From my understanding some LED lights will put out UVA and UVB light, which will cause skin damage in high amounts. That being said, I don't believe LED lights put out enough of it to be harmful to you in a grow tent setting. I would be more concerned with your eyes as the intensity of the light as well as the blue light will damage your eyes if exposed long enough.
If you are really concerned, just turn the dimmer down to the lowest level while working in the tent. I try to not look in the tent or work when the light intensity is 100% and I find no issue with my eyes or skin when the light is dimmed as far as it can go.
Hope this helps and happy growing friend! š

I agree with FattyMcCoy here... the sun is much more of a danger!

How much time are you spending in there?
You are fine brother. No worries at all. The sun is much worse, I recommend long sleeves outside for sure

You would need skin protection if you are using IR or UV along with the eye protection. Visible light at these levels will not cause skin damage.

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So Iām in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. Iām curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. Iām running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlingsSeeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?

Hight ProblemsIāve got 3 plants in my tent, but theyāre all different heights. To compensate, Iāve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.
