Product Information
Full details
The Osram PURITEC HNS 24W 2G11 is a specialized germicidal lamp designed for professionals and facility managers looking for effective, chemical-free sterilization of air, water, and surfaces. It offers a consistent 254 nm wavelength for reliable pathogen reduction, though users must exercise extreme caution as its UV-C radiation is hazardous to human skin and eyes and requires fully enclosed, light-tight housing for operation.

FAQs
Can I use this bulb in a standard desk lamp?
No. This is a germicidal UV-C lamp that poses severe risks to skin and eyes. It must only be used in specialized, enclosed, and light-tight fixtures.
Does this lamp produce ozone?
No, this specific model is ozone-free.
What is the expected lifespan of the HNS 24W lamp?
The lamp is rated for approximately 9,000 hours of effective service life.
Why is the light intensity not visible like a normal lightbulb?
The lamp emits energy in the UV-C spectrum, which is largely invisible to the human eye. Do not look at the lamp to check if it is working.
Is the 2G11 base universal?
The 2G11 base is a standardized 4-pin configuration, but always ensure your ballast is rated for 24W to prevent damage to the lamp or the unit.
Troubleshooting
Lamp fails to ignite upon installation
Check that the 2G11 base is fully seated in the socket and inspect the ballast for proper compatibility with a 24W load.
Lamp flickering during operation
Check for loose wire connections in the housing or verify that the electronic ballast is supplying the correct voltage.
Noticeable drop in disinfection efficiency
Verify if the bulb has reached its rated 9,000-hour lifespan or if the quartz glass requires cleaning from accumulated dust/deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 2G11 base is straightforward: align the four pins with the socket and press until secure. Because the lamp utilizes UV-C radiation, you must ensure your device has a safety interlock system that cuts power if the unit is opened during operation. When handling the lamp, avoid touching the glass tube with your bare fingers, as oils from the skin can create hot spots that reduce the lamp's lifespan; use a clean, dry cloth or gloves. Always dispose of these lamps through regulated hazardous waste or mercury recycling programs, as they contain trace amounts of mercury.
