If the UV Light is on can you see it? Are you exposed to the UV light?

I agree with the others that you may get a glimpse of it; it's inside the appliance. I don't believe it's exposing me to any UV light. It's the light on the front control panel that is BRIGHT (and why I covered it with black tape/paper so I can sleep)

You can see a slight glow from the back of the unit. I use it in my bedroom at night, and it's not bright enough to keep me awake. I certainly wouldn't worry about the UV radiation.

Do you walk outside during the daytime? If you do, I would not worry about a small light used to purify the water during the evaporation process.

The front panel light is brilliant blue, almost enough to be called a piercing blue light. This is not the UV light though. I find the blue distracting but then that is only until I lie down and put my sleep mask over my eyes. As someone else mentioned, you can tape over the blue light easily if you want to.

You can't see it while in operation. You can, however, get a small glimpse of it if you take the right tank off the unit, and peak through the small water flow hole while in a dark room. You can see a faint glow through the hole. I've never seen it on the outside of the unit while in operation. The light is completely contained inside the unit. You might be able to get a glimpse of it if you really looked, as others have said below. I've not been able to see it on the outside at all. If you're worried about the UV light leaking, it isn't an issue.

You see ever so little of the uv light from the back bottom of the unit but it is certainly not a concern. The main light seen is the blue led light on the front indicating the unit is on.

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

You are not exposed to the UV light; it is tucked underneath the unit and easy to change. I got the bulb with 20% coupon at bed bath and beyond recently. When the UV light burns out, a small warning light will show.

Yes, it is my understanding that it has everything to do withe the intensity of the light. It is not providing any UVA or UVB rays which might be filtered out by glasses. I wear my glasses while I sit next to my Happy Light and read or work on my computer. So does my mother.

Sorry, I don't know if ours has UV feature, but if it does...it's clear and easy to clean.

On the side of the unit, near the top, there is a small grey pullout flap. Underneath that there is a switch to turn the UV bulb on and off

You have to take the top cover off, unplug it, and remove the 5 or 6 screws on the top which reveals a small panel. The UV light is under this panel.

No I did not. I believe it worked with the ultraviolet light only. And it worked very well!

UV is on when the button is in, off when it's out. When it's on there's a light that's kinda hard to see through the front inside.

No it's not a uv light. It had the appearance of a uv light because of the colored plastic cover only.

No, because this lamp does not produce ultraviolet (UV) rays. Your skin only produces vitamin D when it's exposed to UV-B light.

My thought was yes. UVC is a short wavelength and that is why it is blocked by our atmosphere. So it is easily blocked by glasses and probably plastic as well, especially plastic that we know blocks UVA and UVB rays. Here something from Wikipedia: Ordinary glass is partially transparent to UVA but is opaque to shorter wavelengths, whereas silica or quartz glass, depending on quality, can be transparent even to vacuum UV wavelengths. Ordinary window glass passes about 90% of the light above 350 nm, but blocks over 90% of the light below 300 nm. So with resonable confidence yes they block UVC, which is what germicidal lamps put out. Watch out for your exposed skin though.

You would have to ask the manufacturer. They claim to block the UV rays but I am no expert and certainly not the right person to answer this for you. I would hope that they were not falsely advertising that feature, but I am going to assume at the very least that they help regardless.

I don't recall but as far as I can tell from being inside I don't think many UV rays come through. It seems very shaded in the screen house.

It is Ultraviolet light, which humans can't see, so during the day it is very hard to see if it is on or off, but at night you should be able to see it. If at night the whole bulb is glowing then it is working, if only the top is glowing there is a problem.

The UV light in this flashlight is near UV, in the 400 nm range. Humans can see to down to 385 nm. Steripen's UV is deeper UV that we cannot see. The bulb also emits visible light so we can tell when it is on but it is the deep UV that kills viruses, bacteria, giardia, etc.

Yes I think so , not sure if my tech uses a uv or led light. But I think so. Sorry hope info helps.

No. The film is reflective but you can still see through it up close or if lights are on behind it.

If the dimmer is set to off and the color selected is white, then you can see it. Any other color is hard to see in sunlight.
