OSRAM G30T8/OF 30 W germicidal tube

The OSRAM G30T8/OF is a 30 W germicidal tube that emits UV-C radiation at 254 nm for disinfection applications. It uses a G13 base and a T26 form factor. This lamp is intended for professional water treatment, air purification or surface sterilisation systems that require targeted UV-C output.

Check G13 base and 96 V ballast compatibility

Verify that the fixture accepts a G13 bi-pin base and is rated for a 96 V lamp voltage before installation. The tube requires a compatible ballast to operate at its specified 30 W power. Ensure the housing provides adequate UV shielding because the 254 nm output is harmful to skin and eyes during exposure.

PURITEC HNS technology extends service life

The PURITEC HNS design delivers high UV-C radiance while maintaining low mercury content. Rated life exceeds 8 000 hours with a maximum of 9 000 hours under normal operating conditions. This reduces replacement frequency in continuous-duty disinfection equipment compared with standard germicidal tubes.

Questions about this item

Does the OSRAM 21086 germicidal tube come with a starter or ballast, or must they be purchased separately?

The tube is supplied as the lamp only; a compatible G13 starter and ballast rated for 30 W at 96 V must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 30 W 96 V G13 version or a different wattage for my existing fixture?

Select this 30 W 96 V G13 model only if your fixture is labelled for those exact electrical ratings; other wattages will not operate correctly.

What does the 254 nm UV-C output mean for actual disinfection performance once the lamp is installed?

At 254 nm the lamp delivers germicidal UV-C irradiance; effective inactivation depends on distance, exposure time and airflow, with a rated life of 9000 hours.
