4 Watt - T5 - Black light Blue Fluorescent - Miniature Bi Pin base

Illuminate the Invisible with Precision UV Technology

The SATCO 4-Watt T5 Blacklight Blue (BLB) lamp is more than just an atmospheric light; it is a specialized tool designed to reveal what the naked eye cannot see. Engineered with a deep blue filter, this fluorescent tube filters out most visible light while emitting long-wave UVA radiation. This specific wavelength reacts with phosphors, causing them to glow brilliantly in the dark, making it an essential component for both professional inspections and creative displays.

Versatile Applications for Industry and Enthusiasts

This compact T5 bulb features a Miniature Bi-Pin (G5) base, allowing it to fit into slim fixtures where space is a premium. Its utility spans across multiple sectors:

• Security and Authentication: Instantly verify the presence of UV-sensitive threads and watermarks in currency, passports, and credit cards to prevent fraud.
• Industrial Leak Detection: Pair this lamp with UV-reactive dyes to pinpoint cracks and leaks in HVAC systems or automotive engines with absolute accuracy.
• Mineralogy and Scientific Research: Identify specific minerals and biological samples that exhibit natural fluorescence, providing a clear visual contrast for classification.
• Artistic and Special Effects: Transform galleries, theatrical stages, or themed environments by making fluorescent paints and textiles pop with vibrant, neon-like intensity.

Reliable Performance in a Compact Form

Built for efficiency and durability, this 4-watt lamp offers a 5,000-hour rated life, ensuring consistent performance for specialized tasks without frequent replacements. Whether you are conducting forensic analysis or setting the mood for a high-contrast display, the SATCO T5 BLB provides the steady, reliable ultraviolet output required for professional results. Its RoHS-compliant construction and 360-degree beam spread ensure a safe and comprehensive wash of UV light wherever it is needed most.
