No. Neither High or Low pressure Sodium Vapour lamps give off much energy in the UV wavelengths.

Does ventless heaters give off uv rays?

No, ventless heaters do not emit UV rays. These heaters operate by burning fuel in an oxygen-depleted environment to produce heat, but they do not emit UV radiation as a byproduct.

Do all light bulbs give off UV light?

All lamps will give off UV but incandescent lamps will give-off unmeasurably small amounts. Discharge lamps essentially all contain mercury and mercury in the discharge gives off UV. However, most lamps are enclosed in UV-absorbing glass, either as primary containment or as an outer enclosure (bulb), so very little gets beyond the outer bulb. If any lamp emits more then almost no UV, it has to be marked (R in the US), and a warning given that it cannot be used in an open fixture - in other words, it must be used behind a UV absorber (usually what is called soft glass - similar to normal window glass).


What is UV cut off?

UV cut off refers to the wavelength at which a material or substance stops absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light. It is the point at which the material becomes transparent to UV radiation, allowing it to pass through. UV cut off is often used in the context of UV-blocking products like sunscreens and sunglasses to indicate their protective capabilities against harmful UV rays.


Can UV lighting be seen or felt?

From what I know, UV rays stands for ultraviolet radiation. In nature UV lights can`t be seen, because they`re wave lengths are shorter than visible light. But special florescent light bulbs or black lights do give off long-wave UV radiation that is very close to the violet color of the visible spectrum. So it gives of a blackish/ very dark purplish color. You don`t really feel UV light unless you stay and the sun to long and get sun burnt. So all in all you can`t see UV lights or feel them, but you can see an stretched wavelengths of UV and the side effects of have to much UV light.


What objects can give off UV rays or waves besides the usage of the sun?

Some artificial sources that can emit UV rays or waves include UV lamps, tanning beds, welding arcs, and certain types of light bulbs and lasers. These sources can potentially emit harmful UV radiation and proper precautions should be taken when exposed to them for prolonged periods.


Can a plant survive in black light?

No a plant will die and shrink because of the UV rays that the black light give off.
