 hours of operation — after that the lamp loses germicidal output and should be replaced. The lamp is treated as a consumable.

  • Fitting warranty: 1 year on the Oreva HPL fitting (manufacturing defects only).
  • Lamp warranty: standard Philips warranty against early failure. The UV-C tube itself is a consumable.
  • Replacement bulbs: WhatsApp us with your fitting wattage and length and we will ship a fresh Philips UV-C lamp anywhere in India.
  • GST invoice: every order includes a full GST invoice for business and institutional buyers.

For bulk orders, hospital purchase orders or institutional pricing, register a trade account or message us on WhatsApp.

What UV-C is NOT for

Before you order, please make sure UV-C tube fittings are the right product for your need. They are NOT designed for any of these uses:

  • Water purifier or aquarium UV: water sterilization uses a sealed inline UV-C chamber, not an open fitting.
  • Plant grow light: UV-C harms plant tissue. Plants need UV-A/B or full-spectrum LED grow lights.
  • Nail dryer or gel polish lamp: those are UV-A at 365-405 nm, a different wavelength altogether.
  • Mosquito killer or insect trap: those use UV-A blue light to attract insects, not UV-C.
  • Tanning, party lights or black light: those are UV-A.
  • Resin curing or 3D printing: uses UV-A LED arrays, not UV-C tubes.
  • Room illumination: UV-C is invisible and harmful to eyes. You cannot use it to light a room.
