Replacement Cell for Filterless UV Air Purifier

The bulb did not last as long as advertised, and this product is too expensive to keep purchasing replacements I remain disappointed with this, have found no resolve and looking for an alternative.

This replacement cell looked like it had been through the ringer when I opened it. Scratched up and full of little paint and metal shavings. I think it missed the Quality Control step in manufacturing. It also doesn't sit the same way that the original cell sat in the unit because the plugs on the bottom of the cell are not in line with the piece it needed to be inserted into. I was able to clean it up and installed it unaligned because I really needed to get the unit running again for allergy season. So far it seems to work just fine but I wouldn't order it through this site again.
