The Philips TL Mini G5 blacklight fluorescent tube, 212 mm, 6 W, emits filtered UV-A light (blue-violet Wood's glass) that makes fluorescent materials glow in the dark — it is not meant for general lighting.
A classic fluorescent tube (not LED), to be fitted on a luminaire with a G5-compatible ballast/starter, in the same format as a standard tube. Rated lifetime of 9000 hours of use.
This short format complements the classic T5/T8 blacklight tubes already available at StrassElec: ideal when the fitting (display case, portable detector) is too small for a standard-length tube.

Is this an LED tube?
No, it's a classic discharge fluorescent tube, like a traditional neon-style tube, coated to filter out visible light and let only UV-A through.
Can it be used to light a room?
No, that's not its purpose: the visible light it gives off is very faint (dark violet); it's meant to reveal fluorescent materials, not to illuminate.
Is it compatible with my existing fitting?
It fits a luminaire with a G5 base and a compatible ballast or starter, just like a classic fluorescent tube — check your fitting's type before ordering.
