Are you sure he aquired it and was not just born that way?

Sheesh. Talk about living in glass houses.

You missed deficiency.
1 out of 4 ain't bad, I guess.

Sorry Maths & Science were my strong points in school which I left 50 years
ago

Your problem.


Nope, just try seeing if you can get anything to fluoresce using one.

You cant.



No its not with the glass used with cfls.

I quote again, your comment says, "UV doesn't get through glass".
Dead incorrect.
Not specifically about cfls.

Your problem too, 'cos of your silly claim about cfls not emitting UV.

Read and learn.

According to the European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and
Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in 2008, CFLs may pose an added
health risk due to the ultraviolet and blue light emitted. This radiation
could aggravate symptoms in people who already suffer skin conditions that
make them exceptionally sensitive to light. The light produced by some
single-envelope CFLs at distances of less than 20 cm could lead to
ultraviolet exposures approaching the current workplace limit set to protect
workers from skin and retinal damage. Industry sources claim the UV
radiation received from CFLs is too small to contribute to skin cancer and
the use of double-envelope CFLs "largely or entirely" mitigates any other
risks.[63]

A 2012 study comparing cellular health effects of CFL light and incandescent
light found statistically significant cell damage in cultures exposed to CFL
light. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of significant UVA and
UVC radiation, which the study's authors conjectured was attributable to
damage in the bulbs' internal phosphor coatings. No cellular damage was
observed following exposure to incandescent light of equivalent intensity.
The study's authors suggest that the ultraviolet exposure could be limited
by the use of "double-walled" bulbs manufactured with an additional glass
covering surrounding the phosphor-coated layer.[6

That’s why the black light UV tubes and bug zappers use quartz glass
instead.


You're just plain wrong there.

I'm 100% right about that.
Physics isn't your domain, neither is biology.
But Wikipedia is free, as you may already know.

My everyday spectacles have a coating to deter UV. So optical glass alows UV
to pass.

It is anyway.


Obvious lie. You have clearly wanked yourself completely blind.
I checked the other day. They are still around man.
You need to get extra strength lenses on your specs.
You've been rubbing the glasses on something or something. :)

Bullshit on that last.



No idea. Go there and find out, and hang yourself there on Saturday.

I order you to prepare the doll under the bed by patching up any holes, for
your trip to south pole next week.
No companion cats or dogs for you, as you may end up eating them. :))

Keep dreamin my man....you may hit with a shocker...just wait.

Never mind where, better worry about *whether*!

Yeah, that makes sense. Roddles gota be around 200 years old according to
history reports. ;-)

Are you really sticking up for Rod? I guess he'll be pleased there is one at
least :)

And a full glass light fitting will do the same job, including the $10
batten fix frosted glass balls. I suggest you buy some of those and stop
worrying.
