All fluorescent lamps emit some UV. Typical fluorescent lamps, including CFLs, which consumers would encounter, emit very low levels of UV. In order to measure any UV radiation from these lamps, very sensitive measuring equipment must be used.
What type of light bulb gives off UV rays?
Incandescent Bulbs
Incandescent light bulbs, the most commonly used light bulbs in homes, give off small amounts of UV light. The UV light emitted by these bulbs is so small that it's impossible for human health to be affected in any noticeable way.
Is fluorescent light and UV light the same?
As mentioned above, fluorescent tubes use the same technology to create ultraviolet radiation as the UVC bulbs, but they use different phosphors to convert that UV radiation to visible light. The phosphors absorb the UV, making them safe, and emit visible light.
