20W T8 Blacklight White UV-A fluorescent lamp with a G13 bi-pin base, designed to produce long-wave ultraviolet radiation that causes fluorescent and UV-reactive materials to glow. Ideal for blacklight effects, entertainment lighting, UV inspection, authentication, security marking detection and specialist fluorescence applications.
What it is
The T8 20W G13 Blacklight White Fluorescent Lamp is a specialist UV-A fluorescent tube designed to produce ultraviolet radiation rather than conventional white illumination.
Blacklight Blue lamps use specialised fluorescent technology and dark filtering glass to emphasise long-wave UV-A radiation while reducing much of the visible light emitted by the lamp. The resulting ultraviolet output causes compatible fluorescent pigments, dyes, security markings and other UV-reactive materials to visibly fluoresce.
The lamp uses a G13 bi-pin base and standard T8 linear construction of approximately 26mm diameter. The 20W format is commonly associated with compact specialist blacklight fittings and equipment.

Unlike an ordinary fluorescent tube, lumens and colour temperature are not useful primary specifications for this lamp. Its purpose is to generate UV-A radiation that causes compatible materials to fluoresce.
Safety Compliance
- Emits UV-A ultraviolet radiation
- Avoid unnecessary prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation
- Avoid staring directly at an operating blacklight lamp
- Use only in compatible Blacklight Blue fluorescent equipment
- Not intended as conventional room illumination
- Not a UV-C germicidal lamp
- Do not use or market as a sterilisation/disinfection lamp
- Use only with compatible 15W fluorescent control gear
- Do not connect directly to mains unless specifically designed for that operating configuration
- Isolate electrical power before installation or replacement
- Handle the glass tube carefully
- Fluorescent lamps contain a small quantity of mercury and should be appropriately recycled
- Confirm the physical dimensions and electrical requirements of the existing lamp before replacement
