MORE INFORMATION:
- Initially, fluorescent lamps repurpose approximately 60% of the consumed electricity into UV radiation.
- Subsequently, these lamps only convert about 20% of the resultant UV radiation into visible light.
- Consequently, the surplus 80% of UV radiation either radiates as UVA and UVB or morphs into heat energy.
- Fluorescent lighting emits UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (280-320 nm) forms of UV radiation.
- Essentially, UV light bulb Filtering Tube guards absorb harmful UV rays up to 380nm, reducing UV exposure.
- Remarkably, UV Amber guards block 99% of UV rays below 540 nanometers.
- Importantly, UV radiation degrades textiles, colors, art, and other sensitive display items.
- These UV tube guards are used in various fields where UV degradation prevention is critical.
- The “Dark Amber/Yellow” filtering tube is a blend of materials with a .040″ thickness.
- Impressively, the tube blocks all UV rays and shows 0% transmittance below 525 nanometers.
- Specifically, it is used in photo labs, clean rooms, and circuit board manufacturing areas.
- The outer diameter of the tube is approximately 1.235″.
- All tubes come with 2 polypropylene end caps for safety.
- Note, the 0.040″ polycarbonate UV amber tube isn’t suitable for high-output lamps.
- Furthermore, we provide all types of tube guards like T12 , T5 , and T8 in (F15, F17, F25, F64, F72, F96)
- Lastly, UVA guard sleeves come in various colors including amber, blue, green, pink, etc.
