The UV Germicidal System

Ultraviolet (UV) light lamps are sometimes used in meat chillers. They differ physically from fluorescent lamps in that they do not contain phosphor and are constructed with a special type of glass to permit maximum emission of ultraviolet energy. The lamps in your Steaklocker are of the kind that emit the necessary UV spectrum and should last at least 8000 hours. You can easily lengthen the life of your bulbs by switching the light off when dry aging is complete. When producing charcuterie, ensure your UV light is switched off as it will prevent the useful bacteria growth needed when making salamis and assorted other items.
