What Are Ultraviolet Light Bulbs?
Ultraviolet light bulbs are bulbs similar to other incandescent light bulbs that produce higher amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light than other bulbs. These light bulbs can be used in a number of different industries and fields, from plastics and paper that are cured using UV light to tanning beds, bug zappers, and even microbial sterilization. Less effective versions of UV bulbs can also be made by using standard incandescent light bulbs and altering the glass of the bulb in order to filter out more non-UV light. Ultraviolet light bulbs are typically specialized bulbs, however, that often have glass that is treated to further increase the UV output of the bulb.
