UVP 'Blak-Ray' B 100 AP Portable UV Lamp

Here is a Blak-Ray portable UV lamp. Uses for these lamps include non-destructive testing and fluorescence inspection. It is shown here with the 50ft power cable that it came with, but I cannot find any reference to cables longer than 20ft from the manufacturers, so someone must have fitted the longer one themselves for some reason; I have now shortened it to a more reasonable 25ft..! The ballast in the base is well potted in a tar-like material, so replacing it may be tricky should it ever fail..! This lamp uses the now rare admedium E29 cap, although later versions switched to the standard US size of E26 (medium).

We got it for a very good price as well, the seller had sold it as 'not working', and the main reason we bought it was to get the ad-medium socket. When we got the lantern it was rattling, and 'not working', but when Ria took the Woods glass filter off the front, she found out why it was rattling... The lamp wasn't screwed home, and once it was the lantern worked.! Very Happy

Yep, we picked up five of the B22d-3 lamp holders from a seller who didn't know what they had for half of the price we'd seen one sell for.! Mind Blown
