[OM] UV light to prohibit/kill fungus within lenses

Greetings,

I'm in the process of constructing a light proof enclosure to house a UV lamp to keep lenses free from fungal growth, I contacted a University Prof on the subject for some advice on the correct type of UV lamp to use, here is his reply "/You need to use a germicidal lamp that emits UVC radiation at 254 nm wavelength, exposure of few hours each month should be enough to inactivate microorganisms/" he also advised not to look at the light as it can cause damage to eyes .

Hope this helps

Paul
