- I saw an article in the NYTimes a while ago that said that
- halogen lamps produce a lot of radiation in the UV-b region.
- This is supposedly a harmful part of the spectrum. The authors
- were irate over the fact that manufactures of the these lamps
- do not in general supply some sort of a cover to filter these rays out.
- Any comments???
- Thanks
