What is the ultraviolet (UV) output of FIREFLY lamps?
FIREFLY does not market Full Spectrum Lamps. In other brands, full spectrum lamps in the visible range are designed to simulate the color range of sunlight. Its visible light is found in the wavelength range of 400-700 nanometers and emits some UV, but the amounts are well below those found in daylight and sunlight. These are not considered harmful. This is where normal, everyday use lamps (incandescent and fluorescent) fall. Ultraviolet radiation is any radiant energy within the range of 100-380 nanometers. It is beyond the blue or violet region of the spectrum, and is invisible to the eye just like the silent ultrasound dog whistle is inaudible to the ear. Incandescent lamps are not a source of ultraviolet radiation, and do not normally need UV filters. Incandescents do, however, generate heat (infrared radiation, or IR), which should be considered when illuminating plants or materials subject to drying damage. FIREFLY does not make any UVB lamps which are sometimes used for medical
