General Info

Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation is an established quartz lamp manufacturer. Founded in 1963, Atlantic Ultraviolet has manufactured ultraviolet water purifiers, ultraviolet air and surface sanitizers and ultraviolet germicidal lamps. The business started in Long Island, N.Y., as a manufacturer of germicidal ultraviolet fixtures and equipment utilizing germicidal ultraviolet lamps to destroy bacteria, mold and virus in air and on surfaces. Its Ster-L-Ray germicidal lamps are short wave low pressure mercury vapor tubes that produce ultraviolet wavelengths that are lethal to micro-organisms. Germicidal lamps should not be confused with sunlamps or black light lamps because while these are also ultraviolet lamps, the ultraviolet produced is of longer wavelength and is not useful for germicidal applications. Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation is located in Hauppauge, N.Y.
