Did you notice that they showed the disinfecting lights and they were all glass tubes?? If you want to find out if your UV LED puts out UV-C, do the green banana test. Search for green banana uv test on YouTube. Big Clive has a video on how it&#8217;s done. If your UV light uses LEDs it is very doubtful that it will put out UV-C. Don&#8217;t be fooled by false advertising for LED lights that will sterilize!
