We offer a range of UV Lamps and each has its own benefits.
Battery operated types come in either long wave or short wave types and have the advantage of being portable; they can be taken to Fairs, Shows and exhibitions etc..
Short wave lamps are necessary for the detection of phosphor bands mainly of earlier stamps and also for flourescence of modern papers
Long wave are used mainly for fluorescence as well as phosphorescence on recent issues.
