Why are Steril-Aire devices better?


- Back to Steril-Aire page -

Steril-Aire's UVC Emitters™ work better and last longer. Independent testing proves that our UVC Emitter output is significantly higher than the competition at all temperatures.

Only Steril-Aire delivers:

  • 3-4 times longer life: UVC lights lose up to half their output over a year. Competitive UVC devices must be changed every 3-4 months because they quickly lose the output needed to maintain microbial control. The UVC Emitter, by contrast, has a 12-month service life -- and even after a full year, it has 2-3 times greater output than competitive devices deliver on day one! As a result, only Steril-Aire can ensure the germicidal performance you need, with no return of microbial growth, for 3-4 times longer than the competition.

  • Independently verified output: Tested in accordance with the general provisions of the Illuminating Engineering Society's 1981 Applications Volume.

  • A patented state-of-the-art solid state electronic power supply for enhanced reliability and performance.

  • High performance construction, including stainless steel housings with high spectral aluminum reflectors, and thick-wall quartz tubes.

  • Many sizes and configurations to fit the widest range of applications -- externally mounted, internally mounted, and portable.

  • Complete technical and engineering support with in-house expertise in both HVAC technology and microbiology. Lowest life-cycle cost of any UVC product.


The service life and germicidal effectiveness of UVC devices relate directly to how much output or intensity they deliver. There are many UVC products on the market today that claim to work just like Steril-Aire. But in truth, their performance claims are derived from tests conducted at 90° F still air rather than 45° F moving air.

Buyer beware: In cold/moving air, output of these competitive lights is much lower than the advertised output at 90° F.
