Notes:
|
The bulbs listed above may be known by different part numbers.
For example, sometimes suffixes "RDC" or "BP" are added to indicate the ENDTYPE.
Please call Solarc Systems for assistance if required.
Volume discounts are available to hospitals, phototherapy clinics, and dermatology offices.
Please call for a quote.
A physician's prescription is required for all home phototherapy sales to USA addresses,
per US Federal law.
See:
Prescriptions
Prices shown are in US Dollars, FOB Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Solarc routinely ships replacement bulbs to the USA.
Prices listed include any customs/duty/brokerage fees and heavy duty packaging;
freight is extra.
To minimize freight & packaging costs,
consider ordering Philips 6-foot bulbs in multiples/combinations of 12 or 30,
and other 6-foot bulbs in multiples/combinations of 12 or 24.
Extra packaging charges may apply for low total value shipments.
"ENDTYPE" is per the pictures shown at the bottom of this webpage.
"WATTS" is the nominal electrical input power per bulb and dependent on ballast used.
"DIA" is the NOMINAL glass tube outer diameter, where:
T12 = 1 1/2 inches (38mm), T8 = 1 inches (26mm), T5 = 5/8 inches (16mm), T4 = 1/2 inches (12mm).
"L" is the bulb's TOTAL length in inches (+/- 1/8") and INCLUDES THE ENDCAPS OR PINS.
L is most easily measured with the bulb vertical up with one end on the floor or a table,
and using a tape measure.
For most Philips bulbs, the "phosphor" colour is embedded in the part number, with definitions:
/01 for Narrowband UVB 311nm, /12 for Broadband UVB, /09 for UVA (PUVA), and /10 for UVA-1.
When "HO" is included in a part number, it means "High Output".
(Not applicable to Philips bulbs and all compact fluorescent bulbs.)
When "BL" is included in a part number, it typically means "Black Light",
which is another term for UVA.
Philips bulbs are made in Holland or Poland. Most other bulbs are made in USA.
Solarc generally uses the term "bulb" to mean a single replaceable light source component or "replacement lamp".
We reserve use of the term "lamp" to mean a complete device,
with some exceptions for customer recognition purposes.
See links above for relative spectral distribution samples.

ENDTYPES for Medical Ultraviolet Phototherapy Fluorescent Bulbs:
"T12" single 1-1/2 inch diameter glass tube (3 types) :
|
ENDTYPE = RDC
"Recessed Double Contact" (R17d)
RDC ends have a plastic adapter covering two metallic contacts.
This design is used to prevent medical UVB bulbs from being used in tanning equipment,
which are usually bi-pin.
Philips TL100W/01-FS72
UVB-Narrowband shown.
Note: "FSX" bulbs, such as FSX72T12/UVB/HO, use this endtype but,
instead of each end having the same alignment relative to each other,
one end is rotated ninety (90) degrees (axially) to the other,
so they make an "X" when viewed in from the end.
The FSX bulb design further limits the number of devices that can operate the bulb.
The FSX bulb was/is used extensively by National Biological Corp.,
on their line of UVB-Broadband equipment.
Philips does not make any UVB-Narrowband "FSX" type lamps.
|
ENDTYPE = SLIMLINE
"Slimline"
Slimline ends have one single large 5/16" (8mm) diameter pin, about 5/16" (8mm) long.
In UVB medical phototherapy applications,
they were only used on 6-foot long FS72T12/UVB/SL (SL=SlimLine) bulbs.
Their nominal bulb power is 56 watts.
Slimline bulbs are being phased out in favour of 85 and 100 watt bulbs using the RDC endtype.
Solarc Private Label FS72T12/UVB/SL
UVB-Broadband shown; made in USA.
|
ENDTYPE = BI-PIN
"Medium Bi-Pin"
Bi-pin ends have two metallic pins each about 1/4" (6-7mm) long, distanced 1/2" (12-13mm) apart,
center to center. This is the same pin arrangement as found on many standard fluorescent tubes.
The bi-pin arrangement is being phased out to prevent use of medical UVB bulbs in standard fixtures.
