This is a UVB correction, maybe just a UVA blacklight (for use in iPhone resin glue repairs).
UVB, according to the CDC, can sterilize any surface in less than 30 seconds. That's far better than any mask, which only captures at best or just allows the passage of pathogens.
With this, the tables have turned. I can go into any store, without a mask, and blame others for killing grandma!
And if they have a problem with it, there is a STROBE function! I can turn it on and say "You want me to turn it off, I want it on. With the strobe, it is on 50% of the time and off 50% of the time. This is called a compromise."
Meanwhile they now have to deal with a flashing strobe giving them conniptions!
At the very least, I want to show the hypocrisy of these people on a power trip using these masks. Now I can power trip on them, and they can see how it feels!
Imma burn some vampires!
Edit: It might not put out much UVB at all. Gonna have to test it on a banana.
So far, it is possible my UV light isn't what was advertised... I need to test and see if it puts out anything other than UVA.
Either way, I didn't get the thing because it worked super well as a germicidal, I got it to screw with Faucists. Even if it doesn't do as advertised, it does a hell of a lot more than a mask would to kill pathogens, that's for sure.
UVB in isolation for long durations may eventually be an issue for some yes, that's how the whole MUH SUN CAUSES CANCER meme started with stupid studies using artificial UVB light.
If you're smart, you'll limit your duration exposure say 15-20 min per day, and you'll include red light as well at the very least.
For myself as soon as the lockdown crap started 1 year ago I got the ExoTerra reptile UVB bulbs and leveraged that along with red+infrared for indoors. ALso MINIMIZE back lit blue light LED, for other reaons related to susceptibility to viral infections.
But also prioritizing full spectrum sunlight outdoors (sunbathing, no glasses, minimal clothes) as mcuh as I could.
UVA has benefits as well, it produces nitric oxide in the skin and that also boosts innate immunity. You can get more UVA starting mid morning depending on your latitude this time of year.

Edit2: It looks like my light is just a UVA blacklight. That sucks, but this study does suggest UVA does work to sterilize. Many other studies suggest differently, so I'm a little curious as to the real effects of the UVA light. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321903461_Effects_of_ultraviolet_light-emitting_diodes_UVA-LEDs_irradiation_on_Escherichia_coli_for_inactivation_of_microorganisms
You know UVB is implicated in skin cancer right?
Yeah.
I'm doing my research before I use the thing.
