The UVC lamp is primarily intended to demonstrate the photoelectric effect using a zinc plate and gold leaf electroscope. The lamp emits UVC light with a peak wavelength of 253.7nm and must not be used as a general-purpose UV light source. This lamp is an excellent replacement for the now obsolete Philips TUV6 lamp. The UVC bulb is housed in a robust Aluminium extrusion and is supplied with a 24V d.c. power supply.
