Abstract

The present invention discloses an ultra-violet device for use with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. The device includes an ultra-violet lamp mounted to a base having a switch for operating the lamp. The ultra-violet lamp and base couple to a mounting plate having a spring-loaded lever for engaging the switch of the base. The spring-loaded lever only engages the switch when the mounting plate, ultra-violet lamp, and base are properly configured. Thus, the ultra-violet device only operates when the device is properly configured.
