The #702 portable blacklight is a high intensity discharge lighting device which produces a wash of near ultraviolet light for effect. Ultraviolet light waves cause white reflective and specially treated surfaces to fluoresce while dark or absorptive surfaces become invisible. The lamp, an ANSI code H37KB-250, contains an integral filter to eliminate any harmful ultraviolet while maximizing the near ultraviolet effect. Effective distance for the #702 is 10 to 20 feet from the subject. Common usage for the #702 is to project a beam of ultraviolet from the wings or to hang from a light pipe with the optional "C" clamp. The #702 is constructed of 18 gauge steel with integral ballast, reflector, line cord and carry handle. The #702 is provided with an adjustable locking tilt head for focusing. Finish is baked blue hammertone enamel.
