UVC module for home water purifier has non-standard tube

At first I thought this unit used an ordinary 6W T5 UVC germicidal tube. But it appears to be different from normal tubes, which probably prevents refitting with a commonly available one. That's a shame as I saw these modules being sold for around £55 compared to the equivalent standard germicidal 6W T5 lamp being between £5 and £10.

Interesting construction though, and a neat way of making it easy for users to replace the germicidal tube in seconds without technical knowledge.

When handling UVC tubes, it's important to clean them afterwards with a suitable cleaning alcohol, as the natural skin oils may affect the output of UVC energy in that area.
