No UV light is emitted from the RedMD. We include goggles which must be used with each treatment.

There is no UV light emitted by the product. UV light starts at 400nm and below, whereas the product puts out light from the 590nm to 880nm range, well above the UV spectrum. Goggles are included with the product and MUST be used at all times, since the light is very bright.

This bulb is a novelty/decoration item and it emits UV-A light, to effectively kill bacteria you should find a bulb that emits UV-C. The type of bulb that will emit UV-C is NOT a toy and will fairly quickly cause damage to eyes and skin. Suggest Google search: "where to buy UV light to kill bacteria."

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

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.

They could possibly be harmful as they are ultraviolet ultraviolet rays can damage the skin over time but they are eco-friendly because they are also LEDs which used very little energy

It lets light in and blocks vision (you can't see in or out), but I don't know about UV rays. Very much like stained glass, just lots easier and cheaper.

I don't think there is a UV Light in here. I bought this light because of the LED lights... Good luck

I would not think it would harm anything. The tip is a soft plastic. UV light does cause plastic to harden after much exposure, but the UV sanitizer only exposes for 10 minutes. After use, we rinse ours under hot tap water. Replacement tips are available on Amazon for about $12.

To the best of my knowledge.....no. UV would be visible as more of a blue/violet light to the naked eye and these bulbs put out a very bright white light.

From tech support at Hydrofarm: Thank you for your inquiry. The bulbs emit an extremely small amount of UV. I suggest getting bulbs specifically for UV light. Feel free to reply with any further questions.

I think it emits UVB, but you cannot correct a low vitamin D level with light alone. Unfortunately, you would expose yourself to unhealthy amounts of sun and light, if it were even possible. You will have to take vitamin D supplements for a while to bring a low level up.

It defuses the sun light. No squinting. Suppose to help with uv. You do not feel direct sun het. I like the product. Not easy to install.

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.

I dont think there will be any harm. Except the unit gets warm after two hours.But it depends on how much u are close or far away to the lampIF u are far away. I dont think it will have any harmAnd if u are close to the lamp. U will get annoyed because it is too bright.

I don't believe it has killing properties, just exudes 'clean air'. Ozone and UV light kills viruses and this does not produce those.

I'm not sure about what UV light does to mites, but I do know that Bacteria and other single-celled organisms are affected by this device.

The Ultraviolet light kills germs. The only chemicals are those found in your water.
