Philips Germicidal T5 Sterilamp

TCLP-Compliant,

Featuring ALTO®Lamp Technology

The Philips Germicidal T5 G64 Sterilamp is the first germicidal lamp in the industry to pass the federal EPA’s TCLP test for low mercury level and can be characterized as non-hazardous waste.

Philips pioneered the low mercury technology for general lighting T8 fluorescent lamps under the designation of ALTO. As an ongoing initiative to reduce mercury levels in arc-discharge lamps, Philips has expanded the ALTO family of lamps to include the popular low pressure G64 T5 germicidal types commonly used in air and water disinfection applications.
