    Ultra Violet Germicidal / Air Purifying Lamp

    Hi...

    Does anyone here own a UV germicidal / air purifying lamp? Just wanted to get some feedback on whether these are worthwhile and where I can buy one.

    Not sure if I should get one with or without the ozone generating capacity. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Ozone is toxic, so you don't want to be pumping that into your home.

    UV for air filters- useless idea at best, harmful at worst. Couldn't be arsed writing an explanation of why (have done so on Geo before), so Google it if you really want to know. Hint if you are looking online for information- ignore any website or information provided by a manufacturer of UV purifying machines.

    If you want an air purifier, buy a big HEPA air filter without any stupid-assed bells and whistles, and run it at medium or high speed.
