Direct exposure to humans, plants, animalsI know not to do this.I am wondering if (very remote chance) someone happens to see the light from far away (>20m) through a window, is that a potential health issue?Also if plants are getting *indirect light* through a doorway in another room, is that a problem, or only direct light?

Damage to inaminate materials:From some additional research I did, it seems that plastics, rubbers, paints, ?dyed fabrics?, maybe other materials may be damaged by this light.But also it would depend on how long they are exposed.|How much do I need to worry about this, in terms of the extent of damage and for what type of things, and for how long a period of exposure before it would cause serious damage to things?

But I want to use it at least a few times on some particular areas, to see what it can do - if I can get a handle on the possible safety issues.

It does seem a bit sketchy, the wording on the box and the manual both indicate that they aren't fluent in English. But hopefully it is a legit UV light bulb that works like other UV light bulbs.

Ozone generated while running:This is my biggest concern.On the box says it doesn't produce ozone, and to ventilate the room for 10min after using before entering.But the instruction manual implies that it does generate ozone - it says ozone is dangerous, and to run it in a room with doors and windows closed, and not to open until 30-40min after.But then later it also says to wait for only 10min.My question/concerns are:*Is there any way to know for sure exactly what precautions to take?*How safe is it to be in an adjacent room, if the door is closed but there's a slight crack under the door?* Is there any worry of an ozone hazard to neighbouring apartments in case there might be leakage through ceilings or floors?*What is the reason for 'keep windows closed'? What would impact of having windows to outside open if (A) windows are in an adjacent room, or (B) windows are in room with UV light operating?
