The new unit has been working for about 1 month continually without any issues

But the light appears to be nobrighter than the replaced bulb and actually less bright than what i remember for the original bulb that came with the uv unit

Is a great replacement worked as soon as i put it on although i do ask that in shipping it could be better packaged bulb was not damaged but we all know how our shipping handlers like to toss small packages around thanks worked perfectly
