Conservation and Preservation

Conservation and Preservation

A wide range of UV blacklight fluorescent inspection lamps for revealing evidence of imperfections and restoration.

Selection of UV-A blacklight equipment should be optimised for a particular application and depends on the following requirements:

  • UV light irradiation area
  • UV light intensity
  • Ambient light levels

The case for UV

UV blacklights for enabling conservators to reveal evidence of imperfections, restoration and repair to items such as paintings, paper, books and ceramics, which are not easily visible under normal lighting.

Other applications include detection of forgeries, mould and enhancement of difficult to read print on paper and parchments.
