Does this thing protect against UV ?

It provides a little shade and I would assume the covering blocks UV rays but I'm not 100% on that.

No. It is highly susceptible to UV light. I take it down every year and store it in a Rubbermaid tote and it lasts about 3 deer seasons.

Not sure about the UV protection but we had my 1yr old son under it at the beach and he was fine. I'm 6 feet tall and had plenty of room to stretch out. We had 2 adults and 2 kids underneath it and were comfortable.

Hi! Yes this is small as well. I recommend you to look on uv-blocker.com they have bigger and better uv protection umbrellas �

No it does not. Water and air pass through, it provides about 90% uv protection and shade.

I don't specifically know about the UPF rating but it definitely provides UV protection. I do outdoor shows and have to stand in the sun for many hours. I purchased this umbrella for this purpose and it works very well. Because it's reflective, it also provides some relief from the heat on a very warm day.

Not sure if the basics have UV protection. You would need to use outdoor rated screws and broads.

It will block UV but I don't know about blue light. You cut it to fit screen.

Here is the response from LensDirect.com: Yes they do provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Yes, this does have UV protection. We bought it for our hot tub cover, and it certainly keeps it shiny and supple. I use it in my vehicle on the dash, doors, & leather seats. We have been very pleased with this product! But...I have not used it on fabric.

No because there is no UV protection in product description or advertised as such

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've thrown away the boxes they came in, but I remember lots of symbols and remarks about the product on the outside of the box. However, I don't remember about UV protector.

I never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....

this is a great cover and will protect from the uv rays and due to light color will stay reasonably cool..

You would have to ask the manufacturer. They claim to block the UV rays but I am no expert and certainly not the right person to answer this for you. I would hope that they were not falsely advertising that feature, but I am going to assume at the very least that they help regardless.

Yes... It isn't as tight with the UV filter on, but it does work... I just leave my filter on and it does fine... every once and awhile it will fall off, so be sure it is attached by the cord! :-).
