This is a replacement 15W UV-A tube for the TurcoBazaar GC230 electric insect killer. It emits ultraviolet light at 365 nm wavelength to attract flying insects in commercial food preparation areas. Typical service life is 6,000 to 8,000 operating hours depending on ambient conditions.
Commercial Application
UV-A lamps lose effectiveness over time even when still emitting visible light. Insect attraction drops as phosphor coating degrades. Replacement at scheduled intervals maintains attraction performance and compliance with food safety audits.
Lamps run continuously during operating hours in kitchens, prep areas, and storage zones. A 15W tube covers the GC230 unit rated for spaces up to 80 m². Performance testing should occur every six months in high-traffic commercial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this lamp suitable for commercial food premises?
A: Yes. It meets CE requirements for food service environments and carries certification applicable to UK, EU, USA (NSF), and Canada (CSA) hygiene standards.
Q: How often should UV-A lamps be replaced?
A: Replace every 12 months or 8,000 operating hours, whichever comes first. UV output degrades before visible light output, reducing insect attraction even when the tube still glows.
Q: Do you ship replacement lamps worldwide?
A: Yes. We ship to UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Middle East, and Africa. Single tubes ship via standard courier. Bulk orders for multi-site operators use consolidated freight.
Q: Can I order spare lamps for multiple locations?
A: Yes. Contact us for multi-site supply agreements or annual maintenance contracts. We support hotel chains and catering groups with scheduled component delivery.
Q: What support is available after purchase?
A: Technical guidance on replacement intervals and installation provided by UK-based support. Spare components for GC230 units held in stock. WhatsApp contact available during business hours.
