OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MINERALIGHT® DISPLAY LAMPS

W ARNING

Do not look into a lighted shortwave Mineralight lamp
as it can quickly sunburn your eyes and skin. Always hold
Mineralight lamps so that the light beams are away from
you. Use protective eye/face wear and clothing.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

UV energy cannot be detected by the human eye. A bluish light will be visible
through the filter of your lamp. This is due to the emission of visible light from
the tube. The special filter eliminates most of this visible light interference.

Shortwave ... The ultraviolet energy farthest from visible light, shorter than
rays in sunlight and primarily noted for its ability to fluoresce minerals for
chemical analysis and for its germicidal effects.

Midrange ... The ultraviolet energy representing the shortest wavelenghts
found in sunlight, causing sunburn, and used to fluoresce certain substances
more effectively than shortwave or longwave UV light.
