Ah nice, their data sheet has a spectrum. Kind of odd that they don't market the "we filter out the harmful parts" feature more prominently.

Kinda like advertising "Asbestos-Free Cereal" isn't it? If someone was marketing a product to me and they were super insistent about how super duper safe it was I would probably start getting suspicious

  • UV rightfully raises concerns about skin damage, highlighting that they're careful about excluding the harmful parts would be helpful for customers who either know just enough to think "UV bad" or to those who wonder how narrow their filters are.

    Imo a better analogy would be selling a circular saw with a safety mechanism and hiding the latter in the specsheet.

Many manufacturers refuse to post third party spectral assays detailing safety and power output, it's a big problem.
