Germicidal ultraviolet light is an effective, efficient, and sophisticated means of eliminating bacteria and germs on hearing instruments. It's a proven scientific technique commonly used in hospitals to disinfect surfaces and water treatment facilities to kill bacteria. Germicidal lamps are not to be confused with sunlamps or blacklights, for while those are also "ultraviolet" lamps, the UV produced by those types have longer wavelengths and are not useful for germicidal applications. Sunlight generally includes both the longwave UV and the middle wave UV regions. The lamp in Dry & Store Global II produces UV-C, which is the shortest wavelength. UV-C is also the most lethal to microorganisms. By disrupting the organism's DNA, UV-C effectively ends the reproductive cycle.
