Q&A

Is UV Lamp Safe?

UVO disinfection is perfectly safe if it's used correctly.

Because exposure to UVC light can damage your skin or eyes (like exposure to sun rays would do), you need to keep people, pets, and plants out of the room while coospider is working. This is the small price you pay for a 99.99% allergen-free, germ-free, and garden-fresh space.

The Coospider Home Disinfection device also has two great features to avoid accidental exposure to the UVC light or the Ozone. (1) It has a remote control that can be used from afar, and (2) it has a self-delay timer for up to 30 seconds with beeping sounds allowing one to leave the room before the bulb lights up.

Does it work on mold?

UVC light does work on mold. However, some molds are more difficult to kill and may take longer exposure times or multiple exposures.

Does it work on bed bugs? Insects?

Yes, UV lamps effectively kill bed bugs, pests, and insects.

Etymologists (scientists who study insects) and other specialists agree that UVC light can kill insects and pests by mutating their DNA. Also, Ozone in its gaseous form can kill insects and pests primarily by targeting their respiratory system.

What happens to allergens and germs after being broken down?

The UV Lamp breaks down the allergens' DNA completely, making them non-identifiable to the human body and thus ineffective at triggering an allergic reaction.

How long does the bulb last? What if I need a new bulb?

The lifetime of the UV bulb is very long! It's over 5,000 hours. Think of it this way: if you use it every day, it will take more than 12 years to reach 5,000 hours.

If you do need a replacement bulb, don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and we can order one for you.

Does the UV light lose potency over time?

The UV output of all light tubes will very slowly decrease over time due to the buildup of residue inside the tube. However, industry experts say that you can operate a light tube continuously for up to a year - or 9,000 hours - before you need to replace it due to diminished UV output. That is well beyond the lifetime of the coospider bulb, which is 5,000 hours, and will provide many years of effective sanitization.
