Bougt brand new astrolux mf01s UV light. I never turned it on so I’m not sure it works so you are buying as-is.
I couldn’t muster the courage to put the batteries in. It comes with the glasses banggood ships with it (your responsibility in ensuring these glasses will protect your eyes from UV damage/radiation.

Educate yourself of how to work with UV lighting regarding safety and operation prior to purchase, thanks!
I have no doubt this light can be dangerous. However i’d like a more precise assessment. How bad is it compared to a sunny day at the beach or spring skiing?
BTW: since you have this light; i was curious to know how useful it would be to hunt for luminescent stuff. Can you turn off the UVC leds and only use the UVA part? A quick review would be welcome.
The problem is protecting your eyes as far as permanent damage goes. UV will cause pain near the damage threshold so you do tend to look away if it is a momentary reflection like from a laser. IR you won’t, you just hear a sizzle/pop and then blackness. Game over. In this case it’s a good amount for relatively longer periods so definitely have the right glasses. I think the danger there is cataracts.
You can get glasses for many wavelengths. I would protect bare skin, too. UV also damages just about everything. Clothes, rubber, etc.
I’ll take it. I’m surprised with your background you didn’t get some use out of it. If anyone else was interested in purchasing, i am humble in my ignorance and I relinquish my hold.
