The tube guards for fluorescent lights most common sizes are T12, T8 and T5* in standard 4’ and 8’ lengths.
MORE INFO:
- 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.
- UV Filtering Tubeguards absorb harmful UV rays up to 380nm, reducing UVA and UVB exposure.
- The absorption rate falls from 99-81% at 380-390nm, and drops to 80-50% at 390-400nm.
- In light of this, the overall exposure to UV radiation from fluorescent lighting sharply diminishes, practically rendering it non-existent.
- Importantly, Clear UV blocking tube guards show efficiency by blocking up to 95% of UV rays at the 395 nanometer wavelength, thus virtually eradicating all UV radiation.
- Regrettably, UV radiation triggers photochemical degradation in susceptible materials such as textiles, colors, historical documents, and works of art.
- Fortuitously, UV tube guards stand as effective preservers of these items under fluorescent lighting, marking them as suitable for usage in museums, art galleries, and libraries.
- Interestingly, tube guards for 390-400 nm UVA rays are available for delivery within 2-3 days.
- Furthermore, we provide specific types of tube guards like T5, T8, and T12.
- Lastly, UVA guard sleeves come in various colors including amber, blue, green, pink, etc.
