Lampe Berger-Does it do what it claims?

[Gavinimurthy]

The Lampe Berger is presently being marketted in India, also.

It claims to kill 70% of bacteria in the air within an hour of lighting it. Is it true?

Are there any reliable studies conducted, as to its effectiveness?

Any more details about what it is, where I can read up on it and so on?

70%???

This is 99.9% effective (http://www.lysol.com/solutionsfinder.shtml)

And it comes in 7 scents. :D

(Edit to add: I like Green Apple scent)


(Edited again to add: http://www.heroesandlegacies.com/lamps/ sounds like WOO tech from the early part of the 1900s.)

(Edited again to add this official history:

I'm not sure I'd want formalin in the air I breathe. Nor do I think killing all the bacteria in a room is necessary or desireable.
