VGE T5 80W Amalgam UV-C Lamp – 4-Pin Base X (F980010AM)
The F980010AM is a T5 amalgam UV-C replacement lamp delivering 80W of germicidal power. The amalgam technology keeps UV-C output stable across a wide temperature range, making it the preferred choice for outdoor pool and pond UV-C systems where water temperatures fluctuate seasonally.
Amalgam Technology for Consistent Performance
Standard low-pressure UV-C lamps lose output efficiency when water temperatures drop below 20°C. Amalgam lamps maintain over 90% UV-C output from 5°C to 40°C, ensuring year-round disinfection effectiveness without any performance compromise.
Annual Replacement Recommended
UV-C lamp output degrades gradually over time even when the lamp still appears to illuminate. Replace every 8,000–9,000 operating hours (approximately one year of continuous use) to maintain full disinfection performance. The AM suffix indicates this lamp is supplied in individual retail packaging.
