Compact UVC lamp for small systems

The Philips TUV PL-S 11W G23 germicidal bulb is a single-tube UV-C source rated at 11 watts. It is intended for disinfection equipment where a compact UVC emitter is required. The 285650 model uses a two-pin G23 base for straightforward insertion. Buyers who need higher UV-C output or a different base type will not be served by this lamp.

Fits tight designs with single-ended base

Its compact dimensions allow integration into small-system layouts without a large footprint. The single-ended G23 base means the lamp connects from one side only, simplifying wiring and fixture design. Lamp replacement is carried out by unplugging the old tube and inserting a new one. Installations that require a four-pin or screw-in connection cannot use this bulb.

Steady UV-C output over 9000 hours

The lamp delivers constant UV-C output throughout its rated 9000-hour lifetime rather than fading quickly after an initial burst. This behaviour supports consistent disinfection performance during extended operating cycles. Systems that demand a shorter warm-up or a different spectral distribution should evaluate alternative sources.
