Shat-R-Shield shatterproof / shatter-resistant T5 fluorescent lamps are coated from end-to-end with the patented, plastic safety coating.
The coating reduces light output by only less than 1% and is a minimum of 16-mils thick. Antioxidants and ultraviolet stabilizers are present in
most coatings to block UV emissions from 180 - 390 nanometers. If used properly under warranty criteria, the coating is guaranteed not to yellow,
crack or flake for the rated-life of the lamp. Choose Shat-R-Shield shatterproof lighting products for the ultimate in safety and reliability.
Shat-R-Shield T5HO lamps can be used in open or closed fixtures with ambient temperature up to 400°F.
Safety-coated T5 HO fluorescent lamps, do not block ultraviolet (UV) light.
If a Shat-R-Shield fluorescent lamp is accidentally broken, virtually all glass, phosphors and mercury are safely contained within the clear and
tough, skin-tight plastic coating.
