Unprotected gardening

Exposure to UV light from halide lamps of any size can cause temporary swelling
of your eyeballs,enough notice by people close to you.
Wear wrap arounds or shut off them off before you do any work around them.

can you state your sources?

My own experience. there are thousands of articles online about the subject of UV and eye damage.
have a look at these.

but our hids dont give off uv

er is it the MH does and the HPS doesnt (or very little).....
i cant remember now.

MH puts out a small amount hps i dont think so but its still fucking bright and can damage ur eyes so sunglasses are always a good idea, ive heard of people using MH and hps during flower as thy feel the MH puts out UV which promotes resin production
