What magnitude of irradiance is required?
If the required power is,say, 500w continues, or more, that's going to get quite expensive to run.
For example, where I live running a 500w device 24/7 is going to add an extra $1100 a year to the power bill.
- tzs 6y agoLooking at germicidal bulbs at 1000bulbs.com, the highest wattage bulb they have is 65 watts [1]. Most are well under that. Looking at random in-duct systems, it looks like they range from 1 to 10 or so bulbs with the later being for commercial buildings. Home systems seem to lean toward 1 or 2 bulbs of maybe 20ish watts or so total. This site [2] says typically $15-30 per year energy cost [1] https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/113917/AU-LG64T5L.html https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/113917/AU-LG64T5L.html [2] https://www.pickhvac.com/faq/hvac-uv-lights/ https://www.pickhvac.com/faq/hvac-uv-lights/
