Do you clean the lens whenever the alarm goes off? Ours needs cleaning every few months, and will alarm until it is cleaned.

My DW worked at a county health department doing restaurant inspections, and their requirement for commercial systems was for logging bulb replacements every year. This is the same schedule that we've been using for over a decade, and our replacement date is 4/15 so its hard to forget.

There are now UV LED bulbs on the market now with longer service lives, if you want to run a TCO calculation on upgrading.....
