Farer ved blacklight/UV-lys?

[Kaggen]

Hei

 

Nettopp fått en 60 cm blacklight armatur fra ljudia.no, men da jeg satt meg ned og leste bruksanvisningen stod det at man ikke skulle se direkte på lampa.. Hva menes med det? Kan man ikke se på lampa i det hele tatt(ganske umulig) eller bare at man ikke skal klistre seg inntil den?

hehe...

Synes hele advarsel har blitt litt for mye amerikanisert. dvs. Dont eat the lamp, its not a sex toy etc.....

 

Med den styrken du får servert, blir man neppe solbrent.

"Soft" ultraviolet light in the UVA (where most black lights are) may cause wrinkles and skin cancer. Slightly "harder" UVB causes sunburn.[1] UV doesn't trigger our pupillar reflexes and might potentially cause opacification of the eye lens risking cataracts. This may occur after a life's worth of normal sunlight as well but might put night-club workers at risk.

The primary health concerns most often associated with ultraviolet light relate to skin irritation (erythema) and eye irritation (conjunctivitis). Such irritations might occur when an individual is exposed to light energy emitted under 320 nanometers.

Lamps emitting energy below this wavelength are within the Middle UV and Far UV ranges — and are commonly referred to as tanning lamps and germicidal lamps, respectively.

 

Black Light insect attraction lamps emit light energy at 365 nanometers (UVA).

 

While UVA energy is well above the harmful UVB range of energy (320 nanometers), certain thresholds of exposure to UV light sources have been established to ensure personnel safety as related below:

 

150,000 hours — of continuous exposure at a distance of twenty feet (20’) or 6.1 meters from a light source;

 

1,500 hours — of continuous exposure at a distance of six feet (6') or 1.83 meters from a light source;

 

Forty (40) hours — of continuous exposure at a distance of one foot (.3048 meter) from a light source.

Jeg kommer sikkert ikke til å ha den på mer enn noen kvelder i uken, så er det noe fare da? Rommet mitt er btw 3x4m..
