Can the long wave tube be substituted for a medium wave tube at a later time? Are the lamps tuned to work with only a SW/LW combination?
The SW bulb has Hoya SW filter glass. The LW bulb has the much less expensive LW filter glass. The LW filter glass will only pass about 60% of the MW, while the SW glass will pass about 90%. You could switch the SW bulb with a MW bulb, but I do not think you would be happy with the MW bulb behind the LW glass. However, I can make the lamps with any combination of parts. The SW glass WILL work with the either the LW OR the MW bulb, so it is possible to use TWO pieces of SW glass in building a lamp fixture, but it adds to the cost because of the difference in the cost of the SW glass vs. the LW glass.
