Re: useing UV

Yes, blacklights are UV but they produce very little when in use. Since they are not a point source, the energy is spread out and some of it is visible. The UV source for erasing EPROMs is a higher energy and it is protected so that you cannot be in the radiation. Remember that tanning salons (tanning tables) require that you wear eye protection and that is also UV in nature.
