Signify launches residential UV-C table top lamp in Asia and Middle East

Signify has revealed that it has begun selling a glass mercury-vapor UV-C residential tabletop lamp under its own label in Asia and the Middle East to help combat the novel coronavirus.

Countries include China, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines, and the UAE.

The exposed mercury vapor glass lamp emits ultraviolet radiation at 254 nm, and would thus be harmful to skin and eyes, as is characteristic of C-band UV. With a range of 100–280 nm, “C” is the shortest of the three ultraviolet bands.
