Questions about this item

Will the 7.2 W fluorescent lamp run on my existing T5 electronic ballast?

The lamp is a standard T5 fluorescent type rated at 7.2 W, so it will operate on any compatible T5 electronic ballast that supplies the correct starting voltage and current for a 7.2 W tube.

How can I confirm the UV blacklight output is still strong after installation?

After 3000 rated hours the UV intensity will gradually decline; a visible blue glow and strong fluorescence from white paper or a UV test card under the lamp indicate it is still producing useful blacklight output.
