Specialized T5 Linear Blacklight Tubes for Professional UV Applications

When your environment requires precise ultraviolet output in a compact form factor, our T5 linear blacklight collection delivers the performance necessary for both technical and creative industries. These miniature bi-pin lamps are the standard for specialized lighting fixtures, offering a slim profile that fits into tight spaces without sacrificing UV intensity. Whether you are maintaining commercial equipment or designing an immersive atmosphere, these tubes provide the targeted wavelength necessary to make reactive materials pop or facilitate essential chemical processes.

This collection features a versatile range of wattages, including 4-watt, 6-watt, and 8-watt options, ensuring compatibility with your specific ballast and fixture requirements. We provide both standard Blacklight (BL) and Blacklight Blue (BLB) variants to suit different functional needs. While the standard BL tubes are highly effective for applications like insect attraction in bug zappers or polymer curing, the BLB models feature an integral dark blue filter that blocks most visible light. This makes the BLB models the premier choice for high-contrast "glow" effects in theatrical productions, escape rooms, and mineral displays.

These fluorescent replacements are engineered for consistent UV-A output, ensuring reliable performance throughout their lifespan. From verifying the authenticity of currency and legal documents to detecting leaks in industrial systems using fluorescent dyes, these T5 tubes serve as essential tools for precision tasks. Their low heat output and high-efficiency design make them a dependable choice for continuous use in professional settings.

  • Industrial Curing: Ideal for drying UV-sensitive adhesives, inks, and specialized resins in manufacturing.
  • Security and Authentication: Essential for verifying watermarks, ID cards, and forensic evidence at checkpoints.
  • Pest Control: Emits the specific UV wavelengths required to attract insects in commercial and residential zappers.
  • Theatrical Effects: Maximizes the visibility of neon paints and reactive textiles in haunted houses, stages, and bowling alleys.
  • Specialized Inspection: Used for non-destructive testing, leak detection in HVAC systems, and identifying fluorescent minerals.
