Philips 323253 TL 120W UV-A – 120W – T12 – G13 Base – 78.75″ – UVA Unfiltered Blacklight – 25ct

Nowadays, the preferred radiotherapy treatment of skin diseases like psoriasis is through the use of the UVB bandwidth of the ultraviolet spectrum (290 to 315 nm), since this requires no photo-sensitizing agent. But some patients do not respond to UVB treatment, hence a UV lamp with a UVA bandwidth of the ultraviolet spectrum is used, and here Philips offers a choice of either TL or PLS/PLL lamps. Both are ideal for when the UVB is unsuitable. These (PUVA) lamps have a wavelength of between 315 to 380 nm and are not only used for the treatment of psoriasis but are also commonly used for more than 20 other diseases.
