I’ve used bug zappers for years and haven’t experienced any eye discomfort. That said, it’s always best to avoid prolonged direct exposure to any UV light.
The UV light in bug zappers is primarily for attracting insects and is generally very weak compared to other UV sources like the sun or tanning beds. So, it shouldn’t be a major concern.
From what I understand, the UV emission in these devices meets strict safety standards. Still, a quick glance is fine, but I wouldn’t recommend staring at it directly.
Got a headache once after watching it too long, could be the light or just me, but I avoid staring now!
They say UV can damage eyes over years, mine’s fine so far, but I’d rather not test it up close and personal.
I’ve used mine for months, no eye harm, though I keep kids from peering at it. Better safe than sorry, right?
The UV’s weak compared to sunlight, haven’t noticed issues, but I position it so I’m not locking eyes with it!
Heard UVA might tire your eyes if you stare, mine’s been okay, but I treat it like any bright light and look away.
