UV Light, 36W Quartz Ultraviolet Lamp with Ozone, Remote Control Timer, UV-C Ultraviolet Light for Household Kitchen Hotel Pet Area Office

During the height of the pandemic, I looked into buying a germicidal lamp, but of course they were quadruple the price with wait times of several months. There seemed to be little point, but the idea stayed with me and so when the price came down, I bought this one. Mildew is a constant problem in our shower in spite of constant cleaning and I thought this might be a good, non-invasive way to get rid of it. The UV light alone would be lethal, but it wouldn't penetrate deep into mildew and so I opted for the model that produces ozone. Setup is simple - you just plug it in, close the door and push the button on the included remote to set the time. If you dare to look, you'll see that a light on the unit flashes for several seconds to give you time to get away from it, and then the UV light comes on. After it's done, there is a very strong odor of ozone that can persist for days if not ventilated, so I would definitely not use this in a room that doesn't have adequate ventilation. Simply leaving a window open overnight is enough to clear the smell in the room.The important thing is that it works. After a 30-minute treatment, the mildew peels right away when hosing the shower down. It isn't perfect, but it makes it much easier to clean the tile and to keep it clean. I new use this lamp a couple times a month to keep the bathroom clean and fresh.

This little UV light system did a fantastic job at cleansing all areas of my home after a visitor exposed us to Covid19. It had to be used separately in each area with a door...behind the door. But the room certainly smelled clean--almost TOO clean-- when the unit was done running and I waited another hour before I opened the door to the room. I went in, opened an outside window, took the UV unit out of the room, and let the room "breathe" fresh air for another hour.This process was repeated for each area with a door. For large open areas, I followed the directions and removed plants, etc. as directed, turned on the unit for an hour, then left the house and returned in a few hours. When I returned, I opened outside windows and again left the area (it's Winter here and cold) for another hour.When everything was aired out, I replaced all the bedding and towels which had been removed and laundered in very hot water before I used the UV light unit.I would highly recommend this unit to others who want to be sure their living quarters are clean after someone has been ill...be it a bad cold, flu, Covid, or any other contagious infection.

I have been using this light almost daily if not weekly in the house, not sure if it's working (how does one know if it is working?). The only drawback I can see is the ozone odor produced by the light. It's almost mandatory to have an open window and a fan blowing in the room as the light works, as the ozone odor is quite overpowering. I see other UV lights at barns, grocery stores and even hospitals, and they don't produce the ozone odor. What's the difference. Is this light doing more harm than good? I am not sure.

After reading reviews I figured I would wait a few weeks before reviewing. So far I’ve used it in total about a dozen times. And as long as you plan your hours out. the ozone smell can be tolerated just don’t go home for 3-4 hours after it’s off. I leave fans on and a slight window crack. Makes it better. I also noticed the ozone smell gets not as intense over using it more. Only thing I wish is to have some test strips to know if it is actually working…. First night of use in bedroom. Everyone slept better. Could have been coincidence tho not sure…. But overall I am satisfied. Only thing I would say is buy test kits cause the “banana” test is to Annoying and if your like me and don’t hAve time to test bulb. Then test kit or I’ve been looking at more expensive ones that detect the uvc with a electronic tester…... Other then that so far I am enjoying it! And FYI the coil is noticed are white on both sides I’ve seen this in other videos so I think that is normal I have not noticed problems. Prolly just the electron reaction to the bulbs functionality.

I am in love with this light. I actually purchased 3 of them. (I live in a 3 level home) I tested this product with a UVC indicator, it registered UVC. I have a 4 year old, a 10 month old and 4 dogs. My home has never smelled like animals and I am able to feel comfortable that my toddler can crawl on our floors even with animals. This product does an amazing job of destroying orders of any kind. The ozone feature is the best! With the issues present with COVID I am able to sanitize my home before and after anyone comes by. When selling items online I sanitize the items and wrap them up. My husband and I decided to rent a home in Colorado for a get away... I am bringing it with us to sterilize the home ourselves before we get comfortable in the home. I have even used it in my car. I am in love with how easy it is to do a good job cleaning up an area big or small. This is the one you want!

really works well, run it 2x and that room stinks like ozone bad, have to open window to air it out

I was excited about this lamp. It went well the very first time. I used the 15 min setting for my girl's restroom as recommended and could smell ozone when I came back. Then I took it to her bedroom and set it for 30 min, heard the beeping sound, and left the room as recommended. When I came back after 45 min the ozone smell was very minimum. I was a little puzzled. When my daughter came home and I was super excited to tell her that both her bathroom and bedroom were sanitized. So she took it to her walk-in closet and set it for 15 min to test, heard the beeping and tried to peek the light from the mirror and... NOTHING. Then she asked me why the bulb filaments are white. What a killjoy! It was good that Amazon allowed me to return it since it was still day 1.
