What Is an Ultraviolet Lamp?
An ultraviolet lamp (UV lamp) is a lamp that emits light outside of the visible light spectrum. Though it may seem like such a light serves no useful purpose, an ultraviolet lamp can be used in applications such as security and decontamination, a complex industrial application, which has a direct effect on people’s safety. These lamps may be situated in a fixture much like any other lamp, but ultraviolet bulbs will look different, usually having a darker color.
