Yeah I saw a lamp for this and it had a proximity sensor to prevent overexposure. There's no way I'm buying a lamp that needs that to be safe. Especially if it's expensive and only lasts a year or two.

I am not convinced that far-UVC is safe for the skin and eyes. I suspect it will cause red spots on skin.

I would rather use it in an enclosed apparatus that has a fan to change its air, but only while measuring the ozone level sensitively.
