Review: Received non-working UV light/ Read EDIT - Product came not working. Apparently there is a 50/50 chance you'll get a working UV light, according to reviews. Well we got a non-working light and to get it replaced is a nightmare! EDITING 7/17/26. There is a protection protocol on the pool filtering device. You cannot only plug it in, you must secure the cap so you don't accidentally get hurt. There is a hole that you can see through on the pool filter container that you can see when the UV light is on. OURS DOES work. It simply has a safety feature. 5 STARS
Review: Exact bulb for my Guardian - Same quality brand bulb for my Electrolux Guardian Air Platinum for a reasonable price. If course, it fits and works as it should. Replace it yourself and save, it's simple. Time will tell how long it will last, but I expect it will last several years like the exact same bulb I replaced.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The box I have from my previous bulb also has the number 618245.  It's for my pond filter.  I want to make sure this is the right one before ordering.**
A: Yes -- it is to an ultraviolet light that is a "tube" (water goes through the tube and the light bulb is encased).  It's to help kill algae.  Our light bulb is not part of the filter.  However, we have had great success with this purchase.  Hope this helps!

**Q: I was told this bulb would as a replacement however I have a 24vdc transformer plugged into the furnace lamp housing. This bulb is a 60v bulb??**
A: The unit that it fits has its own transformer. the unit plugs into 100V recep

**Q: Where can i buy the uvb lamp?**
A: Amazon or ebay

**Q: do they light up purple ?**
A: UV light looks like blue/violet thru the fiber optic in my duct bracket.  Purple is a close match.  Don't look directly at any UV light.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exact bulb for my Guardian

Same quality brand bulb for my Electrolux Guardian Air Platinum for a reasonable price. If course, it fits and works as it should. Replace it yourself and save, it's simple. Time will tell how long it will last, but I expect it will last several years like the exact same bulb I replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They work!!
*by D***S on June 11, 2024*

Been using these bulbs for awhile for my A/C unit. I installed a unit in my front access panel to my air handler to keep the mold from growing on my evaporator coil and I definitely see a difference. I will continue to buy these for the normal upkeep to my coil cleaning.
