UV-B Fluorescent Tube for Specialist Use

The Ushio G15T8E is a 14.7 watt fluorescent tube emitting UV-B light at 306 nanometres. It operates at 55 volts with a G13 two-pin base and measures 17.16 inches in overall length. This lamp is suited for applications requiring midrange UV-B output such as phototherapy devices or laboratory equipment.

Sustained Output Over Rated Lifetime

The tube maintains its UV-B emission across a rated life of 4000 hours under continuous operation. Output stability relies on consistent 55 volt supply and adequate fixture ventilation to manage heat buildup. It is not intended for general illumination or short-duration decorative use where frequent switching reduces effective lifespan.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 14.7 W UV-B tube generate during all-day operation?

The lamp draws 14.7 watts at 55 volts, so continuous use produces modest heat typical of a 15 W fluorescent tube; ensure the fixture is rated for the wattage and allows free airflow around the 17.16-inch glass envelope.

What ballast and fixture does the G13 2-pin base require to start the 306 nm lamp?

A compatible G13 bi-pin fluorescent ballast supplying 55 V is needed; the tube fits standard 17.16-inch T8 fixtures wired for pre-heat or rapid-start operation.
