FAQs
What is the expected lifespan of this UV lamp?
The STAR LIGHTING S463RL UV Lamp has an effective hours rating of 10,000 hours, which translates to approximately one year of continuous use in many standard applications.
Is this lamp compatible with all UV water purifiers?
No, this lamp is designed for specific UV water purification systems that require a T5 style quartz glass bulb with a 4-pin base (one end) and a length of approximately 436mm. It is compatible with several listed cross-reference part numbers, but you should verify your system's requirements.
How often should I replace this UV lamp?
It is generally recommended to replace the UV lamp every 12 months or after 10,000 hours of use, whichever comes first, to ensure optimal germicidal performance.
What does 'OEM Quality' mean for this lamp?
OEM Quality means that the lamp is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards and performance of the original equipment manufacturer's lamp, ensuring a reliable and effective replacement.
Can I touch the glass of the UV lamp when installing it?
It is best to avoid touching the quartz glass with bare hands. Oils and fingerprints can reduce UV transmission and potentially lead to hot spots on the bulb. Use a clean, lint-free cloth if handling is necessary.
What is the base type of this lamp?
This lamp features a 4-pin base on one end.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Check that the power supply is connected and functioning. Ensure the lamp is securely seated in its 4-pin base. Verify compatibility with your ballast or power supply.
Reduced water purification effectiveness
The lamp may have reached its effective lifespan (10,000 hours) and needs replacement. Clean the quartz sleeve for optimal UV transmission. Check for any obstructions in the water flow.
Lamp flickers or pulses
This could indicate an issue with the ballast or power supply. Ensure connections are secure and the power source is stable.

Compatibility:
This lamp is designed as a replacement for systems using specific UV bulbs. Verify that your system requires a T5 style quartz glass bulb with a 4-pin base on one end and has a compatible length (approx. 436mm). It is a cross-reference for part numbers including S5Q-PA, S5QPA, S5Q-PA/2, S5QPA/2, S5QPA-2, S5Q, S5Q/2, S5Q-2, S5Q-GOLD, and 05-0510. Always consult your equipment manual or contact the manufacturer if unsure.
Care:
