Lámparas del tipo GPX o PLS
Explanation:
Silvina: hace 25 años trabajé en General Electric y recuerdo que muchos tipos de lámparas eran llamados por sus siglas originales. No descarto para nada que estos tipos tengan traducción, pero si no la encuentras, probablemente te alcance con las siglas originales. Si nadie te puede ayudar, te queda consultar con el fabricante, que puede ser GE, Osram, Philips...

GPX / PLS


Explanation:
It does look like these refer to specific model numbers. Look at the following references that fit your context:

GERMICIDAL LAMPS UVC
NANOMETERS: 253,7
nmMATERIAL: special soft glass
MAIN USE: air and water purification; sterilization of medical instruments, food packages, etc...

http://www.fluorimport.com/en/uvc_t.htm

... and three model numbers start with GPX: GPX7, GPX9 and GPX11 (if you go to the page, you can get full specs. on each type).


The PLS lamp apparently refers to a product manufactured by Phillips.
