Hello growers

Recently planned to add uva or uvb light for my small tent (2.62x2.62 foot) and I ask myself is the lamp is dangerous only when the skin is exposed ?
I mean if Im nearby the tent like 1foot but no skin exposure, is their any risk ?

It is recommended to avoid uvb exposure without protection. Best to be able to turn off the uv to work.

Even the uvb in a phillips 315 cmh bulb was giving me a bit of sunburn if i was under a while. If you are putting like 15% of total wattage thats a lot more intense.
