That means you can slip them right into the fixtures you already have. No hassle. No re-engineering. The whole point is simple: produce shortwave UV at 253.7nm to knock out microbes. To get that output, the tubes run on high voltage—around 400V. That keeps the arc stable the moment it sparks, so it runs steady and reliable. The T5/T8 shape is intentionally compact. It packs a lot of surface area into a short length, so you get concentrated UV power even in tight spots.</p>
