Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the ultraviolet range, which is shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays. UVA rays from the sun reach the Earth's surface and are the main cause of tanning and skin aging, including wrinkles. UVA lamps are the main types of lamps used in tanning beds. Installing UV lights in your air conditioning system is simple, although most people should leave it to a professional.

With proper installation and maintenance, these fixtures can help reduce mold growth and improve indoor air quality.
