I think all that is going on here is that Ultra Viloet rays eliminate contaminates somehow, and these lights are just powerful UV's I guess

i don't think so...since it is intended for houses and everyday use like regular bulbs...

True. I think they just eliminate airborne bacteria, maybe only the bacteria that hits the light. Sounds like it could help with cleaniness procedures though and any help is good help.

Sorry I thought you were refering to the type of germicidal bulbs you posted in the second link as this is the only kind I was aware of. I should have looked instead of assuming but I've heard of those otherones and even had one up until a few months ago when it broke. I never used it for mycology it was actually from my sister who worked at a hospitial and went in my room. This does sound interesting though..

Like they said them mini flouros you got are just plain ones, they work great for growing though, I use a bunch of them..great for all lights too but if they are germicidial they clearly state that and you'd know.

Sorry about the first post I was tired and cranky I guess :smile: Good luck and let us know what happens!

my guess is the UV rays could damage or mutate your mushrooms... but -

when used in combination with a HEPA filter, this could help create a cleaner room to innoculate/G2G/agar, etc. i see this as worthwhile.

oh, and i found a HEPA filter for a 10 x 10 room at wal*fart for about $30. let me find the link and i'll post it up... i think i'm going to get it for my grow room/closet.

Yea, if anyone ends up using the thing, let us know! I'll almost certainly be getting one, but that could be awhile from now...
