From the local "Grants Pass Aquarium" page
www.grants-pass-aquarium.com/2021/05/aquarium-pond-uv-replacement-bulbslamps.html
UV Bulbs from AAP | UVC Replacement Germicidal Lamp | Aquarium & Pond
These are NOT the "LOW-END" Medium Pressure UV Lamps (often with as 7% UVC or in other words 76% less UVC output) sold elsewhere at prices less than the cost to produce the Hot Cathode, Low Pressure Mercury, Highest Output Germicidal UVC Lamps/Bulbs we sell!!!
So when you purchase a 9 watt UV replacement bulb via eBay/Amazon for $10 or less instead of AAP, you just reduced the output of your UV device by 75%, making it a pretty blue clarification at best device!!
