Remember that tanning salons (tanning tables) require that you wear eye protection and that is also UV in nature.

Not to drag this on or anything but if we were to say diffuse 2 leds with the same wavelength or longer through a tube would you have an issue with it or is it still too questionable.
I understand the dangers with shorter wavelengths or a point source but for near UV at low power diffused like a blacklight I don't see the issue.
