Scott,

    For sure! I just assumed that who handles UV lamps _does_ know what is
doing and that direct eye exposure could cause harm.

    Anyway, it is not so difficult shielding it -use a screen like those
used in banks for validating notes, or something similar; maybe a switch and
a closed box can do the job.

    Apologies,
