A Far UV C excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb, and a curved filter external to and separated from the excimer bulb. The curved filter being hafnium based and including an arc. The excimer bulb emits radiation in a plurality of wavelengths substantially comprising Far UV C. The curved filter having a cut-off wavelength of 234 nm and adapted to block substantially all wavelengths of UV C radiation longer than 234 nm. The excimer bulb is positioned at least partially and centered within the arc so that the majority of the Far UV C wavelengths of radiation pass perpendicularly through the curved filter. The assembly may further include a mirror which may also be curved, and plated onto the exterior surface of the excimer bulb.

An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb and a pass filter such that the excimer bulb assembly does not emit substantial UV radiation in wavelengths longer than 231 nm, 232 nm, 233 nm, 234 nm or 235 nm. The wavelengths are measured at an incident angle of zero (0) degrees to the filter plane. The pass filter is preferably constructed of a plurality of layers of hafnium oxide, and most preferably constructed of less than seventy five (75) layers of hafnium oxide. The excimer bulb, pass filter, and two electrical connectors may be adapted to form a cartridge which may be adapted to swivel along its main axis. The cartridge may further include a smart chip. The smart chip may retain and store information regarding the assembly and preferably retains hours of use of the excimer bulb.
