How Long do you have to hold the light over the item to be disinfected? The description doesn't say how long - does anyone know?

The following is copied from the Mfg's website with regard to your question... Disinfection of items or surfaces can generally be achieved by holding the UV-C Light Wand over an object or surface for 20 seconds at a distance of approximately 2-inches. A Tip for you... check out the Halo UV Vacuum...it has a UV light on the underside of the vacuum cleaner and sanitizes and disinfects as you vacuum. This can be done on carpet and hard surfaces. Really cool item.

It's a motion detector light, so I don't see why it should stay on for 2 hours. Mine is set for 10 minutes, or so. I've had mine for a year or two, and haven't yet replaced the bulb.

the light can be set to stay on for up to 15 minutes when activated by motion. I have had mine over a year and have not had to change the bulb yet. I expect it to last several years.

I purchased a UV light. Depending on the wattage is how long it will take you. Mine is 34 watts. It takes about 30 mins start to finish.

You can use any form of light. let it sit in the light for 15-30 mins and they will glow. The glow will fade over around 30 mins

Yes the light is on a timer, I'm not sure how long but it seems like about 10-15 minutes. But it will turn off by itself.

Not long, about 3 to 4 min. I have it in the garage. The problem is when I work in the garage, it turns off after a few min and I have to move around to turn it back up again. May need an alternative light source.

JNH sells a bulb that is supposed to "ionize" the air to clean it, but frankly, I am not sure it does anything. I am also not sure it needs "sterilizing." It is wood and it heats up to 140 degrees in dry heat. Not ideal conditions for germs to live. We only sit on towels and my husband and I are the only ones using it. That said, we have scrubbed it with a spray disinfectant but honestly, I do not feel it needs frequent cleaning.

I want to use this ozone generator in my lab, to sterilize every surface or air. I don't have windows and i don't want to leave the door open and new contaminates enter. How long should i wait to be safe to enter the room with no windows and door closed after 2 hours of treatment? 24 hours?I know people tend to open windows and door, but that's not want i want because i want to have the room as sterile as possible.

I honestly never had this problem. What I made sure to do is that when I put up the lights I made sure that it was low humidity. Seems to me that the failure has to do w/ humidity if using it outdoors. If inside #1 that A-shouldn't be a problem and B-regardless of using it indoors or outdoors if you go slowly it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't lost a light yet and I've been using these a bit over 2 months now. Also I believe if you bring it to an electronics store like Best Buy and buy some double sided electrical tape that's thin and about the same width that should take care of the problem safely. Don't buy masking or regular shipping tape as that is unsafe. If you have other concerns I'd contact Tao Electronics directly as they're very helpful and their email support is open 24/7. Hope this helps you out.

I am not good at judging lengths of time, however it stays on quite a while maybe 15 - 20 seconds. If it goes off as soon asyou get in front of it will come of it the lamp comes back on. I LOVE mine.

Heya TimBucky............NO,NO,NO..........These HPS LIGHT should NOT have ANYTHING on them, and of they do-it must BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU USE THE ITEM..........................MINE DID NOT COME WRAPPED IN ANYTHING-It was however, secure fr shipping-Obviously, if you see a (potentially) VERY Hot light-bulb with a Plastic wrapper-one just MUST remove the outer plastic BEFORE using oit.

It is not recommended to use the light in enclosed fixture not due to safety but due to the impact on lifetime of the lamp. LEDs do not like heat and depending on the heat generated in the application, the hours of usage, the life of the lamp may be shortened. The lamp features over temperature protection. In the event the ambient temperature of the application gets too warm (exceeds 45C) the lamp will dim down to allow it to cool off. Replace and forget!

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

I have not measured the temperature after the light being continuously on for a long time, but there is a plastic shroud over the electrical terminals. If the light gets too hot it will melt the shroud. I hope that will not happen.

The light stays on as long as it detects movement and it is dark. Once movement is no longer detected, it takes about 20 seconds or so to shut off.
