Philips Sterilamp 13W GX23 UV-C Bulb

This Philips Sterilamp bulb is a 13-watt germicidal light source with a GX23 two-pin base. It is designed for UV-C disinfection systems in residential or commercial settings. The ordering code is 135020 and the rated life is 9000 hours.

Installing the GX23 two-pin base

Align the pins with the socket and press firmly until the bulb seats securely in the fixture. Always disconnect power before handling the lamp to avoid electrical shock. The bulb emits UV-C radiation that causes severe eye and skin injury; never operate it outside an enclosed, interlocked system. Do not look at the illuminated lamp or expose unprotected skin at any time.

Checking fixture compatibility before ordering

Verify that your equipment accepts a GX23 base and is rated for a 13-watt UV-C lamp. Confirm the ballast or driver matches the bulb specifications for proper ignition and lifespan. Ensure the housing provides full UV containment with safety interlocks to prevent accidental exposure. This bulb is not suitable for general illumination or standard lighting sockets.
