At last we can offer two professionally manufactured UV Display Lamps: FSD (Short Wave) and FLD (long wave). Both use LEDs, not tubes. LEDs produce heat, so they are fan cooled.
These LED UV LAMPS are ideal for showing off your fluorescent specimens. They replace older tube-based lamps and so are more reliable, needing virtually no maintenance.
They make it possible for you to make your own Display Cabinet – no electronic expertise needed.

FSD 255nm SHORT WAVE DISPLAY LAMP

Rated at 36W, 240V.    36 Short Wave LEDs in 3 rows of 12.
This lamp’s LEDs emit very little visible light, so the lamp is not filtered. This is a compromise, but the cost of adding a filter would more than double the price. The fluorescence colours are not affected, but there is a slight difference in the luminosity of the specimens. However, it is minimal (I’ve tried it). Judge for yourself in the videos below.

The FSD UV Display Lamp can light a small Short Wave display with height 45cm high and base 45cm wide x 30cm. If you increase the height you can increase the base size, but fluorescence will get dimmer the further your rocks get from the lamp. By using two lamps you can double the width or depth of the display, but the height needs to stay around 45cm. See here for full details of how to make your own display cabinet.

FSD is also good for field use with a battery and small 240V inverter.

Price: $490 + postage.
