ABSTRACT BL is considered more efficient than WL in bilirubin PD because of the greater energy output at the λ of maximal absorption for bilirubin. However, bilirubin PD using BL and WL with

similar irradiance (I) has not been studied. Since PD is dose related to I in vivo, it was hypothesized that BL and WL with similar I should have the same effect on bilirubin PD. Olympic

bili-lites were used with 8-20W duro-test vita-lite for WL and 8-20W F20T12/BB for BL. Sealed heparinized microhematocrit tubes with pre-exchange plasma samples were placed under light with

I varying from 0.9-10.2 μw/cm2/nm for 4 hrs. I was measured in the range of 425-475 nm using the Olympic bilimeter. The pH, albumin, and temp. of the samples under both light sources were
