Are you sure he aquired it and was not just born that way?

I quote again, your comment says, "UV doesn't get through glass". Dead incorrect. Not specifically about cfls.

Your problem too, 'cos of your silly claim about cfls not emitting UV.

Read and learn.

According to the European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in 2008, CFLs may pose an added health risk due to the ultraviolet and blue light emitted. This radiation could aggravate symptoms in people who already suffer skin conditions that make them exceptionally sensitive to light. The light produced by some single-envelope CFLs at distances of less than 20 cm could lead to ultraviolet exposures approaching the current workplace limit set to protect workers from skin and retinal damage. Industry sources claim the UV radiation received from CFLs is too small to contribute to skin cancer and the use of double-envelope CFLs "largely or entirely" mitigates any other risks.[63]

A 2012 study comparing cellular health effects of CFL light and incandescent light found statistically significant cell damage in cultures exposed to CFL light. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of significant UVA and UVC radiation, which the study's authors conjectured was attributable to damage in the bulbs' internal phosphor coatings. No cellular damage was observed following exposure to incandescent light of equivalent intensity. The study's authors suggest that the ultraviolet exposure could be limited by the use of "double-walled" bulbs manufactured with an additional glass covering surrounding the phosphor-coated layer.[6

I'm 100% right about that. Physics isn't your domain, neither is biology. But Wikipedia is free, as you may already know.

My everyday spectacles have a coating to deter UV. So optical glass alows UV to pass.

There is no such thing as LNP either. But, they do insist they exist.

I checked the other day. They are still around man. You need to get extra strength lenses on your specs. You've been rubbing the glasses on something or something. :-)

I order you to prepare the doll under the bed by patching up any holes, for your trip to south pole next week. No companion cats or dogs for you, as you may end up eating them. :-))

Keep dreamin my man....you may hit with a shocker...just wait.

Yeah, that makes sense. Roddles gota be around 200 years old according to history reports. ;-)

LNP exists as a political party in Qld.

Are you really sticking up for Rod? I guess he'll be pleased there is one at least :-)

And a full glass light fitting will do the same job, including the $10 batten fix frosted glass balls. I suggest you buy some of those and stop worrying.

Yep, the supermarkets are full of halogen bulbs now, which are still inandescent globes, and most people don't notice any difference except for the minor improvement in efficiency boldly displayed on the packaging. Plus the extra cost of course!

**I don't have an axe to grind WRT Rod. He has insulted me in the past and will likely do so in the future. He has also agreed with me. He doesn't seem to carry a grudge. I do enjoy pointing out hypocrisy when I see it, however.
