Plus you can irreparably destroy your vision. Skin cancer always a chance. But one helluva tan! Yes I know safety precautions and all, but for now I'll leave them for the pros.

Yes, this is one of my concerns, but there are some LED grow lights with UVB tubes or bulbs on the market right now, I am wondering if this can cause any negative troubles to the growers working under this equipment.

Not true about the 380s. You can get LEDEngin 365nm on Mouser. I'm pretty sure ThorLabs makes them also. 365nm for curing are getting down in price. Lower than 365nm ones are out there too. There are UVC diodes for disinfection too.

i thought led lights didn't burn out???
It's according to the led chips and led drivers those manufacturers use . The cooling systems they use . Heat cooling system is key for led light Tech . LED chips and LED drivers are also important for led lights . Usually in order to make more profit from the led grow lights , they use cheap led chips and led drivers . Cheap led chips and bad quality led drivers make the led lights failed in very short time . Because it's hard for us to know whether the led drivers and led chips are good quality or not . Even cheap ones can last several monthes or even longer .

Have you guy heard about Area 51 , Lumigrow , Apachetech led lights out ?
Because they all use the best led chips , Cree or Oscram led chips . That's why their price is higher than those Chinese LED grow lights . Good quality led chips and led driver make sure that the led lights can last very long .
