The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to identify manufacturers and distributors of ultraviolet (UV) bulbs in the United States. DSIAC searched open-source documents to identify companies that manufacture and/or distribute a variety of UV bulbs. The generated list is not exhaustive but provides a variety of distributors and manufacturers specializing in various UV bulbs. Some of the bulbs included are UV-C bulbs, which are particularly useful in disinfection.
