Hello,
I am freaking out a little bit after learning that many people swear they would never hang around in front of a black light for fear of developing skin cancer.
I've had a black light and another fluorescent tube producing a blue light in my room for nearly two years now. I sometimes fall asleep under these things on top of spending hours in here a day, and now I am very worried.
How do I know how dangerous these are to be around casually? Some people say it's no big deal, others would never be around them. I realize they have some range in UVB which sounds even worse.
I found a link to the exacta black light bulb I have from the store I bought it from. I can't find a consumer website for the company, Blue Planet, though.
