I used a bit of fluorescein which I extracted from a yellow highlighter pen. All i did was dip the highlighter in some rubbing alcohol and ended up with more fluorescein solution than I needed. The results using this solution were incredible!
How long will a UV light last?
12 months
Typically, an Ultraviolet or UV lamp lasts 12 months or about 9000 hours of use. The light stays lit longer than 12 months but after one year of use it’s ability to kill bacteria will slowly diminish and it will no longer kill bacteria, leaving your family vulnerable.
Which is stronger UV or LED lamp?
LED bulbs are thought to be safer than UV bulbs, as they transmit weaker rays. With prolonged exposure to LED light (vs. UV light), it is considered not as hazardous, as with excessive tanning, which can darken the skin and may lead to skin cancer with prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays.
