In the unlikely event you are ever in a public space and you see a blacklight display with glowing fluorescent colors, but the lights illuminating those colors are electric blue instead of deep purple, DO NOT LOOK AT THE TUBES, close your eyes immediately, turn around, shield your skin as much as possible, and get away from it.

Blacklight tubes are made of filter glass, which blocks everything except harmless UV-A (which, in a regular fluorescent tube, is blocked by the phosphor coating) and a small amount of purple visible light.

Germicidal tubes are made of quartz. Quartz is transparent to all wavelengths of light from UV-A through UV-C. The electric blue is the color of the bare mercury arc inside. You can see it. You can see it. You can see the electric arc. You can stare into the electric arc. You can worship the electric arc. You can give yourself to the electric arc. Remove your clothes and bathe in the forbidden actinic light of the electric arc. Free yourself. Give yourself to the electric arc. Show the electric arc your self. Give to the electric arc your eyes, your skin. Lie beneath the electric arc and show it you are worthy. Allow the electric arc to bathe your corneas and dermis in its glory. Let the electric arc change you. Let the electric arc change your DNA. Let the electric arc change you. Let the electric arc make you its own. Embrace the tubes and give your body to the electric arc.

for the record that lamp operates at 900⁰C and uses a fuck ton of UVC to cure glue. for some reason he felt like looking right into it without protection.

saw him blinking rapidly the rest of the day lol

in reply to @atomicthumbs's post:

a properly set up UVGI air sterilizer will have been installed with UVC meters to ensure that UVC spillover is inside safe exposure limits. things can be black and absorptive to UVC but reflective to the blue light of the electric arc.

now, that's if they've been properly set up.

the most impressive part of the movie Aliens is that everyone managed to squint the UV damage from near constant welding away. i assume this will protect me from the electric arc. which luckily i do not need to protect myself from.

this is also the color many x-ray emitters glow, as well as old mercury gas transmission tubes, which also emit xrays.
Anything electronic that glows this particular color should be avoided, even despite its sublimely pleasing beauty,

Thank you for doing an important (and super entertaining) warning about these! Arcs (and UVC) will definitely change your DNA!

Unfortunately, I can't help myself after spending 5 years in lighting, so I will ruin the magic and point out that fluorescent tubes operate in the glow discharge regime, not arc discharge. You'd want HID (car, sodium, or metal halide) lightbulbs for that.
