Do halogen lamps shine in the UV spectrum?

Question

Electronics

I don’t know how appropriate the question on the Toaster is, but Google closed their service, and I don’t trust mail.ru. Actually, the question is in the title. The turtle needs a source of light / heat, for which halogens were purchased without a ceiling (they put them in headlights) linear for spotlights and one with a ceiling. The latter has a UV filter, which is of interest, but I did not find any information on the uv part of the halogen spectrum. The question is: what is the wavelength (is it possible to use them for local surface disinfection; is it safe to turn on a naked light bulb for a turtle) and do low-voltage halogens heat well?

Answer 1

Halogen lamps give very little ultraviolet light - their spectrum corresponds to a black body with T \u003d 2800-3000. The share of UV-A (380-313 nm) is about 1% of the total visible radiation. Even less - actinic ultraviolet with a wavelength shorter than 310 nm (250 nm - 0.01% of the total visible radiation). Certainly they are not suitable for surface disinfection.
It is better not to turn on a bare bulb for reasons of fire and burn safety - the surface of the bulb has a temperature of 600-1000 ° C. So glass should be protected.
