Has anyone used a UV-C lamp for disinfecting common items?
How good do they work, especially killing disinfectant-resistant microbes like MRSA & COVID-19? Can a UV-C lamp (one of the really large ones) kill germs floating in the air inside your home or inside a public place? I only have 2 hand-held UV-C lamps (1 battery powered for the car & the other for around the house) but I can't tell if these UV-C lamps really work | ||

Beware the LED ones, most are fake. UVC LEDs are stupid expensive to manufacture, so unless you paid a lot for it, it's probably quackery. The glass-looking bulbs are the real deal. (They're actually quartz glass, because regular glass blocks UVC.)
Be cautious using them, though. They will give you sunburn quickly. That includes the skin on your eyeballs. Mind, you won't know you got sunburn until the next day. | ||

Regular borosilcate glass-what most lamps are made from block UVB(tanning)and C(germicidal)But pass UVA long wave-"black light" if the bulb is Woods glass or fixture equipped with Woods glass filter. | ||

It's better to just live with germs, you go around killing every germs you see you ruin your immunity to germs and you end up getting sicker way faster. It's part of the reason why it spread so quickly, too many people are germophobic and ended up making themselves more susceptible to it as they have no resistance.

Polio lamps According to Robert, our esteemed host, he has washing machines with Polio lamps in them that help prevent polio. He says he's never had Polio so obviously they work. | ||
