uv light bulb? ????

I was looking at my fish and i saw that there was a ick out break. Since i got my uv sterilizar ick was under control .so i open the sterilizar and i saw that the spring in the middle was still good but there's a middle metal plate that i think it connects both strik and its only connected to one side. Is the bulb still good. .
 
they are good for about 10 months like most no bulbs, if it lights its working, but uv as a control for ich is not realistic, it may kill a few swimmers but ich drops off the fish to the substrate where they usually rest, those ones will never hit the uv, quickest way to start an ich outbreak is a temperature drop
 
I'm sure you already know this, but DO NOT look at the UV light. You'll burn your eyes, and it doesn't take long at all.
