Invisible Ultra-Violet rays from the sun and artificial sources
such as fluorescent lamps
cause immense damage to displays, paintings, books, watercolors,
and fabrics. Fluorescent lamps transmit almost the same wavelength
of UV and visible light as the sun. Although fluorescent UV
is not as strong as UV sunlight, the UV radiation from fluorescent
lighting, and the sun will gradually induce fading, deterioration
of organic materials and damage to the colors and fibers.
The ANSWER - clear Ultra-Violet absorbing filters for application
on fluorescent lights, windows, and recessed ceiling lighting
troffers.

Ultraviolet light can also cause
a number of health problems. UV radiation is linked to a
number of skin, eye, and psychological problems.
Reusable polycarbonate fluorescent bulb sleeve with safety
end caps covers the lamp to control UV emission without
reducing or changing visible light.
UV radiation from fluorescent lighting
can "bleach out" colors and destroy valuable tapestries
and manuscripts. An important added advantage, the sleeves
and end caps are designed to retain the shattered glass
and phosphors if the tube breaks. Priced and sold per sleeve;
sleeves shipped in cartons of 24. Can be sold in smaller
quantities for a $10 broken case fee.
