Hello to all,
I had a friend of mine who years ago passed away from what started out as Melanoma. He worked at a tanning salon for many years where he may have been exposed to high levels of ultra violet light.
Last time I spoke with his family, many years ago, they were always suspect that this may have been the cause, however, there was never any concrete evidence, so they were left wondering.
Yesterday, I started wondering if there could be a danger from prolonged exposure to Metal Halide light or High Pressure Sodiums?
You can see my set up exactly on my journal if you like (in my signature) but I will just give you the basic details, here. I am growing in a tent right next to my bed where I sleep, because I basically have no other place. I am in a one bedroom apartment. I am using a blower to remove heat from the reflector. Both MH and HPS are 400 Watts.
I would like to know, if anyone considers HIDs dangerous to your health because of the different spectrums of light they emit, or are these not in high enough levels to really worry about? Any information, guidance, or precautions provided would be greatly appreciated.
