Should I be concerned about UV issues for these lights? Thank you for your answers for my last question! :)

UV has a light wavelength below that of the visible range. Since these lights are all within the visible range (minus the red which has part of it in the IR), there should be no UV rays.

I have not had any problems with the blue light. As far as I know, there are no UV issues with the Trident. I don't think there has been a customer complaint or claim concerning the blue light and the blue light frequency falls just outside the UV light range so there shouldn't be any problems. However, the blue light is very bright so you really need to close my eyes or use the eye shields when the trident is pointed towards your eyes. I don't use the eye shields, I just avoid looking at it and since it is against my skin when using it it's not an issue.

I always wear sunscreen so I don't notice any UV issues, but the lights made my eyes feel uncomfortable and I read reports that this may be harmful to eyes so I seldom use them now. It does work on skin problems though.

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure about any UV issues regarding the usage of these lights. There are numerous studies on the benefits of the red lights and blue lights. I would suggest asking the seller. Good luck.

Your welcome! In answer to your question, it does come with eye covers if you choose to use them. But your eyes aren't really exposed to the light, except when using it near your eyes and I just close them. I don't believe this is the UV type that is harmful to your skin like a tanning booth would be. Hope this helps :)

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

haven't had any problems with this. I have them in enclosed globes both ceiling and wall and they do just fine. I think the key is that it not be a sealed fixture. In other words, if air/dust can get into the globe it's probably going to be fine. If the light has a seal / gasket of some sort around it to make it airtight/dust proof, then I wouldn't recommend it. Best LED lights I've purchased so far!

How long did the last? What model did you install them on? My answer is if you installed them and they malfunctioned upon installation then you got a defective pair. In the meantime, I'll tell you that mine work really well they get the job done pretty well... However, I have gone through 3 pairs of these because I'm constantly turning my lights on and off (it's my daily driver). However, these LEDs do give my car a modern look :) Hoping to hear back from you soon so I can properly reply.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

They will cure the same. Uv lights just take longer than an led light. . Gelish has a great mini led light for 25$ . Just b sure 2 buy the plug in adapter. . Doesn't work great with batteries ;)

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

Hi, Thanks for your question. These are safe to look at, although whether LED, Fluorescent, or Incandescent the brighter the light and the longer looking can temporary bother anyone's eyes. Sincerely Rocky Kamrock Lights

Perfectly safe. The amount of UVA/UVB is vanishingly small more than 2 feet away from the bulb, and even at very close range is much less than from the afternoon sun. I think getting a slight burn from touching it after it has been on for a while is a more serious hazard, though its heat output is only in the 40W incandescent range. One should remember, though, that these are flourescent bulbs, and all the warnings about breaking this kind of bulb apply.

I have three that were installed about 15 years ago. Stood up to UV fine, but a severe hell storm took them out last year. Had to replace roof as well.

I've owned these for several years now. I won't say these are great, but they did last several years. They just recently died on me. I haven't removed them yet and haven't checked if they're really dead. Yes, these are real UV lights and lights up 'White' colors in your motherboard, and any UV reflective component that you have installed. I have UV reflective SATA cables (neon green), and they give a pretty good 'Ghost' light effect. So, I'm also certain that it would do the same with UV reflective pipes, etc... And since these are 'Black Lights', don't expect it to light up the inside of your CPU. They are not bright. It's not the purpose of this item. I've owned these for several years now.

As best as I can tell for a DIYer, they are not UL approved. Certainly there are no UL markings. They have "approval" codes from other areas/countries but obviously that doesn't equate to a UL approval. Frankly, I haven't installed them yet because I am trying to figure out a way that will definitely meet US codes. As to whether it can be installed safely, I am confident the lights can.

You hafta trust that red light. The UV light has to remain sealed,it would cause a lot of damage to you if not. Like skin cancer,and possibly end up permanently blind.

yes! any led or uv light brand will work fine. I personally would recommend LED over UV. It cured faster.

I've had my lights for over 6 months and have had no problems to date. I would contact customer service to see if they can replace them

HI There....I believe no UV rays are emitted. RV I am not sure about. I would call Phillips lighting 1-800-555-0050 to see if they can answer your questions. I hope that helps.
