UV-C Germicidal Lamp for Sterilisation
The OSRAM 59985 G36T8/OF HNS is a 36 watt T8 fluorescent tube that emits UV-C radiation peaking at 254 nm. It is designed for disinfection of water, air and surfaces in commercial or industrial systems. The G13 bi-pin base fits standard 47 inch fixtures. Buyers needing visible lighting or a different tube length cannot use this lamp.
Thermal Performance and Power Draw
The lamp operates at 36 watts and produces minimal ozone because the outer glass absorbs lower wavelengths. Normal use generates typical fluorescent-tube heat without forced cooling. The low mercury content and special coating support a rated life of 9000 hours, exceeding 8000 hours under standard cycling. No additional power or noise figures are provided.
Ozone-Free Coating and Lifetime Benefits
The PURITEC HNS coating suppresses ozone formation, enabling chemical-free sterilisation that is environmentally friendly. Long service life reduces replacement frequency and maintenance effort. Low mercury content eases eventual disposal. No bundled accessories or software are included with the lamp.

Questions about this item
How do I install the OSRAM 59985 G13-base UV-C lamp, and what step is often missed?
Switch off the fixture, align the two pins on each end with the G13 sockets, and rotate until they lock; the step people miss is confirming the ballast is rated for a 36 W T8 lamp before restoring power.
What maintenance or replacement will the OSRAM 59985 UV-C lamp need later?
Replace the lamp after approximately 9000 operating hours because UV-C output at 254 nm drops below effective sterilisation levels even though the tube still glows.
What limit appears first when the OSRAM 59985 lamp runs continuously?
UV-C irradiance at 254 nm decays gradually, so disinfection effectiveness falls before the 9000-hour rated life ends, requiring scheduled replacement to maintain performance.
