10W T8 UV-A Insect Killer fluorescent lamp with a G13 bi-pin base, producing ultraviolet radiation at approximately 365nm to attract flying insects toward compatible electric insect killers and fly traps. The Radiant RLS1 features a compact 331mm format and is designed as a replacement lamp for compatible insect-control equipment.
What it is
The T8 10W G13 Insect Killer Fluorescent Lamp is a specialist UV fluorescent tube designed for use in compatible electric insect killers and insect-trapping equipment.
Rather than being designed for conventional illumination, the lamp produces UV-A radiation at approximately 365nm. This wavelength is commonly used in insect-control equipment to attract flying insects toward the appliance, where the equipment’s separate trapping or electrical mechanism captures or eliminates them.
The RLS1 uses a G13 bi-pin base, has a standard 26mm T8 diameter, and measures approximately 331mm long. Radiant specifies a service life of up to approximately 5,000 hours.
Importantly, the lamp itself does not electrically kill insects. Its function is to attract UV-responsive flying insects toward a compatible insect-killer appliance. The appliance then provides the actual trapping or killing mechanism.
Use Cases / Applications
- Electric insect killers
- Electronic fly killers
- UV insect traps
- Fly-control equipment
- Commercial kitchens
- Restaurants
- Food preparation areas
- Shops and retail premises
- Warehouses
- Workshops
- Commercial premises
- Replacement lamps for compatible 10W T8 insect-control equipment
Key Benefits
- Specialist UV-A insect-attraction lamp
- Approximately 365nm wavelength
- 10W power rating
- G13 bi-pin base
- Compact 331mm length
- Standard 26mm T8 diameter
- Designed specifically for insect-control equipment
- Suitable for compatible electric fly killers
- Chemical-free insect attraction
- Compact replacement format
The key performance characteristic is the lamp’s 365nm UV-A output, not its lumen output. Its purpose is to attract flying insects toward compatible insect-control equipment rather than illuminate an area.
Safety Compliance
