The last two years' pandemic has caused a flood of UVC germicidal lamps. Even a renaissance for an odd light bulb, GTL3, I haven't heard about before and apparently was considered obsolete by the industry.

In this video, I take a closer look at the science behind this hybrid of an incandescent and gas-discharge lamp. Lovely little lamp.

Unfortunately, it is sold online in questionable configurations. One is downright hazardous. Not just because of the UVC light. Let me show you why!

Ingenious hybrid lamp sold in a MINDLESS way...

Can a light bulb be both incandescent and gas-discharge? The little, odd GTL3 lamp seems to be a hybrid between the two technologies. In this video, I take a closer look at the science hiding inside it. The lamp is sold in two different versions online. Only one of them can be recommended - I show you why!
