Don't worry about: This idea. People will have more chances to develop skin cancer from prolonged sun exposure. Enjoy life !

Not a concern: These are unlikely to contribute to an increased risk of melanoma. Ultraviolet light (sun) is the type of light worth avoiding.

There is no 100% saf: You are always exposed to some radiation at all times. The uv from these lamps is not very much. Pay attention to important risks such as care crossing a street, how you drive your motorcycle, and getting discovered by a jealous husband.
