UV-C Germicidal Bulb for Sterilisation

The Bulbamerica GFT24DL delivers 24 watts of UV-C output at 254 nm through a single T4 tube with a 2G11 four-pin base. It is intended for air, water or surface disinfection systems that require ozone-free operation. The special outer glass absorbs lower wavelengths to prevent ozone formation during use.

Practical Limits of UV-C Disinfection

Effectiveness drops sharply outside the 254 nm peak, so the lamp must match the fixture's spectral requirements exactly. The 8,000-hour rated life defines the replacement interval; output decays before visible failure. Ozone suppression is built into the glass, not an external filter, so the tube itself must remain intact.

Replaces 24 W 2G11 T4 Germicidal Lamps

This bulb is a direct swap for existing 24 W 2G11 single-tube models such as the 20849 reference. The upgrade is worth it when the current lamp has reached its rated hours or when ozone-sensitive environments demand the outer-glass absorption feature. It does not fit 2G7 or other base types.

Questions about this item

Which wattage and base version of this germicidal bulb matches my fixture?

The bulb is a 24 W T4 lamp with a 2G11 4-pin base, so it fits fixtures designed for that exact wattage and base type.

What does the 254 nm output mean for actual disinfection performance?

At 254 nm the lamp delivers UV-C irradiance that inactivates microorganisms, and the outer glass suppresses ozone formation for safer operation.

How does the 2G11 interface limit the electrical and spectral characteristics in practice?

The 2G11 4-pin base connects to compatible electronic ballasts that drive the lamp at 24 W, maintaining the rated 254 nm output for the 8,000-hour life.
