Can Indoor UV Lights Be Dangerous To Your Health?

We have been told over and over again that the danger from direct sunlight is in the UV rays. It is said to cause anything from premature wrinkling to brown spots on the skin to skin cancer. But now with the current energy crisis, the emphasis is to save energy and go green. We are encouraged to use those twisty little UV light bulbs in our homes and places of employment. This is causing some amount of confusion among consumers. If UV light is so bad for us, why are we being told to use those CFBs? CFB stands for compact fluorescent bulb, those spiral twisted light bulbs.

Actually, the amount of UV radiation that is emitted from those bulbs is nowhere near the amount that we get from direct sunlight. There doesn’t appear to be enough radiation to cause any serious damage UNLESS you have diseases such as lupus, inflammatory diseases or autoimmune diseases. Any amount of UV rays can cause problems.

It is suggested that we stay at least a foot away from CFBs, and it is further recommended that if we are at all worried or have any sensitivities we should use the double envelope kind instead of the single envelope bulbs. Many people are also asking if they should use sunscreen in order to protect themselves indoors as well as out. In most cases this is not necessary since the amount of radiation is minimal compared to exposure to direct sunlight. The one exception would be for people suffering from conditions that make them highly sensitive. Simply stay far enough away from CFBs you are using and they should pose no danger.
