Lupus, 05/01/09
Nuzum-Keim AD et al. - Study concludes that patients with photosensitivity have choices depending on their relative risk from different ultraviolet light (UVL) wavelength spectra. UVB exposure risk may be reduced the greatest by utilising compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) with manufacturer-provided shields.
Methods- Study to compare the levels of UVA and UVB leak between residential lighting sources
- UVA and UVB outputs of equivalent wattage CFL, incandescent and halogen bulbs were measured at 10, 25, 50, 100 and 150 cm away from the light source
- IL-1700 research radiometer equipped with UVA and UVB detectors was used for measurement
- Negligible UVB and UVA was detected at 100 and 150 cm
- At 10, 25 and 50 cm, UVA leaked highest from incandescent and halogen bulbs, and UVB leaked highest from CFL
- Overall UVA/UVB leak was lowest from CFL shielded during the manufacturing process
