    I could hardly believe it when I saw this video about UV lights show up on RUclips because I had just been wondering about them. That same day I had told my husband that the air purifier in our room needed new UV light bulbs. Soon after I started wondering just how effective UV lights are. Thank you so much for answering my questions.

    These low power devices are going to work in a matter of seconds as they say. Normally, it would take about 20 to 30 minutes to be effective. If you want an effective UVC sanitizer, you would need to purchase one of the commercial units for about $150. These units can put out about 45 Watts of UV light. You definitely will have to wear gloves and protective glasses to use it!
