You know the unit. Now pick the matching tube, set the annual cycle, and keep the UV output up.

Annual UV tube cycle is the audit standard for HACCP, SQF, BRCGS, and WQA. The tube still lights well past 12 months but UV output drops 40 to 50 percent, which the auditor measures with the date sticker on the unit, not a UV meter. Mains-powered units must be RCD-protected and AS/NZS 3760 test-and-tag compliant.

UV Lamps & Tubes FAQs

Replacement UV lamps and tubes for Pest IT fly units. Viper, T8, BRC, UV starters. Cycle annually for catch rate.

UV tubes drive the catch rate on every fly unit on the wall. Output drops 40 to 50 percent over twelve months even when the tube still lights, which is why the audit standard is annual cycle, not when-the-tube-fails.

The Pest IT range carries tubes, T8 UV tubes, and BRC formats across all unit families. Decision factors are unit match, versus T8, wattage, and starter requirement. Order with the glueboard so service runs in one visit.

Choosing the right UV lamp or tube for an Australian commercial fly unit

UV tubes drive the catch rate on every fly unit on the wall. Output drops 40 to 50 percent over twelve months even when the tube still lights. The audit standard is annual cycle, not when the tube fails.

When to choose

tubes draw around 40 percent less power than T8 UV equivalents and last 12 to 18 months between changes. Run across modern Viper Attack and any group operator chasing energy KPIs. The Viper UV T8 8W Tube and Viper Tube 4W are the standard replacements for new-build food and hospitality fleets.

When to choose T8 UV tube

T8 UV is the proven workhorse for legacy Viper Strike units, BRC Inoxtrap, and any chassis built for the original UV format. The Viper UV Tube 15W and BRC UV Tube are the standard replacements. Cheaper per tube, shorter life, higher energy.

Matching the tube to the unit

Each fly unit product page lists the required tube spec, wattage, and starter requirement. Order off the unit page if you have it bookmarked, or use this Type page to find the match. The UV Starter in this type is the standard replacement for legacy T8 chassis that need one.

Setting the annual cycle for audit

Annual cycle is the standard for HACCP, SQF, BRC, and WQA. Set a reminder against the install date so the cycle does not drift. Document each tube swap on the treatment register with the unit ID, the install date, and the cycle date.

How to order at scale

Use the Spec Your Project form with your unit fleet by site and your audit calendar. We will send back a tube order with cycle dates set ahead of the annual swap, so replenishment lands before the auditor visits.
