From someone who has been zapped by a transformer from these things I must say it hurts like a .... well it hurts a lot is what I'm trying to say. Its not likely a lethal amount but it certainly cause issues when trying to remove a robot or get to the power switch on the bot. With using UV lighting, there is certainly a problem with the CMUcams, when I brought the CMU can home to work with it I had issues with it getting distracted by my computer which is lit with UV CCFLs. This occured at a distance of roughly 3 feet. It is also important to note that the CMUcams are quite sensitive to a number of wavelengths and things such as too much red or blue can affect its ability to see green. There is an up and down to using a color in the "center" of visible light in that it is strongest and easiest tosee but it is also the easiest to interfere with.
