Soft-glass germicidal lamps operate at 180 mA to 425 mA. Configurations available include T4, T5, T6, and T8 (13, 15 or 19 or 25mm OD). They have a lower UVC output than quartz germicidal lamps. The UVC output is related to ambient temperature. With soft glass, automated lamp production is possible and there are several commercial ballast available for operation. Soft-glass lamps are available in compact fluorescent (CFL) configurations.
