Room Size As a general guideline, one Sanilume with a 75-watt lamp can disinfect approximately 700 sq. ft. (65.03 sq. m.) regardless of ceiling height, as Sanilume fixtures have adjustable apertures to emit more UVC light as ceiling heights increase. (The installation instructions explain setting the adjustable aperture for different ceiling heights).
Light Degradable Materials: UVC light can degrade plastics, fabrics and other light degradable materials. Any such materials that are within approximately 20 ft of the fixture and 7 ft. above the floor may degrade over longer periods of time. Occupant Contact: Care must be taken that the UVC energy fields not be in any line-of-sight conditions of any room occupants.
24/7 and the lamps be changed once per year. Sanilume Model Choice: The Sanilume SL-36KT-75 has a 75-watt UVC lamp, and the Sanilume SL-36KT-40 has a 40-watt UVC lamp. Spaces that have walls within 10 ft. of the fixture (not recommended) should use the SL-36KT-40 to avoid wall reflections that may exceed safety thresholds.

Fixture Mounting Heights & Site Planning: Aperture Adjustment Thoroughly Review the Site Planning Guide Before Beginning. There are several factors that must be considered before installing Sanilume fixtures. General Rule #1. The optimal Sanilume mounting height for spaces with higher ceiling heights will be the height that maximizes the irradiated space above the Sanilume, while not exceeding the irradiance thresholds below 7 ft.

Fixture Mounting Heights Site Planning & Aperture Adjustment Ceiling reflections. Reflective ceiling and exposed duct materials such as aluminum will greatly increase the potential for ceiling reflections being at an unsafe level. In such cases, ceiling to fixture distances can be increased and the aperture can be at a lower opening setting. Suspended Light Fixtures.

Make measurements with the sensor face at a 90-degree angle to the ceiling and floor and positioned in the center of the fixture (maximum UVC output). To test for proper UVC output, at a distance of 1 M from Sanilume SL-36KT-75, the reading should be about 240 / and 140 /...

Personal protection equipment, such as gloves; long sleeves with no gaps between cuffs and gloves, and ultraviolet resistant face shield, are required when entering the irradiated space, above 6 ½ feet from the floor, with the germicidal lamp operating. Always disconnect power to the fixture before performing any service or maintenance. Ultraviolet rays are harmful to the eyes and skin.
