Or, if you prefer, click here. Can I ship my own lamps to you for them to be coated? Shat-R-Shield cannot guarantee lamps that we do not directly purchase. We purchase lamps in bulk from the three largest lamp manufacturers, coat them with high quality plastics and sell them through distribution. This actually benefits the end-user because of our negotiated price structure with our suppliers. How much are Shat-R-Shield lamps compared to unprotected lamps, or to sleeve and end cap methods? First, it is misleading to compare price on an unprotected lamp and a protected lamp, because you are comparing apples to oranges. However, when comparing Shat-R-Shield lamps to sleeve and end cap methods, Shat-R-Shield is less expensive over time. When you consider that with sleeve and end cap methods there is labor time and costs in assembly, light output loss and premature lamp burnout due to heat and oil build-up, Shat-R-Shield is less expensive over the life of the lamp. How much does the coating reduce light (lumen) output? Shat-R-Shield's clear coating reduces light (lumen) output by less than one percent (1%). How does Shat-R-Shield's coating effect UV? Shat-R-Shield's standard coating on fluorescent lamps blocks ultraviolet emissions up to 390 nanometers (over 95% of the UV spectrum). Ultraviolet (UV) causes fading in fabric, degradation of paper, loss of vitamins and riboflavin, and adds to discoloration of food products. It can also be a problem for people suffering from a wide variety of illnesses because they are photosensitive. For instance, as many as 60% of lupus patients are photosensitive and are adversely effected by exposure to UV. Can you coat lamps not listed on your price sheet? Yes. Shat-R-Shield currently has a list of almost 600 lamp types that we coat. And, even if the lamp you need is not currently on our list, there is a possibility that we can still coat it. There are several factors that will have to be determined. How can I clean a Shat-R-Shield lamp? Since our lamps have a skin-tight coating, they can be completely immersed in a cleaning tank, rinsed, dried and quickly put back into operation. Can your lamps be used in wash down areas? Shat-R-Shield lamps can be used in wash down areas if they are used in enclosed, gasketted fixtures in refrigerated areas, such as meat packaging plants. How do I recycle a coated lamp? Plastic coated lamps can be recycled, however they often must be stripped of their coating before they can be recycled. Shat-R-Shield's Shat-R-Kote® can be easily removed from the lamp surface by slitting the coating and peeling it away from the lamp. The coating is 16 mils thick, so it peels away easily. Some recycling companies will strip the lamps for you, but there is often an added fee for this service. Shat-R-Shield has arranged special pricing with a national recycling company.Shat-R-Shield Address
