- I received this Daily Top Ultraviolet Germicidal Lamp from the company to try out and review. I am not receiving any monetary or additional compensations for this video.
I truly was excited to receive this lamp, especially with the condition of my bathroom and the renovation it's undergoing. Plus with all my cats and the age of the house, I feel like the environment of my house will greatly benefit from this UV light!

That's a more advanced unit than what I use, having that nifty motion-sensing safety feature. I originally purchased mine to sterilize N95 masks for personal reuse (I work in a hospital) when our hospital could not procure enough masks for one-time use (they were hen's teeth at the time, being nearly impossible to locate and substantially marked up if found for sale).
What struck me was the amount of ozone my particular unit produces. I was greeted with a nosebleed the first time I used mine after entering the test room. I didn't know the "burning wire" odor I was smelling was actually ozone and despite only being in the room long enough to see that the banana as well as a UV-C detection card were dark (perhaps 10-15 seconds), it was in sufficient concentrations for physical issues to quickly manifest.
Ozone also kills microbes, so in combination with the actual UV-C light, it's a potent one-two punch. However, UV-C lamps theoretically shouldn't produce ozone, so my unit must also produce light in a different spectrum, likely an ultraviolet of a shorter wavelength. No biggie, I just have to wait 45-60 minutes for the ozone to convert from O3 back to O2.
I believe your unit may generate ozone as well as another RUclips review of the same unit had the reviewer complaining of the smell, so just be aware. Ozone is unstable and won't remain in the air long, but while it does, it can cause issues with your mucus membranes, causing respiratory issues... and apparently nosebleeds.
Thanks for your review.
Thank you for watching AND thank you for all the insight!!! I wasn't sure if that smell was ozone, but now I guess I can't deny it. I also have a skincare device that creates that same smell (which is now concerning). I'm sorry you had to find out through experiencing the nosebleed. I haven't felt any negative impacts yet, but I'm glad you let me know because I don't want to risk it affecting my cats either. I'll be sure to keep the rooms blocked off longer after using the light.
I really appreciate you sharing your experience!!!
Nice review. Good explanation. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback!!
Hi there, any update for this product?
I still use it but not as frequently as I would like because I don't want to wrangle & keep my cats out of certain rooms. I do think it helped out in the bathroom. The renovation has taken longer than expected so the wall has been exposed to continue observing. With all the water damage that was uncovered, the mildewy smell that had lingered went away after using it 2 days in a row (2 times a day, placing it closer to the damage area) and there was no signs of mold. It also worked well for curing uv resin for craft projects, haha. But I just learned that the smell it creates is ozone, which can be problematic. But avoiding the room for an extra 45 minutes should take care of that.
Is it Dangerous??!, I regret to buy ,I want try to return
I have not had any bad experiences with mine, but I'm aware that it can be dangerous if used incorrectly or around living things (especially pets and plants!). I pinned a great and informative comment above left by @snowdogthewolf , which brings up the concern of ozone. I think the most important thing, other than making sure that there's no living objects around, is to let the room sit for 45+ minutes after the light goes off, just to be extra safe.
Sorry, but unless you use a doseage meter you really dont know if this thing is working. Leaving an odor doesnt really prove much. Some of my friends leave odors. 😨
