Fresh-Aire UV 15" Replacement UV-C Lamp — Genuine 254 nm Quartz, 1-Year Effective Life

The Fresh-Aire UV 15" Genuine Replacement UV-C Lamp is a factory-made quartz 254 nm lamp designed to restore proper UV output in compatible Blue-Tube, AHU Series 1 and APCO MAG15 whole-house systems for about one year of effective service.

This replacement lamp is built to the original specifications for Fresh-Aire UV systems, manufactured from hard quartz with a shielded hot filament and a patented lamp base. It’s intended as a drop-in replacement to maintain the system’s designed ultraviolet output and performance. Use it when your existing lamp reaches the end of its effective life or when the system indicates reduced UV output.

How will this replacement lamp fit into my existing Fresh-Aire UV system?

The 15-inch lamp is specifically sized for Fresh-Aire UV Blue-Tube units, AHU Series 1, and APCO MAG15 models. It uses the same patented base and electrical connection style as the original part, so installation requires no special adapters. Always power down the unit before handling the lamp and follow the system manual for safe replacement steps.

• Exact length: 15 inches to match factory housings
• Connection: designed to fit the original patented lamp base
• Material: hard quartz tube for consistent UV transmission
• Installation: drop-in style for straightforward replacement

What performance can I expect over the lamp’s service life?

This UV-C lamp is warranted for one year of effective 254 nm output under typical residential operating conditions. UV lamps gradually lose output over time, so the one-year effective life represents the period during which the lamp meets the manufacturer’s specified UV-C emission level. Replacing the lamp annually helps preserve the system’s designed performance.

• Peak emission at 254 nm for intended germicidal applications
• One-year warranted effective output under normal use
• Consistent lamp construction to minimize output variance
• Recommended annual replacement interval for reliable performance

Are there special handling or safety steps I should follow?

Handle the lamp by the ends and avoid direct skin or eye exposure to the bulb while it’s energized. Because the tube is made of quartz, it’s fragile—protect it from impact and never force the lamp into the socket. Dispose of used lamps responsibly according to local regulations for mercury-containing lamps.

• Turn off power before removing or installing the lamp
• Handle by the base; avoid touching the quartz surface with bare hands
• Replace only with specified Fresh-Aire UV 15" TUVL-115 lamp
• Recycle or dispose of old lamps per local hazardous-waste rules

Who is this for: This genuine Fresh-Aire UV replacement lamp is for homeowners, HVAC technicians, and facilities managers maintaining Blue-Tube, AHU Series 1, or APCO MAG15 whole-house UV systems who want a like-for-like factory replacement. Choose this lamp if you value compatibility with original Fresh-Aire UV components, predictable one-year effective UV output, and straightforward installation when restoring your system to designed performance.
