GlassGuard's BlackBand lamp
coatings have undergone testing by a
leading UK test laboratory. The
results confirm the performance of
the fragment reten tion lamp coating
throughout its life.
A drop test after 50,000 burning hours showed no degradation of the fragment retention qualities of the lamps. This is said to be an important confirmation of the effectiveness and longevity of the BlackBand coating, which protects products, profits and personnel by retaining the glass fragments in case of accidental lamp breakage.
The long life protection provided by the BlackBand range of fluorescent lamps is said to exceed the minimum requirement for IEC 61549 (BS EN 61549) Fragment Retention Lamp Standard.
