FLUORESCENT BULB JACKETS Control Ultraviolet Radiation
Fluorescent bulbs emit ultraviolet light. Inside buildings this concentrated radiation causes fading, materials to turn brittle, harsh glare, headaches and tired eyes. It can also aggravate the symptoms of photosensitive people. Bulb Jackets are clear, mylar sleeves that fit over straight standard sized 48 inch T-8 or T-12 Fluorescent bulbs. The T-8's have a 3" circumference and T-12's have a 4" circumference. They control ultraviolet radiation without reducing visible light. They diffuse the harsh glare providing less strained vision and a more comfortable lighting environment. There is no distortion of light. The tough mylar film protecting the bulb adds a safety factor as well. Museums use them to protect their priceless displays from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. The jackets can be cut easily with scissors to fit smaller sizes or be combined to fit larger ones. They are reusable and outlast many bulb changes.
Fluorescent Bulb Jackets stop 99.97% of ultraviolet light. This has been calculated for the passage of solar ultraviolet radiation from 300-380 nanometers.
