Combinations of fluorescent lamps for phototherapy were evaluated in order to select one that maximizes blue light content (400 to 500 nanometers) for most effective photodegradation of bilirubin, maintains acceptable color balance for observing infant skin color, and requires minimal lamp replacement for low maintenance cost. The combination that best achieves these objectives consists of four special blue (Westinghouse F20T12-BB) and four broad spectrum (Verd-A-Ray F20T12-CC) lamps that produce blue radiation in excess of an array of eight conventional blue lamps, a spectrum closely approximating that of natural light, and at least 80% of the original blue radiation after 2,100 hours of use.
为了选择一种能使蓝光含量（400至500纳米）最大化以实现胆红素最有效光降解、保持可接受的色彩平衡以观察婴儿肤色且更换灯管最少从而维护成本最低的光疗荧光灯组合，对其进行了评估。最能实现这些目标的组合包括四个特殊蓝色灯管（西屋F20T12 - BB）和四个广谱灯管（Verd - A - Ray F20T12 - CC），它们产生的蓝光辐射超过一组八个传统蓝色灯管，其光谱与自然光非常接近，并且在使用2100小时后仍保留至少80%的原始蓝光辐射。
