Best suited for

This 8W fitting is sized for small enclosed spaces up to ~80 litres. Typical use cases include:

• Wardrobes, cupboards, walk-in closets
• Kitchen cabinets and pantry shelves
• Shoe-racks and entry-mud rooms
• Washroom and toilet cabinets
• DIY UV-C disinfection box — drop this tube into any custom enclosure for parcels, currency, phones, keys, mail
• Small water tank cleaning (drained, under ~200 litres)

How many tubes and how long do I need?

The simple rule (medical / hospital / dental / professional use):

1 × 4-foot 36W tube per 100 sqft of floor area, running for 2-3 hours, gives a good disinfection cycle.

You can trade tubes for time and vice versa. The total UV-C dose is roughly:

Disinfection dose = number of tubes × wattage × run time

• More tubes → less time needed. Two 36W tubes in a 200 sqft room reaches the same dose as one 36W tube in 100 sqft, in the same run time.
• Fewer tubes → more time needed. One 18W tube in a 100 sqft room needs roughly twice the run time of a 36W tube to deliver the same dose.
• Line of sight matters. UV-C does not pass through fabric, paper, or solid objects. Position the lamp(s) so all surfaces are exposed.

Common scenarios

• Hospital ward / OT / dental clinic, ~100 sqft: 1 × 36W (4 ft) tube, 2-3 hours.
• Salon / restaurant kitchen, ~150 sqft: 1 × 36W tube run 3 hours, or 1 × 18W (2 ft) tube run overnight.
• Drained water tank surface cleaning, ~100 sqft of tank interior: 1 × 36W tube, 2-3 hours with the tank fully drained and door closed. Most tank-cleaning operators use this for compliance documentation more than deep sterilization.
• Wardrobe / kitchen cabinet (~80 litres): 1 × 8W or 11W tube, 15-30 minutes.
• DIY parcel / mail disinfection box: 1 × 8W tube, 10-15 minutes per cycle.

Not sure how many for your space? WhatsApp our team with your room dimensions, ceiling height, and use case — we will recommend the right number of tubes and run time.

Using this tube inside a custom UV-C disinfection box

We used to sell ready-made UV-C disinfection boxes (60 L, 30 L, etc.) but no longer stock them. Most customers now buy our UV-C tube fitting and assemble a box themselves to fit their exact application:

• Mail and parcels: a simple cardboard or wooden box + this 8W or 11W tube works for routine intake disinfection.
• Tools, utensils, dental instruments: a small metal cabinet + 8W to 18W tube depending on cabinet size.
• Currency, wallets, mobile phones, keys: a small enclosure + 8W tube, 10-15 minute cycle.
• Larger items (kitchen tools, returns processing): 18W or 30W tube in a custom box.

WhatsApp us your application and rough item size and we will suggest the right tube wattage and rough box dimensions. The tube does the disinfection; the box just keeps the UV-C contained safely.

How to use this UV-C tube fitting

1. Remove the plastic protective diffuser from the top of the fitting before first use.
2. Plug into a 220-240V AC socket.
3. Vacate the room or close the cabinet — no people, pets, or plants should be present while the lamp is running.
4. Run for 15-30 minutes for routine small-space disinfection.
5. Switch off, then ventilate the space for 5 minutes before re-entering.

For ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted installation in showrooms, salons, or hospitals, any local electrician can install on a standard 220-240V circuit. For portable use, plug into any standard Indian socket.

Important safety

• UV-C radiation is harmful to skin and eyes. Never operate the lamp with people, pets, or plants present.
• Do not look directly at a lit UV-C lamp, even briefly. Use timers or remote switches.
• Ventilate the room for a few minutes after switching off, before re-entering (UV-C can produce trace ozone).
• UV-C will degrade plastics, rubber seals, and certain fabrics over long exposure. Remove sensitive items first.
• This is a UV-C light fitting — not a medical device, not a substitute for chemical disinfection or hand hygiene.
• Keep out of reach of children. Store in original packaging when not in use.

What this UV-C tube is NOT for

To save you a wrong purchase — this fitting is not designed for any of the following uses:

• Not a drinking-water purifier UV lamp. Drinking-water UV needs a sealed inline chamber where water flows through. This is an open fitting for surface and air disinfection. (Note: it CAN be used inside drained empty water tanks to sterilize the interior surface — that is a different use case from inline drinking-water purification.)
• Not a plant grow light. UV-C kills plant cells. Plants need UV-A or full-spectrum LED grow lights.
• Not a nail dryer or gel polish lamp. Those are UV-A (365-405 nm), completely different from UV-C (254 nm).
• Not a mosquito killer or insect trap. Those use UV-A blue light to attract insects.
• Not a fish-tank or aquarium inline UV sterilizer. Those are sealed flow-through UV-C units, not open fittings.
• Not for room illumination. UV-C is invisible and harmful to eyes. You cannot use this to light a room.

Warranty, lamp life, and replacement

• Fitting warranty: 1 year on the Oreva HPL fitting (manufacturing defects).
• Lamp life: Philips UV-C lamps are rated for approximately 8,000 hours of operation. After that, replace the tube — the fitting itself keeps working.
• Replacement bulbs: WhatsApp our team and we will ship a fresh genuine Philips UV-C lamp matched to this fitting.
• GST invoice: every order includes a full GST invoice for business buyers, hospitals, and institutional purchasers.
• Trade and bulk pricing: bracketed wholesale rates for hospitals, hotels, contractors, builders, and resellers. Register a trade account or WhatsApp our team.

Frequently asked questions

How many tubes do I need for my space?

For medical, dental, hospital and professional use: 1 × 36W (4 ft) tube per 100 sqft of floor area, run for 2-3 hours, gives a good disinfection cycle. You can trade tubes for time — more tubes need less run time, fewer tubes need longer. For small cabinets and DIY boxes (under 80 litres), a single 8W or 11W tube run 15-30 minutes is enough. Share your room size on WhatsApp and our team will tell you exactly how many tubes you need.

How long should I run this 8W UV-C tube?

For small enclosed spaces up to ~80 litres: 15-30 minutes for cabinet or box surface disinfection. Always operate with the space empty of people, pets, and plants.

Can I use this for water tank cleaning?

Yes — these tubes are commonly used to sterilize the interior surface of drained, empty water tanks (overhead, sump, RO plant) after physical cleaning. Place the tube inside the empty tank, close the access, and run for 2-3 hours. Most tank-cleaning operators use this for compliance documentation. It is NOT a substitute for an inline UV-C water purifier — those are sealed flow-through units for drinking water and work differently.

Do you sell ready-made UV-C disinfection boxes?

We used to sell ready-made UV-C boxes (60 L, 30 L, etc.) but no longer stock them. Customers now buy our UV-C tube fittings and assemble their own box to fit their exact application — a cardboard / wooden / metal enclosure plus the right wattage tube. WhatsApp our team with your application (mail, tools, currency, parcels, etc.) and we will recommend the right tube and rough box dimensions.

Will this work for my dental clinic / hospital ward?

Yes — UV-C tubes are widely used in dental clinics, OPDs, hospital wards, and OT staging areas for after-hours surface disinfection. For a ~100 sqft treatment room, use one 36W (4 ft) tube and run for 2-3 hours with the room sealed and empty. For larger wards, use more tubes positioned to cover all surfaces.

Is it safe to be in the room while the UV-C tube is on?

No. UV-C radiation damages skin and eyes. The lamp must operate in a fully empty, enclosed space. Use a timer or switch on from outside the room before closing the door. After the cycle ends, ventilate the space for 5 minutes before re-entering.

How often will I need to replace the UV-C lamp?

Philips UV-C lamps are rated for approximately 8,000 hours of operation. After that, the lamp loses germicidal output (it may still appear to light up, but UV-C intensity drops). Replace the tube — not the whole fitting. WhatsApp us with your fitting wattage and length and we will ship a fresh Philips replacement anywhere in India.

Does this come with a GST invoice?

Yes. Every order includes a full GST invoice. Important for businesses, hospitals, and institutional buyers who need input credit. GSTIN is on the invoice.

Do you ship across India?

Yes. India-wide insured shipping. Delivery is typically 3-7 days depending on pincode.

Do you offer bulk or trade pricing for hospitals, hotels, or contractors?

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.

Can I install this myself?

Yes — plug into any standard 220-240V Indian socket. For ceiling or wall-mounted installation, any local electrician can wire it on a standard circuit. WhatsApp us if you need installation guidance.

Can I see this product in a showroom before buying?

Yes. UV-C tube fittings are on display at all four of our Delhi NCR showrooms — Chandni Chowk, Bhagirath Palace, Kotla, and Ghitorni. See addresses and hours.
