Blb Lamps Bulbs

The UV output is almost monochromatic centred around the 365.5nm line.

Blacklight lamps have a very broad range of applications nearly all of which involve its employment to stimulate fluorescence. Some of these include mineralogy the detection of forged documents and bank notes identification of materials which have been marked with UV-fluorescing ink observation of UV markings on stamps and posted letters the detection of invisible stains on fabrics entertainment lighting to make clothes fluoresce and a host of other applications that is far too long to reproduce here.
This lamp is the type known as the Blacklight Mercury having an outer bulb fabricated from what is known as Woods Glass. It is a soft glass type heavily doped with nickel oxide which renders it almost completely opaque to wavelengths of light at the centre of the visible spectrum but it has a high transmission of ultra-violet and infra-red rays.
