What is the maximum flow rate that you can put through this lamp without causing damage?

I have a 350 gph power head running through it. The unit itself is pretty well built.

You won't damage the unit regardless of the flow, however, it may be limited in the amount of flow it can handle without backing up. What will be effected is the efficiency of the unit. The slower the water flows over the ultraviolet bulb, the more effective it is at killing organisms in the water.

I am not sure of the highest flow rate, but the faster the rate less effective the uv light will be. I don't think you will do any damage it just won't work right. The slower the water passes the uv light the better it works.

you can probably have as much flow rate as you want. i just have to get it to connect with them pump

It's a plastic housing around a fluorescent tube. I welded threads on the top so mine flows backwards. I would imagine no damage would be done as long as the unit isn't under pressure. I run mine slowly to insure a complete sterilization. I use the same system on my 30 gallon aquaponic herb garden as I do my 2 300 gallon green house setups.

Hello. If there is some ventilation there should be no problem. But using a complete sealed fixture (like IP65), this could overheat the bulb. Your technolamp Team.

No...it won't overflow if u use only one wax cube. The wax won't burn from the bulb...it eventually after several weeks would just evaporate/dry up I suppose.

There is a low setting which is quite mild - should be ok - maybe the setting that ebbs and flows would work very well - just remember not to leave it on for more than 15 minutes at the most

The max is 100 watt and it uses a 3 way bulb. I am extremely pleased with these lamps.

Let's start out here and say I am not a lighting specialist. But, I have several of these lamps around my home and if it is heat from the lamp that is bothering you this is no problem, as they seem to all run cooler then incandescent lamps. I think you will find the Phillips lamp is much freighter then the one than a 60 watt it will be replacing. I was surprised that amount of light produced fem the bulbs. I am slowly replacing all my flood lamps with these lamps in my home!

On the base of the pump there is a sliding button that I believe adjusts the flow. You can also slide the light to normal on, to a dim one with a blue hue or off.

Hello:It all depends on your lamp shade base. The wattage used for the light bulb should be no more than 40. Any higher wattage used will damage the shade. If you need any further assistance, please contact us at 214-491-6991 Monday - Friday 9am-4pm CST.Thanks,WPIC Store

Im sorry I cannot answer your questioin. I purchased this sink as a basic utility sink so was not concerned with flow rate.

I bought two lamps. One is still working perfectly. The other one was also working just fine until about a month ago and it blew out as well. Still waiting to hear about any resolution to the issue.

I bought a 300wt either and use it since. No problem. As I remember, I did not turn it on full force right away: started with a little by little. I was afraid that it would blow as the whole thing was not designed for that high voltage. But nothing happened so far. I love the lamp. It is really very bright.

We have never had that problem. We use our lamp frequently and have had no problems at all. Absolutely love it!

Can't say for sure but it does flow all that is supplied. It is a nice unit. The Manufacturer should be able to tell you the max flow rate.

Yes, with 2 reductions from 1.5" to 1" at the inlet and outlet . Keep in mind the flow will be drastically reduced. Also the Lamp requires a 5 mikron filter before the lamp inlet. If you need the amount of water from a 1.5" pipe you should install two lamps with a t- connection .

No. And I wouldn't try it, either. Buy yourself a cheap downconverter (Amazon, also?) and just plug the two together, then plug into your outlet. Done. And safe. And the lamp won't overdrive and burn out within minutes. Also, it is a good idea to connect the water inlet and outlet with copper bendable connectors, with a good gradual bend in them so the UV light is "cut off" and can't shine internally within the piping onto anything that is rubber or plastic, or the UV will eat those materials. If you have copper pipe or brass the whole way, no problem. Don't be tempted to use flex SS braided hoses - they have a rubber liner.

I don't remember. I knocked over my lamp soon after I got it and it broke. I replaced it with an LED "corn" light which can take being dropped and is much cooler to operate. The incandescent bulb made the lamp to hot to touch.
