Re: useing UV

Bryant,
We are answering in more general terms because the original post doesn't specify output power, output spectrum or beam width. There are so many devices, we cannot give you a simple answer. I did a search for both blacklight bulbs and UV LEDs including flashlights. There were no associated warning labels on the blacklight bulbs. The flashlights carried a warning to use special glasses and to never point the light into someone's eyes. That should be sufficient to question their use on a robot in close proximity to people.
