BL BLACKLIGHT BLUE LAMPS are made like BL that the lamp bulb is made of a special dark blue filter glass that absorbs practically all of the
lamps, except visible light, yet transmits freely the ultraviolet radiation.

This bulb makes

it unnecessary to use external filters. The filter bulb sfructure is more expensive but the fixture requirements are simplified, since the lamp is a completely
self-contained Blacklight unii.

Both types of blacklight lamps are fluorescent lamps and therefore operate in the same circuits and with the same equipment as equivalent wattage sizes of fluorescent
