EFK Device Lamp
The lamps used in Killzone Fly Trap Devices to attract flying pests are German-made SYLVANIA UV lamps.
Our devices offer a choice between two types of UV lamps: one with Teflon coating for shatterproof capabilities, and another without Teflon coating.
UV lamps emit 100% UV-A light at 368 nm. The average UV light emission lifespan is approximately 5000-8000 hours, which is why the manufacturer recommends replacing the UV tubes every 12 months. In Killzone Fly Traps, we use T8 15 watt (43 cm) and T12 20 watt (60 cm) UV lamps.
In developed countries such as the EU and the USA, food manufacturing facilities use UV lamps coated with high UV transmittance Teflon (PTFE) to prevent product damage if the lamp breaks.
What is a Shatterproof Lamp?
It’s the precaution taken to prevent the dispersion of toxic gases and glass shards when UV lamps used in our fly trapping and killing devices break. UV lamps, when manufactured in their regular form, are highly fragile and susceptible to breakage due to any number of reasons. To prevent the spread of toxic phosphor gas and glass shards into the surrounding environment (whether it be a cafeteria, bedroom, or any other space) when they break, UV lamps are coated with Teflon. The lamps in our devices are equipped with shatterproof feature.
This “shatterproof” feature as been made mandatory for use in food manufacturing facilities in these countries.
Teflon (PTFE) is the material with the highest UV transmittance (97%). It never yellows or cracks due to its high heat resistance. Teflon-coated UV lamps used in our devices;
FDA 21 CFR177.1550 (Fluorescein Resin Content (lamp) )
BRC 3.2.2.2.6.2 (Shatterproof Lighting for Insect killer (lamp) )
It complies with international standards such as EN 61549:2003+A3:2012 (Miscellaneous lamps_shatterproof (lamp)).
