What is UVA and UVB protection

I believe it is protection from the harmful rays of the sun (ultraviolet A and B). I found this to be a very nice umbrella, by the way, and great on vacation.

UV protectant means that the gutter foam is resistant to deterioration from the sun's UV rays. Fire retardant means that the foam is treated to resist fire - it is not flammable. Germicide means that it has been treated to resist bacteria and mold.

Yes, this does have UV protection. We bought it for our hot tub cover, and it certainly keeps it shiny and supple. I use it in my vehicle on the dash, doors, & leather seats. We have been very pleased with this product! But...I have not used it on fabric.

I am not totally sure of that answer, I just figured it was like clothes, if its covering up you aren't getting the full impact of the UV light, just like when you are out in the sun, your clothes protect your body. I think its better than not using them at all.

I'm not a molecular scientist but i do believe the exposure to the uv light is extremely minimal.Need notworry about sunburn.

The manufacturer doesn't have a bulb replacement and that is one reason why its a UVA and not UVC bulb. The latter needs to be changed every 6 months or so as indicated by their other products and is also more effective against germs.

uvb is ray that will cause skin aging and perhaps cancer, the sunlamp would not have uvb ray but would eliminate them. vitamin d is made by the body from other rays of sunlight.

Yes my kit came with UV protection gloves, but they aren't needed as this is LED light and does not put out the harmful uv rays.

I don't know exact numbers on the UV protection but they definitely keep the sun out so I'm sure the UV protection is pretty strong.

You have to look carefully at the label. The product pictured here does not have the uva/uvb protection. But they have a very similar product that looks identical except it has an orange 50 (SPF) on the label and it does have the uva/uvb protection. I actually emailed the company to confirm they are still making it because it is getting harder to find.

The UV light kills mold spores, viruses, bacteria, and more, which leads to better, healthy air. UV lamps are used in air conditioning systems to help prevent mold and mildew growth on the evaporator coils. It's proven technology, and provides healthier, cleaner air quality.

LED is a type of bulb, while UV is a ray. This lamp has LED bulbs that transmit UV rays. I have the lamp and it works just great.

No because there is no UV protection in product description or advertised as such

My sense is that there is some degree of UV protection and that's why I purchased one, as it was recommended by my dermatologist. Most cotton fabric has a minimum SPF of 15 for example.

UV just means that it give off an Ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light can be created by different types of bulbs. LED is a light-emitting diode- a type of light bulb.

I never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....
