Hideaway strobe lights are small and concealed warning lights that are designed to fit inside the already installed lenses of emergency vehicles.

Cover up: Wear long pants and long sleeves when working in the sun. There are now lightweight fabrics that are cool yet provide good UV protection.

Another warning: there are many common medications that increase an individual’s photosensitivity and a resultant susceptibility to UV-related burns. Review all your medications with your pharmacist or physician to determine whether any increased risk for UV-induced damage is associated with your medication.

Fiber optics lighting can be incorporated into any multisensory room, whether that’s at home, school, or a care facility. You can even incorporate sensory fiber optics into a sensory corner, for example, by mounting a fiber optic wall cascade in the corner or installing our fiber optic corner shower.

Anybody can enjoy LED fiber optics, however our sensory fiber optics products are specifically designed for special populations with sensory challenges. We have a range of fiber optics lighting items that provide beneficial sensory stimulation for individuals with ASD, sensory processing disorder, Dementia, and other cognitive difficulties.

Sensory fiber optic products, such as fiber optic sensory lights, create a fabulous visual effect while being tactile and safe to touch.

UV, a form of nonionizing radiation, is generally divided into three classes based on wavelength: UV-A, with a wavelength of 315 to 400 nm (a black light, for example); UV-B, with a wavelength from 280 to 314 nm (eurythermal), prevalent in sunlight; and UV-C, with a wavelength from 180 to 280 nm (germicidal), such as the germicidal lamps found in biosafety cabinets (BSCs), laminar flow hoods, and large commercial air handler units. Sunlight is a major source of UV-A and UV-B light. UV-C is almost never observed in nature because it is absorbed completely in the atmosphere before reaching the Earth’s surface.

Experia’s fiber optic sensory lights are made in the USA using the latest LED technology, so there’s no need to change lamps. Our sensory fiber optics appeal to all ages and abilities as no electricity is present in any fiber optic product, meaning they are inherently safe to use and touch. As a result, these fiber optic sensory lights are not only great for visual stimulation, but they are also great for tactile stimulation.

Safety glasses that protect from laboratory-generated UV radiation must be stamped with ANSI Z87.1. It is important to note that polycarbonate safety glasses will not protect from high-radiant UV energy sources such as torch cutting, welding, or lasers. Specialized safety glasses are required for safe operation of these devices.

Our superactive sensory fiber optic products transition from color to color, which encourages visual tracking and color recognition. The user can even control the colors via a wireless controller. This can benefit users who want to have control over their environment and can strengthen fine motor skills and understanding of cause and effect.

Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher: Sunscreens labeled as “broad spectrum” protect against both UV-A and UV-B radiation. Apply the sunscreen properly and often: Almost all sunscreens require reapplication for effective protection throughout the day.

An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other.

UV burns to the eye are often described as a “sand in the eye” feeling and are often reported to be very painful. One should never work in a BSC with the UV lamps on, and the UV lamps should not be on when the room is occupied.

Fiber optic sensory lights are a great way to enhance a sensory space, and there are so many colors, shapes, and sizes to choose from, including our fiber optic carpet, fiber optic softie, and many more!

They are a staple in any sensory space due to their versatility, durability, and the benefits they deliver for those with sensory challenges.

The hazards of UV light from sunlight are well publicized. However, UV light sources are also found in the workplace, including labs, mechanical rooms, and shops. Sources include BSCs, certain types of handheld light sources, transilluminators, crosslinkers, and laboratory instruments such as spectrophotometers. According to the Health Physics Society: “Accidental UV overexposure can injure unaware victims due to the fact UV [light] is invisible and does not produce an immediate reaction.… Reported UV accident scenarios often involve work near UV [light] sources with protective coverings removed, cracked, or fallen off. Depending on the intensity of the UV [light] source and length of exposure, an accident victim may end up with a lost-time injury even though totally unaware of the hazardous condition.”1

In the United States, occupational exposure guidelines for UV radiation have been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.2 Handheld meters for measuring UV radiation are commercially available, but expert advice from a qualified industrial hygienist or health physicist is recommended to ensure selection of the correct detector and diffuser for the UV wavelengths emitted by the source.

Fiber optic lights are truly mesmerizing and will easily capture the attention of its users. This is calming in itself and can soothe individuals experiencing restlessness, anxiety, or sensory overload. A calming environment can also help to encourage individuals with ASD to communicate.

Wear a hat: A hat with at least a 2- to 3-inch brim all around is ideal because it protects areas often exposed to the sun, such as the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.

UV is the initialism for ultraviolet light. UV light is a small band on the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and X-rays. Sunlight is our largest source of UV light. However, UV light is important in research, medical, and indoor air quality applications. UV light equipment in biological safety cabinets, germicidal lamps, transluminators, and Wood’s lamps can all have harmful effects.

Limit direct sun exposure during midday: UV rays are most intense during the middle of the day, usually between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If possible, schedule outdoor work in the early morning and late afternoon instead.

UV germicidal lamps, such as in BSCs and HVAC air handlers, are designed to emit UV-C radiation because of its ability to kill bacteria and molds. Welding operations associated with maintenance activities also produce UV-C. Overexposure to UV-C can cause corneal burns, commonly termed welder’s flash.

Transilluminators or UV light boxes are used for visualization of DNA on gels. They typically look like flat boxes with glass tops and UV lamps inside. The glass top allows the light to shine on the gel, causing the DNA to “glow,” which potentially exposes the user. To reduce risk of injury, most models today come equipped with a shield to block the UV light. For older models, install after-market shields rated for UV light to provide protection. Check the UV shields/cover regularly for cracks or other damage.

Control access to rooms with open source transilluminators and post a warning sign indicating face and other skin protection is needed to enter when a transilluminator is in use. The protection required is standard laboratory apparel including a fully buttoned lab coat, gloves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. In addition to the standard lab attire, a polycarbonate face shield labeled for UV protection (as opposed to just glasses/goggles) is needed to protect the eyes and face and prevent facial burns. In addition, lab workers should take care to prevent gaps in clothing that will expose the skin, such as around the neck and wrists.

Exposure to sunlight can be a concern for anyone working in outdoor locations. The American Cancer Society3 offers the guidance summarized below to help prevent skin cancer:

Most of the light rays are close to parallel to one another (with a maximum angle of about 0.5 degrees). We call such parallel light rays collimated.
