What’s the frequency Kenneth?(/s)
Low band or high band UV? Which is most effective at killing viruses? I wonder...
Good info at link.

I think it’s UV-C.
There are three bands, A, B & C.
The band of interest is C.
just checked the package - it is UV-C
“UV-C Radiation is Germicidal
What is unique about UV-C radiation is that it is especially effective at disinfection. In particular, the wavelength of 264 nm is incredibly impressive at killing germs, viruses and bacteria. Fortunately, UV-C radiation can pass through air without creating ozone, so UV-C lamps can be used in air to disinfect surfaces. Some people may be concerned that using a UV-C LED lamp will create ozone (a health and environmental hazard). However, only the vacuum-LED wavelengths can create ozone (<200 nm). UV-A, UV-B and UV-C wavelengths do not transform oxygen (in air) into ozone.”
