36W 4Ft T8 Blacklight Blue UV-A fluorescent lamp with a G13 bi-pin base, designed to produce long-wave ultraviolet radiation that excites fluorescent and UV-reactive materials. The 36W BLB is ideal for fluorescence effects, stage and entertainment lighting, inspection, authentication, detection and specialist UV applications.
What it is
The 36W BLB T8 Blacklight Blue Fluorescent Lamp is a specialist low-pressure mercury-vapour fluorescent tube designed to produce long-wave UV-A radiation rather than conventional white illumination.
Used inside an internal fluorescent coating that converts the lamp’s mercury discharge into long-wave ultraviolet radiation capable of exciting fluorescent materials. The lamp provides 9.5W of UV-A radiation after 100 hours, according to the some measurements. The lamp features a standard G13 medium bi-pin base and T8/T26 construction. The tube itself is approximately 1200mm long, with a maximum overall dimension of approximately 1213.6mm, making it the familiar 4Ft-class fluorescent format.
Unlike a UV-C germicidal tube, this Blacklight Blue lamp is designed primarily to excite luminescence. It is therefore suited to UV-reactive displays, entertainment effects, authentication, fluorescence inspection and other specialist blacklight applications rather than sterilisation.

- T8/T26 linear construction
- Standard 4Ft-class format
- Designed to excite fluorescent materials
- Suitable for specialist detection and inspection applications
- Professional Philips specialist lamp technology
Unlike an ordinary T8 lamp, lumens and colour temperature aren’t meaningful primary specifications for this product. Its purpose is the production of long-wave ultraviolet radiation and the resulting fluorescence of UV-reactive materials.
Safety Compliance
- Emits UV-A ultraviolet radiation
- Avoid unnecessary prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation
- Avoid staring directly at an operating blacklight lamp
- Use in equipment appropriate for Blacklight Blue fluorescent lamps
- This is not a UV-C germicidal lamp
- Do not market or use it as a sterilisation/disinfection replacement
- Use only with compatible 36W T8 fluorescent control gear
- Lamp operating voltage is approximately 103V, so the tube itself is not a direct 220–240V mains lamp
- Isolate electrical power before installation or replacement
- Handle the glass tube carefully
- Contains approximately 5mg of mercury
- If broken, it is recommended entilating the room, collecting fragments without using a vacuum cleaner and taking the material to an appropriate recycling facility.
