eli5: Why are the sun rays harmful but not rays for artificial lights?
In: 6
They are when they are UVB and UVC lights. UVA isn’t as strong, but the types of lights you see in tanning beds are UV and are still considered a cause for cancer in the same way as tanning out in the sun. You use these types of bulbs in basking lamps for reptiles and to make sure they synthesize the right nutrients, and get the heat they need.
