I was wondering whether long term exposure to the ultraviolet light generated by
HID Lights is
a problem both in and out of the water even if you don't look directly into the
light. Would a dive
mask that blocks ultraviolet light be a good idea? Does one exist or can it
easily be made.  I was
also concerned about breaking the light head and exposing the diver to the
elevated voltages
that the bulb runs on.

Thank you,

John Robinson

p.s. Does anyone know the specs for ultaviolet emissions from the HID and what
acceptable levels are
for both short and long term exposure (a few seconds to a few decades).
