Re: Blacklight lamps
Thanks again; I will have the BL TL 20W/10 SLV in mind. We still have /05 lamps in stores (few!) here in Istanbul, maybe I should stock something like 20 more. (Lamps are cheap here: a single 40W /05 lamp will cost something like EUR 3...) BTW, the /05 lamps will emit visible light indeed, but I saw the spectral distribution of the lamp (in Philips technical paper), and you can be sure on the fact that more than 80-90% of energy is in the UVA region.
