The wrong lamp might fit,
but that doesn’t mean it will work. Get it wrong and a mismatch can reduce performance,
waste energy, or even cause disinfection failure. So how can you find out what the specification of your UV lamp is?
1. Check the Box (Yes, Really!)
The easiest and most accurate way
to identify your replacement lamp? Keep the original box or supplier
documentation.
Quality manufacturers include the
lamp reference number right on the packaging. If you’ve ordered from
Alpha‑Purify before, you’ll find our reference number:
-
Etched
directly onto the quartz tube
- Printed
on the box
If you have that code, we can get
you a perfect match… fast.
2. Cross-Reference the Original
Part
If you don’t have the box, don’t
panic.
We’ve built and maintained a lamp
database with over 20,000 UV lamp specifications.
That includes
cross-referenced models from other manufacturers.
So even if your system was
supplied with a different brand, we can likely identify a direct match based on
the original part number.
The operating system itself (via documentation or
electronic readout) many also contain lamp specification details.
Just send us what you’ve got and we’ll
take it from there.
3. Use the Alpha-Purify Lamp
Specification Form
When there’s no reference number
or supplier info available, we can still help. The best thing to do is download
and fill in our UV Lamp Specification Form.
This form captures everything we
need to accurately manufacture a replacement lamp that will perform correctly
in your system.
Download
it from here: Alpha‑Purify Downloads
The form covers:
Lamp
dimensions and electrical info
Power
supply details
Quartz
and end cap types
The more details you can provide,
the quicker the match.
Final Tip: Don’t Guess
It might be tempting to go by
looks or rough measurements but small differences can have big consequences.
If you're unsure, send us photos
of the lamp, any system nameplates, or previous purchase
records. Our team is here to help.
