UVA rays are exactly the ones you want to avoid. That is the stuff that gets filtered out by the Van Allan belts and , over time, lethal.

Uv radiation is VERY hard on the eyes and the rest of the body as well.

Now who'da thought the placing yourself with in touching distance of UVA lights could be a health risk

Seems this one's a no-brainer to me.

That might be true that the UV rays could be so hard for the eyes but in our skins it might be different. If it is already intense then, it could be risky for the skin DNA.
