"Ozone lamps" are UV light sources that use quartz sleeves between the environment and the Mercury plasma that produces the light, and does not have the titanium dioxide coating that absorbs short wave UV and makes lots of visible light (the usual fluorescent light bulb does this). Normal glass will absorb too much of the UV. Ozone in the tropopause is produced by 215nm (or more energetic) UV light, and mercury vapor lamps produce some light at a more energetic 185nm wavelength.

Where is good ozone found?

Good ozone can be refered as the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun.
