I know there are many topics on retrobright but I have two specific questions:
Will this lamp work:

Secondly, do I need to cover or protect the part of the keyboard which is of another color, like the square part with the key and led light and text in the following picture:

1. Good question ... You could maybe search around to see what kind of lamps that other people have used.
2. If that is plastic, it should probably be OK. If it is paper, then I would not retr0bright it at all. You should avoid exposing metal parts to hydrogen peroxide. Do disassemble it as much as possible.
BTW, first check that the plastic on the inside is significantly lighter than the outside! Some equipment had a quite beige hue from the beginning.

1. As far as I researched so far the only thing that matters is that it is an UV lamp, blacklight is in that range. I'll research more.
2. That is indeed plastic and there is no way that it can be taken apart from the rest of the case. I have disassembled the whole keyboard and cleaned the case with soap and magic sponge, I'll post pictures after I get home so you'll see the difference on the inside.
