🧵 Flourescent Lights and UV

I've been trying to do research on Fluorescent Lights and the UVs they emit, but everything I find is contradictory with other things I find, or has barely any information to it. I've read that fluorescent produces less UV rays than incandescent, I've read that it produces more. I read that it produces so little that its impact won't be felt by either you or the items you own, and I've read that it produces a medium amount that can damage for photos and skin. I've read that the phosphor layer blocks the UV rays, and I've read that it still lets the worst ones pass through.

Is it worth just replacing all the light bulbs and tube lights with LEDs to protect my skin and photos?
