The E-Series
is most often equipped with medically proven
PHILIPS UVB-Narrowband
6-foot long, 100-watt bulbs, part number "TL100W/01-FS72".
UVB-Narrowband has become the undisputed first choice for initial and ongoing
phototherapy treatment for most patients,
and is widely used by dermatologists and phototherapy clinics worldwide.
Indeed, the vast majority of Solarc devices sold use UVB Narrowband,
but other wavebands can be interchangeably fitted should your treatment protocol ever change.
UVB-Narrowband has a very high percentage of its energy around 311 nanometers,
ideally placed in the action spectrum for psoriasis and vitamin D.
It is also of course very effective for vitiligo and atopic dermatitis (eczema).
UVB-Narrowband is also known by its PHILIPS phosphor number
/01
and several other names including: TL/01, TL01, TL-01, UVBNB, NBUVB, NB-311, etc..

All of the pictures on the E-Series webpages were taken with real UVB-Narrowband bulbs.
Even though the vast majority of the light produced is in the invisible UVB spectrum,
there is still a small amount of visible blue light that appears in the photos.

Anodized aluminum relectors reflect about 90% of incident UVB light
and significantly boost the device's total UVB output.
The reflector facets are carefully angled to direct as much light out of the device on to the patient's skin.
These angles were a major consideration in the device design.

This interesting picture shows a tape measure used to locate the camera lense exactly 10 inches from the device.
Ten inches is at the mid-range of the recommended treatment distance of 8 to 12 inches,
so this is the view that your skin sees.
Note how the 1-1/2 inch diameter (T12) bulbs appear to be much wider than they actually are,
verifying proper refector design.
More light means shorter treatment times!
|
The result is a device that looks like it has two very wide bulbs.
Efforts to increase the ultraviolet light power are critical,
especially if only a 2-bulb MASTER device is being used.

Another view on the reflector.
Note how the "PHILIPS" logo is reflected.
The reflectors are mirror-like in appearance.

In case your treatment protocol ever changes, several other 6-foot long
phototherapy bulbs
can also fit into the E-Series,
including the FS72T12-UVB-HO (UVB-Broadband) and F72T12-BL-HO (PUVA 350nm peak).
