Philips Narrowband TL 40W/01 RS UVB Bulb

These lamps emit only a very narrow waveband from the ‘B’ bandwidth of the UV spectrum (290 to 315). This narrow waveband is between 305 and 315 nm and peaks at 311 nm: the most efficacious waveband for the treatment of psoriasis. This means that treatment is much more focused and exposure times are much shorter. This in turn leads to a reduction of side effects such as reddening of the skin and itching. All of this makes them ideal for photo therapy treatment of diseases such as psoriasis and virtiligo. What’s more, because the overall dosage of this narrow band radiation can be closely controlled, these lamps are suitable for home therapy.
