The Blak-Ray B-100 Series high powered UV lamps offer brilliant irradiance for optimum fluorescence. B-100AP lamp (shown) is placed in the transformer base for hands-free operation.

What isthe meaning ofillumination

My own interest in illumination and gilding spans both Islamic and medieval manuscripts.  Both traditions employ similar techniques and materials which I use in my own work, examples of which you will find below

B-100SPThis 140 watt longwave, self-ballasted lamp is a highly portable, high intensity lamp for automotive leak detection applications. The ballast is built directly into the bulb. The B-100SP features the Cool-Touch housing and an 8 ft. (2.44m) cord.

The B-100 Series lamps are available in a variety of styles: All "P" series lamps come with the special heat-resistant plastic Cool-TouchTM housing which allows users to handle the lamp head regardless of how long the lamp has been operating. These rugged lamps can be placed face down on a working surface without damage to the filter. The non "P" models are built with an aluminum lamp head.

B-100A and A-100ARThe longwave B-100A is manufactured with a scratch-resistant aluminum housing which connects to ballast base with an 8 foot cord; 8 foot secondary cord is included. The 100 watt longwave UV bulb is excellent for inspection applications. For increased mobility, select the B-100AR which includes 20 ft (6.1m) primary and secondary cords. Uses for these lamps include non-destructive testing and fluorescence inspection.

Illuminationdefinition Science

The term "illumination" is used to describe the art of decorating manuscripts through the application of gold or silver.  Literally to "light up" or "enlightenment", the tradition of illuminating manuscripts exists across many cultures and religions and extends to both sacred and non sacred texts.  The Turkish term for illumination is "Tezhip" which means "to gild" and is derived from the Arabic word "dhahab" meaning gold.

Once the gesso has fully dried and hardened, the letter is gently burnished (polished).  This smooths the surface of the letter and makes it ready to receive the gold which will shine more brightly when the surface is as smooth as possible.  Loose leaves of gold are then cut and carefully applied until several layers have been laid and the letter is completely covered. The final step is to gently burnish the gold until a beautiful mirror like shine is achieved.

I studied these techniques with Helen White at the Prince's School of Traditional Arts - and would highly recommend a class with Helen to anyone interested in working with gold - see the resources section of the site for more information.

B-100AP and B-100AP/RB-100AP models feature 100 watt longwave UV, Cool-Touch housing and ballast base. At 18 in. (457 mm), the lamp produces a highly intense center of UV irradiance about 5 in. (127 mm) in diameter. Lamp head can rotate 360 degrees when attached to the base for hands-free operation or lamp can be removed from the base. 8 ft primary and secondary cords. For added mobility, select the B-100AP/R which includes 20 ft (6.1m) primary and secondary cords. Uses for these lamps include non-destructive testing and fluorescence inspection.

Materials: 2 different shades of 22 carat shell gold, 12 carat (white) shell gold and hand ground pigments on tea stained watercolour paper.

I studied the illumination techniques to create this painting with Ayesha Gamiet at The Prince's School of Traditional Arts.  Please see the resources section of the site for more information and links.

The lamp head connects to the transformer base for hands free use (all models except B-100SP) allowing the lamp head to rotate a full 360°; remove the lamp from the base for additional mobility

B-100Y and B-100YPThese models feature a yellow filter which blocks wavelengths shorter than 500nm and produces three strong mercury lines at 543, 574 and 576nm. The high contrast light is produced for fine surface particle detection. Particles down to 10 microns are routinely visible with this lamp. B-100Y is built with the aluminum housing; B-100YP with a plastic housing. These lamps are excellent for semiconductor wafer inspection as most photoresist absorption occurs below 450nm.
