HVAC UV Sanitizer Light Quick Change Base

thingiverse

I have UV sanitizing lights on my HVAC forced air systems. They work great, but they really go through bulbs like crazy. The problem is that the UV light assembly is screwed into the ductwork that has insulation over it. Flimsy ductwork doesn't want to have a screw go in and out of it a couple times a year, and the fiberglass insulation doesn't love being disturbed all the time either. What was once a nice install, looks kind of ratty - and those screws just need to keep getting upsized. I designed a plate that can be firmly affixed to the duct, and then put posts on the plate that allow the bulb assembly to slide right down. A couple of hose clamps to hold it on, and I now have the ability to change bulbs without any tools, and without disturbing insulation or sheet metal holes.
