to use one or two tubes at a time. Model UVSL-26P has one shortwave

Recharging the Lamp
A standard wall outlet can recharge the 26P lamp’s internal gel-based
lead-acid battery. You may receive your lamp partially charged;
however, we recommend you charge the unit from a wall outlet for 24
hours to obtain maximum field usage. When the lamp is plugged into
the wall, the red indicator light glows indicating the lamp is continuously
charging. This light will go out when the lamp is unplugged. The lamp
does not operate while plugged in. If the lamp is turned on while
plugged into the wall outlet, the green light will glow but the tubes will
not light until the lamp is unplugged. The UV intensity will be fairly
steady for about five continuous hours whether you use one or two
tubes. Power will reduce swiftly once the charge has been expended.
To recharge lamp, plug the lamp into a wall outlet.
The adapter plug is for use in operating the lamp, not for recharging the
lamp.
WARNING: Caution should be used when working with 254nm
shortwave UV (UVSL-26P and UVS-26P models). Protective
eyewear and clothing should be used. Unprotected exposure to
shortwave UV can cause a delayed reaction of sunburn to eyes
and skin. (See "replacement parts" for suggested protective
products.)
