But not all handheld devices are created equal. Here are a few factors to consider when buying a handheld ultraviolet disinfection wand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntensity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe higher the wattage of a handheld device, the more UV output it will have. The more UV output, the faster it will deactivate harmful microbes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, higher-wattage UVC handhelds will cost more and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prolampsales.com\/pages\/germicidal-lamps\"\u003egermicidal bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e will be more expensive or more bulbs will be used in the fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor deactivating small viruses or bacteria, a low-powered handheld may be enough. But for medical settings or when used to eradicate hardier molds and fungi, a higher-powered fixture makes more sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, higher-powered UVC fixtures use longer light bulbs. The shorter the fixture, the more portable it is, and the less likely you'll bump it into things and damage the device or bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA longer fixture, though, gives you more coverage of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prolampsales.com\/pages\/ultraviolet-light-bulbs\"\u003eUV light\u003c\/a\u003e, making it faster to sanitize tables, desks, countertops, and other surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome manufacturers include additional technology in their devices, which may increase the overall length of the unit, despite using the exact same length of bulb as a shorter unit overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction material can be a secondary concern when buying a handheld UVC, but it can make a difference in several ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnits constructed of stainless steel are often sturdier than those made of plastic. And one good thing to check for is the presence of a reflective material inside the unit to direct light downwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases, the type of material used can relate to the warranty of the fixture. Plastic fixtures often have a shorter warranty period than steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prolampsales.com\/pages\/germicidal-uv-c-lighting\"\u003eUVC light\u003c\/a\u003e can degrade plastics, resin, rubber, and other materials, but does not degrade steel. Differences in construction material can make a difference in price, but also longevity of the fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother secondary concern is power options. Many low- and medium-powered fixtures on the market are battery-operated and cordless, while most of the commercial, higher-powered fixtures are designed to be plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordless fixtures provide portability, although charging and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prolampsales.com\/pages\/germicidal-uv-c-lighting\"\u003ereplacement batteries\u003c\/a\u003e become a concern, in addition to replacement UVC bulbs.
