Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a storage locker at Site-15. SCP-XXXX is to remain in an "unpowered" state at all times, except for testing purposes. Testing must first be approved by a staff member of level 4 or higher clearance due to a noted decrease in functionality since recovery. Testing is encouraged to be kept to a minimum for this same reason.
Personnel exposed to SCP-XXXX in a "powered" state within its effective radius for longer than 20 minutes should receive an immediate hemoglobin test, and, depending on the results, receive a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 75W light bulb, believed to have been manufactured at some point within the last ██ years. No logos or other identifying markings were present on SCP-XXXX at the time of recovery, so the original manufacturer is, as of yet, unknown.
Despite various tests confirming that the bulb portion of SCP-XXXX is made of standard quartz glass, the object has shown extreme resilience towards physical stress. Testing to determine the maximum allowable stress of SCP-XXXX has been denied due to risk of object destruction. The interior of SCP-XXXX has been determined to be filled with Argon gas.
SCP-XXXX’s primary anomalous effects manifest when it is in a "powered" state, that is, when SCP-XXXX is connected to an AC circuit. SCP-XXXX’s glass surface appears completely black, absorbing ~99.38% of light shone on its surface, as well as redirecting light from other sources into itself, thus making the location of exposure appear darker as long as SCP-XXXX remains "powered". SCP-XXXX appears to be capable of redirecting light within an effective radius of 5 meters, with the amount of redirected light decreasing exponentially as the distance increases. For reference, SCP-XXXX is capable of redirecting ~22%1 of external light into itself from a distance of 2.5 meters. Additionally, SCP-XXXX does not appear to need power to function; rather, it seems to generate a power output based on how much light is absorbed by the object. The mechanism for how SCP-XXXX generates this power is currently unknown.
SCP-XXXX's secondary anomalous effect manifests when an object with pigmented coloration is exposed to SCP-XXXX in a "powered" state within its effective radius. Pigments present in exposed objects will gradually begin to fade when exposed to SCP-XXXX. This effect does not appear to be permanent if an object is exposed for less than 20 minutes. When exposed for a period longer than 20 minutes, pigments will begin to dissipate completely, starting with those on the surface and spreading inward until the entire object is devoid of pigment. The rate of spreading is variable depending on the object's mass, volume, density and distance from SCP-XXXX. In living organisms, affected pigments include melanin and hemoglobin as well as several other organic pigments, which, when exposed for prolonged periods, can result in translucent skin and organs, as well as severe cases of anemia.
Addendum-XXXX-1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered on 7/11/20██ following an investigation of several reported cases of paleness and loss of conciousness at a student art exhibition in ███████, WI. SCP-XXXX was found incorporated in a sculpture titled "Achrom" credited to █████ █████. Sculpture was confiscated along with SCP-XXXX, and Class A Amnestics were administered to affected patrons of the art exhibition. When interrogated, the credited artist claimed to have no knowledge of SCP-XXXX or its origins. Mnestic therapy yielded no useful information.
Addendum-XXXX-2: Recovered Documentation
The following is a transcript of a flyer which was found posted outside of the building where the art exhibition in ███████, WI took place. Several other copies were found at various locations in the city and were subsequently confiscated.
