'TL' 20/40W
|
Low-pressure mercury vapour fluorescent lamps emitting radiation for therapeutic and other applications. The compact, single-ended PL-S 9W/12 2P contain, built into the lamp base, a specially adapted starter, which provides almost instant starting characteristics. The PL-S 9W/12 lamps have the same lamp caps and can operate on the same universal ballasts as PL-S 9W lamps for general lighting. The tubular 'TL' 20W/01, /12 RS and 'TL' 40W/12 RS lamps can be operated in normal switch start as well as pre-heat rapid start systems. |
In medical applications, the /01 and /12 lamps are mainly used for the treatment of psoriasis; /52 lamps are mainly used for the treatment of hyperbilirubinaemia.
Note
UV-B radiation is harmful to human skin and eyes. These lamps are therefore only available for medical and industrial applications.
Applications
- /01, /12 Phototherapy in dermatology (psoriasis, SUP). - /12 Meteorological testing equipment. - /52 Medical treatment of jaundice in new-born babies (hyperbilirubinaemia). |
