Zusammenfassung:A UV fluorescent tube life indicator comprises a first portion of material 3, 4 to emit a first visible radiation signal indicating the quantity of UVA radiation emitted by a UV source, and a second portion of material 5 to emit a second visible radiation signal indicating the quantity of visible radiation emitted by the source. The indicator is in the form of a disc 1, having a central core comprising the first material 3, 4 and an annular ring surrounding the core comprising the second material 5. The UV fluorescent tube 2 emits both visible and UV light. Visible light 2 is partially transmitted through the diffusing material 5 but absorbed by filter material 3; UV light is transmitted by filter material 3 and causes fluorescent layer 4 to fluoresce visible light.
