What is UVA Light
UVA light, also known as ultraviolet A light, is a category of ultraviolet (UV) light that falls within the longer wavelength range. It is one of the three categories of UV light, alongside UVB and UVC. UVA light has a wavelength ranging from 320nm to 400nm, making it the longest wavelength among the three categories.

UVA light is commonly referred to as “black light” and is utilized in various applications. It is often used for lighting effects, such as in clubs or stage performances. Additionally, UVA light is employed in tanning beds and can be used for medical purposes, such as treating fungal or bacterial infections.
In the context of horticulture, UVA light can play a beneficial role in plant growth. It has been found to contribute to the overall potency and quality of flowers. For growers looking to incorporate UVA light into their setups, there are specific LED grow lights available, such as the HLG 30 Watt UVA Supplement LED Grow Light. This light can be added as a supplemental bar light to provide the desired UVA spectrum to enhance plant growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Safest UV Protection
Choose sunglasses that have a UV400 rating or are labeled as providing “100% UV protection”. These sunglasses effectively block over 99% of UVA and UVB radiation, making them the safest option for UV protection.
What Is Safer LED or UV Light
LED bulbs are considered to be a safer option compared to UV bulbs due to their weaker rays. Prolonged exposure to LED light is considered less hazardous than excessive tanning, which can darken the skin and potentially lead to skin cancer from prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays.
What Is the Purpose of a UVA Light
The purpose of UVA light is to regulate various behaviors in organisms, such as feeding, diurnal movement, mating, and similar activities.
Are LED Lights UVA
A crucial point to note is that LED lights emit light within the UV spectrum, specifically UV-A. Therefore, it can be said that LED lights are indeed UV lights. It is important to differentiate them from traditional UV lights, which are commonly referred to as compact fluorescent lights (UV CFL) due to the bulbs they use.
