Do Infratech lamps create any harmful UV or safety issues?
Infratech medium wave units emit no measurable UV energy. Infratech iridium, or short wave units emit UV in negligible quantities. When working in close proximity to short wave units, workers should always use appropriate eye protection, in order to prevent eye fatigue or irritation from the bright glare. Operators exposed to the heat should take the same precautions as used whenever working near any oven or equipment with a hot surface.
