Here are the specifications for the bulbs we use in all of our products


Our bulbs are Mercury bulbs and have a very small amount. The Mercury Ozone is less than 0.05 ppm (parts per million), though the ozone dose varies throughout the chamber.

UV Wavelength is 254nm.

UV Dosage is 60 mJ/cm2 b1 watt for each bulb.

UV can be as high as 1500 mJ/cm2 depending on the object's proximity to the bulb.

The Irradiance for the PhoneSoap 3 is around 2000uW/cm^2

A typical bulb lifespan is 4,000 hours; the bulbs are designed so that they will burn out before the potency is compromised. These bulbs will work at 100% effectiveness until the bulb no longer works.
