Is it safe for people to use or be around? What other uv light does it produce?

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.

It should be safe around humans, as it works as the sun to help reptiles to help their bones, the uvb light. like any lifht don't stare into it. I haven't had any problems. Good luck.

Good question, I think the size of the machine since it is smaller and compact that the uv rays from the light may be too much for it, and be dangerous. Hope that helps :)

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 !

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.

Steve,I believe its a great idea, I ordered this item but the quality is very poor in my opinion. The directions are a little difficult to grasp, also i said the same thing in a review to amazon. Check out some others UV sanitizers before you purchase this item. Good Luck!!

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.

Regarding the "ozone" concern.....the company states the following:"No ozoneA specially designed UV-C light bulb is used so no ozone is produced. The UV-C light bulb (model LB1000) needs to be replaced every six to eight months depending on use."I personally had one and loved it. Ran smoothly!

Hi Kristi, I googled the product information and it says the light emits Blue Light but when You have it on, it appears like normal white light to the human eye. The product description says it does not emit UV light. This product does help SAD. I have one. Enjoy and I hope this helps.

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.

The XL does not have a UV light in it, which is why it costs less. The UV light is good for killing pathogens in the air. Both have air filters, though. We already have UV-equipped air filters so didn't need to pay for it in the infrared furnace. If your home is moldy, or if you have health concerns, then having a UV filter can be a good thing - but it doesn't have to be part of the infrared heater.

UV-B is the UV you need to worry about, but it's in the 280nm - 315nm range. UV-A is essentially what's known as blacklight, in the 315nm - 400nm range. Starting at 400nm, we get violet, of the visible and non-ultra kind. So this 395nm light is at the safe end of blacklight. No need to worry. It's OK for lighting up phosphorescent material, but not even close to the kind of UV you get at the tanning salon.

This is a UV light. It doesn't output white light, it's a "black light". You wouldn't use this for more then a few minutes at a time and it's definitely not for hiking or actually seeing in the dark. That being said, I have had the same batteries in it for about 8 months and it still runs strong, however its only used about once every 2 months for maybe 2-3 minutes.

It is used as a mold and germicidal tool. Ultraviolet C is that frequency of light that kills germs, mold and spores. Normally we are protected from UV-C by the atmosphere. These special lights are used in hospitals and other areas where its light is necessary to kill biohazards. Skin should not be exposed to the light as it is harmful to humans as well. If you get one, just be careful to keep its light aimed away from you.

Unknown. Because the UV is a feature that you can turn off or on, you don't have to use it. The unit itself does a very good job without the UV. You could try calling the manufacturer-their website doesn't mention the type of UV light, but customer service might.

I have used led, but it doesn't last as long as uv....best to use uv I think

UV light is for nail drying. LED light is for the timer. I thought you misread the description. You need to do two times to get nail dried. I got headache from the UV light, therefore, I am not using it very much. It is quite big and heavy. It has excessive room for one hand but is tight for both hands in.
