Re: Blacklight lamps

Hi Loris,

I don't know a reason  for using BLB lamps but it was a message for 
people who use them..
It is a pity  but Philips don't produce super actinic /05 lamps since 
more than a year.
Philips TL-D BLB 18 W has a peak at 355 nm.in a range from 340 -380 nm.
Philips super actinic /05 has a peak at 365 nm. in a range from 310 - 
480 nm.So nearly half of its power is in the visible light range.
But Philips gives you (and others) a replacement (Kees Brandenburg gave 
me that tip) :
The actinic BL TL 20W/10 SLV lamp has a peak at 370 nm. in a range from 
350 -400 nm.
You can also use the Philips CLEO performance (used in a solarium) 40W. 
peak at 350 nm.in a range from 310 - 410 nm.
Hope it will help you to make the right  decision in the future.
Kind regards,

Erich
