How long should one wait to enter a room after this UV light has been turned off? Everyone says the light is cancerous and dangerous.

I am assuming you are joking. In case you are serious, when it is in the Ionic Breeze Machine just don't set close to it or stare/look at the bulb when it is on. Other wise in my opinion not seriously dangerous for short periods of time like walking by it in a room etc.

Hello, I bought two of these units. They work great but the light is a little bright while sleeping. Fortunately there is a button on the top of the unit that turns the UV light off. Hope this was helpful.

I do not have the manual with me currently-but I believe the light will give you a warning if something is wrong. Your best bet is to google trojan uv max for the manual and check yourself. There are other models with more "bells and whistles" on them too. Personally, I have ordered my annual uv light replacement. I will wait until the old one fails. The uv system I have is basic-only has 2 lights for monitoring, no counter on it. Good luck!

You should always wear protective classes when dealing with UV, specially when there is no oher light source, my eyes get strained when looking for scorpions in pitch black nights, however, for pet urine detection at home would be alot easier and you should be fine for a few seconds

Barbara, from what my MD has told me (he's the one who suggested I get the light lamp), it's only good to use the light box in the morning after you wake up, for about 30-45 minutes. It's not meant for use all day long in a low light environment. Hope this info helps...you may want to ask your doc about it!

The UV that is emitted by this device is contained inside the cylinder and does not come into contact with people. It kills germs and dust mites that are drawn into the cylinder by the fan that operates at a very slow speed that gives the UV enough time to kill them. Best results are obtained when it is left on 24-seven.

Make sure the label that says "remove before lighting" has been removed. Keep the button held down for 5-10 seconds and you should be good

You are not exposed to the UV light; it is tucked underneath the unit and easy to change. I got the bulb with 20% coupon at bed bath and beyond recently. When the UV light burns out, a small warning light will show.

That actually means your bulb is good. When the bulb is new it is just throwing out UV light. You can't hardly see it, even at night but the bugs sure can! Unfortunately the bulbs do not stay in the UV-emitting range for long, maybe 6 months. Fortunately they will even attract bugs well into the violet color region. This makes them good for about two years total for me. I use the auto-turn-on-at-night setting with a flat green peice of plastic (bottom of a Scotts fertilizer jug) over the top of the zapper to keep the water out but still let light through. My last zapper died when water got into the switch after only one season. That actually means your bulb is good. When the bulb is new it is just throwing out UV light.

I agree with the others that you may get a glimpse of it; it's inside the appliance. I don't believe it's exposing me to any UV light. It's the light on the front control panel that is BRIGHT (and why I covered it with black tape/paper so I can sleep)

In experience with this wonderful device, push the button in to turn it on, but the 'light' is inside and you do not need or want to see it as it will do permanent damage to your eyes! No light will turn on to indicate its' on-ness.

Usually you go to 12 hours lights on to 12 off. Keep the room completely dark during the lights off hours.

I emailed Northern Light Technologies about when and how to use the light. She responded "for light therapy the best time to use it is in the morning AFTER you wake up. You need to position the lamp at a distance of 12" and use it for 30 minutes. Your eyes need to be open and the lamp needs to be either directly in front of you or diagonally from you. Your face needs to be illuminated by the lamp. Try using it in the morning as you're having breakfast or reading the morning paper.eating breakfast or reading the paper. Hope this helps.

Regarding the "ozone" concern.....the company states the following:"No ozoneA specially designed UV-C light bulb is used so no ozone is produced. The UV-C light bulb (model LB1000) needs to be replaced every six to eight months depending on use."I personally had one and loved it. Ran smoothly!

Place the brush in without the brush cover, close the door and press the green button. You should see the ultraviolet light go on. If the area that you're in is bright it's difficult to see. Test it at night - if you don't see the DIM ultraviolet light throuth the door then definitely return it! Good luck!

Turn on when ever you use lamp. The lights get hot and it keeps the housing cool,preventing over heating. Use the gloves they offer. To prevent exposure to UV . Hopes this helps

It's best to use the light in a darker environment to see any stains. So do it in the evening and turn the lights out to get the best results and prepare yourself as it could be pretty shocking. :)
