The guy commented that it erased 99.9% in 12 minutes, which is not bad. I used to allow at least 20 minutes with one of the mains-powered 20W clear-glass flouros.

The other steriliser probably uses one of these lamp/drivers...

Sorry, I did have the correct URL, but I cut and pasted the wrong one.

Thanks.
