The T5 4W BLB UV Ultraviolet Blacklight Bulb is a specialist replacement lamp designed specifically for use with UV money and banknote counterfeit detectors. Producing ultraviolet light at a peak wavelength, this purple BLB tube helps reveal security features on banknotes and other items that are difficult to see under normal lighting.
The bulb is manufactured with a special glass layer designed to maximise UV output, providing enhanced ultraviolet performance for reliable counterfeit detection. The product page states that it offers better counterfeit detection compared with similar bulbs, making it a practical replacement for UV note-checking equipment.
The T5 4W BLB uses toughened glass to help protect against shattering, while its instant-start design means there is no need for the lamp to warm up before use. This allows for quick results when checking banknotes, currencies and other items requiring UV verification.
The bulb is supplied in selectable 2, 3, 4 or 5 pack options, making it suitable whether you need a single replacement set or multiple replacement lamps for commercial environments. It operates at 240V 50Hz AC and uses a T5 base.
This specialist UV lamp is suitable for money checking machines, banknote detectors and counterfeit currency checking equipment designed to use T5 BLB tubes. Please note: this is a specialist ultraviolet blacklight bulb and should only be used in compatible equipment.
