My little UV light bulb puts out something like 1000x the UV that we get from the sun. It is VERY bad for your skin and eyes. I was turning on/off the light remotely, but now I’ll spend 2 seconds as I walk into the small room to hit the switch.
UV light will fade surfaces, etc. just like sunlight. Most of the lamps are UVC which also puts out ozone gas which is harmful to pets, humans and plants. The gas is also bad for plastics, rubber, etc. So it ruins the elastic on masks.
Sorry - the light is UVC. I forgot how they label it when it also gives off the ozone. UVC+ maybe?
