A system and method include an ultraviolet (UV) lamp including one or more UV light emitters coupled to electrodes. The UV light emitters are configured to emit UV light within an environment. A power source is coupled to the UV lamp. The power source is configured to supply power to the UV lamp. A pressure sensor is configured to detect an ambient air pressure within the environment. A temperature sensor is configured to detect an ambient air temperature within the environment. A control unit is configured to analyze air pressure data regarding the ambient air pressure and air temperature data regarding the ambient air temperature in relation to a breakdown voltage for the UV lamp. The control unit is further configured to modify at least one aspect of the UV lamp in response to the ambient air pressure and the ambient air temperature reaching a breakdown threshold that is less than the breakdown voltage.
