Hello there! I need your help.
I was trying to sterilize my mask against the coronavirus using an old UV fluo tube I had for another application. I could use this UV lamp on a 220V mains with a 22W ballast. This was working good (well I mean the lamp was lit ) but when I check the datasheet I realised that the nominal voltage of this lamp was 60V ! How come this is working without any problem on a 220V supply? What about the efficiency of the UV produced with this 220V when the nominal voltage should be 60V?
Cheers,
Mat
