365nm UV Lamp for enhanced visualization in dermatology - IBOOLO
IBOOLO 12W 365nm UV lamp delivers optimized illumination for diagnosing bacterial, and fungal infections and skin pigment disorders and enhances visualization of skin conditions like tinea capitis.
Using a 365nm UV Lamp for Unique Skin Visualization
Detecting some skin conditions can be difficult under normal lighting. But ultraviolet light reveals things invisible to the naked eye. In particular, UV at 365 nanometers wavelength from a 365nm UV lamp provides unique visualization capabilities leveraging properties of skin structures. Read on to understand how a specialized 365nm UV lamp aids dermatological analysis.
What is the 365nm UV light from a 365nm UV lamp used for?
A 365nm UV lamp emitting ultraviolet light at 365 nanometer wavelength has become an important tool for enhanced visualization of bacterial, fungal, and other microbiological components associated with certain skin disorders.
When the 365nm wavelength UV light from a 365nm UV lamp excites certain substances like porphyrins inherently present in bacteria and fungi colonies, they exhibit a distinct bright fluorescence not seen under standard lighting. This signal contrasts sharply against healthy areas of skin when viewed under a 365nm UV lamp.
Doctors have long used 365nm UV lamps to better detect conditions like acne vulgaris, seborrhoeic dermatitis, erythrasma infections, and ringworm. Now affordable at-home models of 365nm UV lamps allow people to periodically self-screen problem areas between office visits for earlier concern detection.
Is 365 nm UV from a 365nm UV lamp harmful to humans?
The 365nm UV range from a 365nm UV lamp falls into the safer UV-A spectrum, unlike more damaging shorter wavelength UV-B and UV-C light. However, experts still recommend prudent exposure limits with 365nm illumination from a 365nm UV lamp just as with normal sunlight. Following device guidelines for a 365nm UV lamp to only illuminate small skin areas briefly during analysis prevents unnecessary exposure risk.
It's also advisable to wear UV-filtering glasses if examining another person's skin at length using a 365nm UV lamp. Smartphone camera sensors also typically include IR/UV filtering and aren't subject to similar eye safety constraints when taking magnified photos under the 365nm light from a 365nm UV lamp.
Is 365nm light from a 365nm UV lamp safe for eyes?
Direct, prolonged 365nm UV exposure from a 365nm UV lamp carries retinal damage risk just like staring at the sun. But brief examination periods of skin areas under a 365nm UV lamp generally do not pose any eye threat given a few feet of separation distance from the 365nm UV lamp source based on output intensity decay over distance per the inverse square law of light propagation physics.
It's still wise to avoid staring into the illumination area of a 365nm UV lamp or move very close to someone else's skin being examined under a 365nm UV lamp. Using camera magnification rather than peering closely keeps eyes comfortably out of harm's way when using a 365nm UV lamp.
Is 365nm from a 365nm UV lamp UVA or UVB?
Light spectrum wavelengths from 315nm to 400nm fall into the UVA classification, whereas UVB ranges from 280nm to 315nm. Therefore, at 365nm wavelength, emissions from 365nm UV lamps clearly qualify as UVA light. And while excessive exposure to any UV still demands caution, UVA wavelengths from a 365nm UV lamp are far less damaging than shorter wavelength UVB or UVC bands.
Modern 365nm UV lamps provide a safe method for enhanced visualization of bacterial and fungal skin components when used prudently. periodic screening with a 365nm UV lamp at home gives you unique insight into your skin's health between dermatological visits for earlier issue detection. So take advantage of 365nm UV lamp technology for proactive self-care.

Clinical Applications
The Wood's lamp is used to identify the extent of pigmented or depigmented patches and to detect fluorescence. Normal healthy skin is slightly blue but shows white spots where there is thickened skin, yellow where it is oily, and purple spots where it is dehydrated. Clothing lint often shines bright white.
What Makes it Unique
Woods lamps use ultraviolet light to reveal skin abnormalities that can’t be seen with human eyes. Build with 60mm field view and no cross-infection design, this Woods lamp can be held about 10-30 cm away from the skin for detection. The examination is painless and safe.
