Any idea how much UV, compared to sunlight?
I live in a house that is almost entirely lit by those "curly-Q"
fluorescents that fit where an incandescent bulb would go.
So that raises another question: how much, if any, of the UV from a
household fluorescent bulb would be filtered out by a glass ceiling shade?
