Looking around various suppliers, eg http://www.marubeni-sunnyvale.com/uv_lamp.html none make explicit warnings about LEDs, particularly any requiring warning labels, eg http://www.atlanticuv.com/safety.htm To be honest, I've had one or two nasty moments with ultrabright greens. They are just nasty, but aren't labelled as such =========================================== This supplier doesn't sticker the small units, but does the larger ones, implying that if a sticker was needed for the small ones, it would be there http://www.maxmax.com/aFlashLED_SubMini.htm http://www.maxmax.com/aFlashUV4Watt.htm =========================================== The worry is generally with length and degree of exposure. Sunlight is probably the most potent source of UV, especially UVB and UVC and even that takes some prolonged exposure to before health would be affected. Your artwork will be visible because the UV has been transformed into visible wavelengths, but it's hard to say what level of UV reflects unaltered - I'm guessing not much. Compared to an arc welder (which is quite easy to get flash burns from) or a germicidal lamp, I'd have thought LEDs wouldn't be a concern in a setting such as your. But I'm not a doctor or FDA researcher -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
