Hi,
another MII product will be launched soon . After we tested the chinese made submersible UV lights we found out that the result is not satisfying at all. The main reasons for the failure of these UV lights were the quartz tube which is of low quality and does not emmit the necessary light waves of 253,7 Nm in a sufficient amount. Also the light bulb seems not to be of good quality and we could not avoid algae growth when using these UV lights.
Therefore we looked for high quality components such as:
-Philips UV (PL-type) with 55Watt
-Ozone free quartz glass that is specially designed for UV applications emitting min. 87% of light waves in the 253,7Nm
spectrum (that's the frequency actually killing the algae)
-stainless steel cap with double sealing made from Viton (the highest quality seals available)
-Philips electrical unit (Balas)
-integrated counter for the operating hours (makes it easy to follow up when the bulb needs to be changed, usually after
8000-9000 hours)
The dia. of the UV is approx. 55 mm and the length (incl. the cap) is only 600mm (even with 55 Watt power).
The launching of the UV light will be at the KOI's festival on 30.05.2009. Ready stock will be available in July (we are waiting for shipment the quartz sleeves).
