UV duct light in flowhood?
    #18423843 - 06/15/13 03:39 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

I'm about to start a flow hood build.  I was thinking about adding a hvac uv duct light between blower and the hepa filter.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/281119291543?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I have read the tek about adding a uv light, but this one looks a little more heavy duty.  I have tried 6 grows now, with 6 fails.  I need to do something drastic!

any thoughts?

your building a flowhood so why bother since a high quality proper heppa filter will filter out 99.9999% of contaminant particles of (i cant remember the size think its .3 microns) size

Also note that the effectivness of UVC sterilisation also depends on length of exposure to UVC. Would particles whizzing by at speed have enough exposure to have an effect.
