[QUOTE="MrSpectrum, post: 1900532, member: 105703"] Sorry if I'm beating a dead lizard here--I tried the search facility and Google, but didn't find anything close to what I was looking for. [b]FIRST[/b], I'm still garnering information--I haven't reached any personal conclusions yet. [b]SECOND[/b], I'm not/don't mean to be proselytizing--[b][i]just passing along what I was told by a professional[/i][/b]. I recently had an eye exam. My optometrist likes to keep things casual by chit-chat, which is fine. The topic of getting/keeping a BD came up, as did the UVB requirement. He cautioned me that UV is/can be harmful to human eyes/vision, especially if/when the bulb is viewed directly. I asked if it was just one type (UV-A or UV-B) and he said [i]any [/i]UV. This went into my decision to mount the UV-B tube above the false ceiling in the enclosure I'm building, and if necessary, add a shade/barrier that would prevent anyone looking into the enclosure from being able to see the bulb directly. I'm also wondering if this might only be a problem if a viewer was within the effective range of the bulb (though again, in my case, a viewer [i]would [/i]be within effective range). Has this been discussed here? Anyone have a link or links to pertinent discussions/articles? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
