What do you know about the safety of UV light?

Can "dark light" affect people's health? Can a UV light trap hurt me, my customers, or my staff? What safety standards should I keep in mind while I select the best technology for my company? You are right to look for answers because cutting-edge technology might logically lead to many questions.

You'll feel more at ease employing a UV light trap if you are aware of the following UV light information:

- According to research, the best wavelength for luring flying insects is between 345 and 370 nm, and the UVA tubes in fly killers emit light at this wavelength. All of the various scientists who have investigated the potential risk to humans concur that it is safe to use under normal circumstances. UV fly killers don't make use of UVB or UVC rays.

- The EN 60335-2-59 is a special European standard for UV fly killers. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's (ICNIRP) maximum acceptable doses of radiation are specially tested into PestWest fly killers in accordance with European safety requirements (ICNIRP). Any fly killer that doesn't satisfy the requirements won't pass the test.

- Our UVA fly killers are made to have the least amount of UVA radiation while yet attracting insects effectively. Their overall output is minimal, and on a typical sunny day, outside UVA exposure is far larger.

- The BENWEI tubes' peak output is located at about 365 nm. As more UVA is focused towards the peak wavelength, the lamp is "brighter" where it counts, which means that less electrical energy is lost producing light that isn't particularly useful for luring flying insects. The BENWEI tubes' initial total UVA output is equal to that of conventional UVA tubes.

We hope that this succinct review will assist you in learning the fundamentals of UV light and give you the confidence to use a UV light fly trap.
