OSRAM DULUX® BLUE UVA | 9W / 78 | G23 2-Pin Ozone-Free Compact Fluorescent Lamp

The Osram Dulux Blue UVA 9W (Color 78) is a specialized compact fluorescent lamp engineered for the precise curing and tempering of UV-sensitive materials. Emitting an effective long-wave UVA radiation in the 315–400 nm range (1.2W UV output), this lamp is a critical component for professional applications in dentistry, electronics, and cosmetics. Its Ozone-Free design ensures an environmentally safe operation, while the compact G23 2-pin base allows for easy integration into both stationary equipment and hand-held devices. Whether used for sealing dental prosthetics, curing nail treatments, or scientific fluorescence excitation, this lamp provides the reliable, concentrated UV energy required for high-performance results.

Versatile Technical UV Solutions

The Osram #198938 is recognized for its versatility across technical and scientific fields. In the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs), it provides the necessary exposure for photo-resist layers. In security and forensics, it acts as a fluorescence exciter for the recognition of forged banknotes and credit cards (often combined with black glass filters). Its compact T4 bulb shape and 144mm length make it the standard for portable insect traps and terrarium lighting, offering a balanced long-wave UV spectrum that is both effective and environmentally responsible.

• Plastic & Dental Curing: Rapid surface sealing for plastics and dental prosthetics.
• Cosmetic Treatment: Professional-grade UV source for fingernail gel treatments.
• Scientific Research: Ideal for fluorescence excitation in laboratory investigations.
• Security: Essential for counterfeit detection of currency and documents.
