  2. Ultraviolet light therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_light_therapy

    Ultraviolet light therapy or ultraviolet phototherapy is a treatment for psoriasis, atopic skin disorder, vitiligo and other skin diseases. There are two main treatments: UVB that is the most common, and PUVA.

  3. UV marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_Marker

    UV LEDs emitting near-ultraviolet light are used to read messages written by UV markers. The near-ultraviolet radiant energy is also called black light with a wavelength of 380 nm, which falls just outside the visible spectrum. The lamps used have very narrow bandwidth, compared to regular fluorescent black lights. Therefore, UV LEDs are ...

  4. Ultraviolet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

    Halogen lamps with fused quartz envelopes are used as inexpensive UV light sources in the near UV range, from 400 to 300 nm, in some scientific instruments. Due to its black-body spectrum a filament light bulb is a very inefficient ultraviolet source, emitting only a fraction of a percent of its energy as UV, as explained by the black body ...

  5. Blacklight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacklight

    A blacklight, also called a UV-A light, Wood's lamp, or ultraviolet light, is a lamp that emits long-wave ultraviolet light and very little visible light. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] One type of lamp has a violet filter material, either on the bulb or in a separate glass filter in the lamp housing, which blocks most visible light and allows through UV ...

  6. UV-B lamps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV-B_lamps

    UV-B lamps are lamps that emit a spectrum of ultraviolet light with wavelengths ranging from 290–320 nanometers. This spectrum is also commonly called the biological spectrum due to the human body's sensitivity to light of such a wavelength. [1] UV-B light does not tan the skin very much, compared to the UV-A lamps that are used in tanning beds.

  7. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal...

    A low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge tube floods the inside of a biosafety cabinet with shortwave UV light when not in use, killing microbes on irradiated surfaces. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection technique employing ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C (180–280 nm), to kill or inactivate microorganisms ...

  8. Ultraviolet index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_index

    A UV index reading of 3 to 5 means moderate risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Stay in shade near midday when the sun is strongest. If outdoors, wear sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Generously apply broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every 1.5 hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or ...

  9. Photokeratitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photokeratitis

    Photokeratitis can be prevented by using sunglasses or eye protection that transmits 5–10% of visible light and absorbs almost all UV rays. Additionally, these glasses should have large lenses and side shields to avoid incidental light exposure. Sunglasses should always be worn, even when the sky is overcast, as UV rays can pass through ...
