DESCRIPTION:

Remember the "U/V" sign when selecting your U/V lamp.

Ultraviolet (U/V) tracers are specifically formulated to fluoresce in the presence of U/V light rays. From this

are the common trade names for the two main products that use this technology: "U/V" and "U/V" lamps.

Referring to the table above, you can see that true "U/V" is invisible to the human eye, while the colors of visible light

that come next are purple and blue respectively. The overall U/V light intensity decreases as you move

from invisible U/V light to purple, then blue and so on along the table. Care must be taken not to confuse a lamp that emits

high intensity visible blue light, and consider it better with a brighter lamp, effectively tuned to emit true U/V light.

This is why BLUE is NOT necessarily okay

A properly tuned ultraviolet (U/V) lamp should emit mainly invisible U/V light waves, with only a small

visible "purple" or "blue" light trail. The small amount of visible light is necessary to direct the user's gaze towards

the leak search area, while the invisible U/V light beams concretely illuminate the tracer leak. Lamps that

emit large amounts of visible blue light have been widely marketed as more effective and powerful products for

making leaks fluorescent, based on an obviously higher perception of visible light. Be aware that U/V tracers

require real invisible U/V light rays to actually fluoresce immediately contradicts this belief.

In fact, special "anti-blue" glasses must be used with these high blue output lamps to eliminate the tonal noise

of blue light from the user's vision during the leak detection process. Otherwise, the high luminous flux will cover the loss

or the tracer that fluoresces.
