FLUORESCENT TUBE T8 18W ACTINIC SPL

The T8 18W actinic SPL fluorescent lamp is a light source specializing in UV-A technology, designed for biological control of flying insects. It emits ultraviolet radiation at specific wavelengths (350–370 nm) that are particularly attractive to flies, mosquitoes, and other insects.

Light Traps for Insect Control in Commercial Settings

This actinic tube is the ideal solution for pest control systems in restaurants, cafeterias, food processing facilities, and warehouses. The UV-A radiation effectively attracts insects to the trap, naturally reducing infestations without the use of chemical insecticides. Can be installed in dedicated ceiling fixtures with a standard G13 base.

UV Lighting for Industrial and Healthcare Environments

Used in quality control rooms, diagnostic laboratories, and sterile environments, the actinic fluorescent lamp supports visual inspection and biological monitoring procedures. Its UV-A emission allows for the detection of contamination and organic traces invisible to natural light.

Applications in Animal Husbandry and Agriculture

In animal shelters, livestock farms, and greenhouses, the T8 actinic tube controls populations of disease-carrying insects. Dimmability allows the light intensity to be adjusted according to seasonal needs and the biological cycle of the target insects.

Design Features and Reliability

Available in the T8 format with a compact diameter (26 mm) and standard length (600 mm), this fluorescent light source guarantees an extended average lifespan, reducing maintenance costs. The G13 base ensures compatibility with most existing technical lighting systems.
