UV Disinfection system question

A lamp is a device that requires a light bulb, a light bulb is the part that makes the light.

Actually lamp seems to be an accepted term for light bulb, it seems to be used in technical stuff while luminaire (from French word Lumiere) is used for a fixture/lamp.

yes, what most people call a fixture is actually a "luminaire". likewise, a light bulb is actually a "lamp"

Got a new bulb today and replaced the old one. everything seems to be back to normal now.

Good to hear. Now you know the drill.

More importantly, did you end up looking at the sun?

no, pretty sure the blue glow on the tube attached is how you tell if the lamp is lit.
