Ultra Violet Lights

What are UV Lights?

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies beyond the violet end of the visible light spectrum. The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic wavelength spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380nm to 700nm nanometers. Below 380nm is in the UV range and above 700nm is in the infra red range.

Are UV Lights dangerous?

The answer depends on the wavelength of the UV light in question. As mentioned earlier, anything below 380nm falls under the UV range. The UV range is further divided into 3 distinct ranges:
1) UVA (Long-wave Ultraviolet) (315nm to 400nm) – Not dangerous. All UV Black lights sold here are in this range.
2) UVB (Medium-wave Ultraviolet) (280nm to 315nm) – Dangerous – Causes Sunburns and cancer
3) UVC (Short-wave Ultraviolet) (100nm to 280nm) – Very Dangerous – May cause blindness

Are UV Black Lights necessary for charging up your products?

This depends on the products you are getting. Products in the UV Light Reactive and UV Light Fluorescent can only work when exposed to UV Black lights. So UV Black lights are totally necessary.

If you are getting any of our Glow in the Dark products, UV black lights are a plus, but not necessary. Glow in the dark products can get charged up by Sunlight, or normal White or Blue room lights. However, they get charged up faster with UV black lights.

What is the coverage area for the different UV lights?

Here’s a breakdown of the general area coverage for each type of UV light:

1) UV Torch: UV torches typically have a more localized and narrow coverage area. The range can vary depending on the specific model and intensity, but they are generally designed for close-range applications. The coverage area may range from a few square inches to a couple of square feet.

2) UV Laser: UV lasers emit a highly focused and concentrated beam of UV light, resulting in a smaller coverage area. The coverage area of a UV laser can range from a few square millimeters to a few square centimeters, depending on the specific laser type and power.

3) UV Bulb: UV bulbs provide a broader coverage area compared to UV torches and lasers. The coverage area of a UV bulb can range from several square feet to tens of square feet, depending on the wattage, design, and positioning of the bulb.

4) UV Fluorescent Tubes: UV fluorescent tubes offer a wider coverage area similar to UV bulbs. The coverage area can range from a few square feet to several hundred square feet, depending on the size and arrangement of the tubes.

It is important to note that the actual coverage area may vary based on factors such as the power output, distance from the target, and the reflective properties of the surfaces being illuminated. It is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines for accurate information on the coverage area of a specific UV light product.
