Generally seaking, UF LEDs are long wave UV, just a bit shorter than blue wavelengths. Its the short wavelength UV that's more powerful and damaging.
UV is nothing to trifle with. When I was a kid, a friend and I messed around with a homemade welder and we both got sunburned, and I got 'hot sand in the eyes' which was very painful.
*All* UV radiation is dangerous for the skin. It's a matter of what wavelength and for how long.
Then there's duct tape ...
