Second time I am purchasing this product: replacement UVC bulb for Honeywell UC36W 1006. I am very happy with this product. It does have to be replaced annually though. You should not wait until the bulb dies out before replacing it because UVC light is invisible. Some of the light is visible violet light, which may still be visible even after 5 years. However, the invisible UVC light that kills viruses and bacteria is only produced by this bulb for about a year. Then it has to be replaced even if the bulb appears to still be working.

This bulb fit perfect into the socket and works great. My connector requires a slot in the bulb base to plug in. I emailed customer service to insure that this bulb had the slot. Ryan emailed me right away and confirmed that it is slotted. I think this bulb should work in connectors that don't require the slot also since both have 4 connectors and appear to be the spacing. I am very pleased with this product and the customer service at Discount Filters. I will be ordering my parts from them and highly recommend them.

This Fresh Air Bulb does the trick for the whole year. The company is also top notch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are UV lamps and how do they work?

Ultraviolet (UV) lamps are also called UV bulbs or germicidal lamps. A UV system can be added to your existing heating/cooling system near your AC evaporator coil or directly in the airstream. UV light is germicidal, which means it deactivates the DNA of microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, short-circuiting their ability to multiply and cause disease and unwanted odors.

How often should I change my UV bulb?

Annual UV bulb replacement is recommended annually. Over time - the output intensity of UV germicidal lamps will decrease. So - even if an old bulb is lighting up/turning on, it may not be nearly as effective as it once was.

What’s the difference between UV and UVC?

"UV" is a general term for ultraviolet. The "C" in "UVC" describes the specific UV wavelength that has been found to have germicidal properties. UVC or UV-C light is traditionally referred to as "germicidal UV" because of it’s proven ability to kill bacteria, mold, and fungi.

Is UV light bulb replacement easy?

Yes. Consult the owner’s manual for information on replacement. Usually, UVC bulb replacement is a simple matter of turning off power to your HVAC system, removing a few screws, and inserting a new bulb. There is no reason this can’t be a DIY project.
