UV/Black Lights Dangerous

Name: Anonymous 2007-02-22 12:48 ID:Kn9onzO9

I have a riced out case thats reactive with black light. So I decied to try and get some of those compact fluorescent bulbs to use in 2 lamps in my room.

I have good coverage and leave them on just about constantly when its dark enough. What I am wondering is if regualr fluorescent black light may be dangerous for me in some way?

UV light always has a small negative effect. In small doses it's mostly harmless, but constant exposure to UV radiation can cause skin cancer.

However, to be in serious risk you'd have to do something stupid like sit directly under the lamp and soak it up constantly. If this is just in your PC case and you're not constantly in front of your computer when it's on, you should be fine.

(Note: I am definitely not a doctor, and I'm prepared to call anyone here who says they are a blatant liar. Take this with a grain of salt and talk to somebody licensed.)
