[IBC] Metal Halides and Safety
I just got a metal halide light and there are warnings
all over the box saying it is dangerous to use near people for more then a few minutes. At what distance does it become dangerous and is there a way to decrease the danger. Thanks Ben __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[IBC] Metal Halides and Safety
Sure
Warning Do not operate where people will remain for more then a few minutes unless adequate sheilding or other safety precautions are used. This lamp can cause serious skin burn and eye imflamation from short wave ultraviolet radiation, if the outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured and the arc tube continues to operate. With my metal halides and those of other friends using them I have seen no mention of danger. Can you be more specific as to what the cautions are? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
