Replacement for Tetra Pond 26557 - 18W, 4-Pin Base

A germicidal replacement for the Tetra Pond 26557, this 18-watt tube emits UV-C light at the optimal 254nm wavelength. It's engineered to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens on contact.

Short-wave UV-C at 254nm is lethal to microorganisms - it disrupts their DNA structure, preventing reproduction and neutralizing pathogens on contact. This technology underpins hospital sterilization protocols and municipal water treatment. Note that UV-C requires direct exposure and doesn't work through glass or around obstacles.
