Only lasted a few months.

The lamp that came with the air purifier has lasted over 3 years after running the air purifier in my basement 24/7. This replacement bulb initially fitted and worked well but blew out after only six months. It may have been burning for a while and I only noticed it now.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to say

I have 2 models 5250 and one model 5000. .

I have 2 5250 models and a 5000 model. I've changed the bulbs on all of them and tried resetting the filters but I still have a beeping sound on the 5250 models. You can't see the pear none of the 3 blocks. Very frustrating. If I buy a new bulb and filter and roll the dice on whether they work, I'm only a few dollars away from buying a brand new appliance. At least I know the new one works properly.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Good but not great

Easy to replace Suitable for spare parts and accessories

Remove the back cover and filter and you will see a metal shade covering the lamp. The bulb is opened by 4 Phillips screws. Rotate the bulb 90 degrees to remove. Insert the new lightbulb, making sure that the top and bottom are correctly aligned, and then rotate it 90 degrees to complete the lightbulb installation. Replace the metal screen with 4 screws and reinstall the filter and back cover. Reset the UV notification indicator by pressing and holding the button for about 3 seconds. Time toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor problems

Works great, easy to replace

I have bought two of these to replace the UV lamp in my GermGuardian AC5000 air purifier and have not been disappointed. They've lasted quite a while with no issues, and in fact my air purifier has tipped over several times to damage one (it was still working at this point after 9+ months of use). Replacing is very easy as shown in the photos attached to this review. They're pretty good overall and I believe they work as I can see a faint blue light through the front grille (although I'm not aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Many items

Lightbulbs burn out too quickly

In December we bought two replacement bulbs for our two cleaners. The original bulbs lasted a year with 24 hour UV light. I noticed that one of the new bulbs burned out in February. I'm not sure how long this took, but the 30 day return period has already expired. I was annoyed that I wasted my money and put off ordering another bulb. I literally just noticed that the lightbulb has now burned out in the unit in our bedroom as well. It's been a little over 5 months. I'm not sure how long it'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Quality

Works well and guaranteed.

Arrived in good condition, works great. Perfect fit for my AC5250PT. Two tips and one hint: Tip 1) You change the lightbulb by holding it by the edges without jerking and turning it and as soon as you see the contacts you can pull it out. When removing and reinserting the bulb, you will likely encounter some resistance as the bulb is held in place by the spring tabs. Just thread them through and the bulb won't break. *Tip 2) At least on my AC5250PT air purifier model, you will see a slight glow

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Exchange possible

Simple job well worth the effort

This was the first bulb change in my Germ Guardian AC5000 air filter. I've had the device for 15 months and it works almost constantly, but not always with the UV light on. The filter provided what I needed most - cleaning the air of dust and allergens. Using UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, germs and mold spores was just as important, but as others have said if the device is running in your bedroom the blue light will be bright and distracting. In the end I put the device in my living roomโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
