Are air purifier UV bulbs 120 V AC or do they need some kind of power
supply?

Most use a ballast similar to a florescent tube.

I'm not familiar with this one but since its four pin that would be my
guess.

The ones I saw at a the Salvation Army thrift store just had 2 pins
but that doesn't mean they don't need a ballast.

Supposedly malignant melanomas appear under UV light.
