With Karl Platzer & Fred van Lierop
4/20/20 – Lighting Episode 131(Full Version) – Karl Platzer & Fred van Lierop 52:56
We’ve noticed a spike in requests for UV lamps and fixtures recently and aside from reading the side of the box over the phone, we don’t have a clue what to tell anyone. Fortunately, Karl Platzer and Fred van Lierop of UV Lamp Consulting were kind enough to share their considerable expertise on the subject with us all.
The two of them talk through the nuts and bolts of the UV spectrum, it’s applications, and how technology gets tested and certified. Bringing it back to lighting dorks; there’s a lot of pressure right now for quick fixes – but for our current needs; there’s nothing we can be totally certain of, and the claims from certain marketers are about the technology overall instead of their particular product. Let’s not sell anything irresponsibly, and let the experts handle these technologies.
