Lamps for non-refrigerated areas combine the heat resistant properties of PFA with the strength of our highly specialized coatingWithstands the extreme temperatures emitted by a VHO fluorescent lampMeets the Toxic characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) standards established by the US EPAThese lamps destroy microbes such as bacteria, viruses, molds and spores with high output ultraviolet (UV-C) radiationUV blocking plastic coating is applied directly onto the lampCoating reduces light output by less than 1% and is a minimum of 16 mils thickZero gap technology creates a skin tight seal, eliminating any air gaps in which heat from the lamp will become trapped and gradually degrade the coating, leaving the lamp unprotected and your business exposed to the risk of glass breakageIncludes a patented UV blocking package that blocks 97% of UV emissions from 180 to 390 nanometers and is guaranteed not to yellow, crack or flake for the rated life of the lampSafety coating on T5 lamps does not block ultraviolet (UV) light
