No. Alpha UV System uses only genuine Philips UV-C lamps in every system we manufacture. We do not offer a cheaper lamp alternative because lamp quality is directly linked to disinfection effectiveness — a UV system is only as good as the lamp inside it. We are not willing to compromise on water safety.

Every Philips UV-C lamp has Philips certification documents, verifiable through the Philips official website. Alpha UV System provides lamp identifiers and original Philips certificates of authenticity with every order.

The model depends on system capacity and application. For drinking water and food & beverage, we use Philips low-pressure UV-C lamps. For high-turbidity wastewater (STP/ETP), we use Philips UV-C high-output lamps. Contact us with your flow rate and application for a precise lamp specification.
