This may sound stupid... but... with all the things about UV causing cancer and crap, are UV CCFLs safe to use? I've had a few blistering sun burns before, and I'm not all that keen on giving cancer a chance. Killer T Lymphocytes can only do so much.

if uv cathodes were dangerous then they wouldnt be on the market

Well they aren't that safe or at least stable, least not in the way KB is thinking about.
The inverters are more dangerious then the Cathodes.

you'd probably have to have like 30,000 of them all hooked up with a massive lens focused on you to get any effect

If you sat under it for a few hours you could get a nice tan

well if i get something from it (future uv build) i would get rich from the manufacturer and live my life as good as i can.

I'm a smoker - I got more to worry bout than a pretty light.

And if having a case that makes everything glow is the trade off for dying earlier - I'll take the pretty case!


Naw - but I think you have to be in direct contact of it, with it relatively close to have any effect.. and I think bishop put it best, if ALL of the products sold in the US have to have ridiculous warnings on them like, WARNING: this lighter fluid is flammable!!omgeleven!!, then UV cathodes are nothin

If you taped one to your forehead for six months then maybe, but I woundn't worry too much about the ones in you case.
