Is it true that halogen lights emit UV radiation?
The first thing we need to understand is that the amount of UV-B rays that are emitted from a halogen bulb is slight, however, it is true that they do emit UV-B rays. When Häfele developed its halogen line, this issue was addressed and the system we offer has several advantages over other solutions. First, all of our halogen fixtures are fitted with a special lens, which covers the bulb. This lens filters over 99% of the UV-B rays. One other benefit of the lens is that in the event of a bulb bursting (which can happen if the bulbs were handled with bare hands) the lens will contain the broken glass. Lastly, the lens covers on the Häfele fixtures are a twist-on, twist-off design which will stay firmly in place, unlike others that are push fit and tend to loosen over time due to deterioration caused by exposure to UV rays.
