will they protect your eyes from germicidal lamp light?

If you are referring to the blue spectrum emitted by the light, the answer is yes.

My thought was yes. UVC is a short wavelength and that is why it is blocked by our atmosphere. So it is easily blocked by glasses and probably plastic as well, especially plastic that we know blocks UVA and UVB rays. Here something from Wikipedia: Ordinary glass is partially transparent to UVA but is opaque to shorter wavelengths, whereas silica or quartz glass, depending on quality, can be transparent even to vacuum UV wavelengths. Ordinary window glass passes about 90% of the light above 350 nm, but blocks over 90% of the light below 300 nm. So with resonable confidence yes they block UVC, which is what germicidal lamps put out. Watch out for your exposed skin though.

According to the manufacturer: "In the case of SCT-Orange, the tint is designed for use in the dental industry or in other industries where UV lamps are used for curing materials such as paints or inks.... * UV Absorption = >99.9% * Blue Light Absorption = >98%" http://www.uvex.us/uploadedFiles/ProductConfiguration/ProductLiterature/Uvex_Lens_Tech_Update2011.pdf

That would mean this lamp emits ultraviolet light and thus dangerous to your eyes. I don't think so.

I suspect not, they're well crafted NOT to put pressure on your eyes. However, I suspect it would prevent them from drying out anywhere near as quickly.

I'm not really sure, but you don't want to put things in the eye that are not sterile or made for the eye, lest you risk infection.

They could possibly be harmful as they are ultraviolet ultraviolet rays can damage the skin over time but they are eco-friendly because they are also LEDs which used very little energy

They are ventilated by slits in the yellow area. I do not know how well they would work for your purpose. They are, by no means, a gas mask. What I have used them for is when I am routing. I rout by hand and sawdust is flying all over. They protect my eyes very well.

They should be very good for either. I have used mine mostly outdoors, when the light is low.

I don't think you need protection if you aren't looking at them straight on. They are very bright only if you are close and right in front of the beam.

Yes, but their so low light you wouldn't want them on anything but high. Mines in a touch lamp right now. Kinda annoying, having to touch it three times to get a usable light. I feel like I'm OCD.

not sure on the exact UV protection rating- They are up at our cabin 4 hours away so I can check on them, but they are a dark smoke tint and protect great against the sun- Since I had lasik eye surgery my eyes are very sensitive to the sun and they work great0 the best is how they keep the dust out without fogging- I actually bought 5 pairs just to have for everyone that rides with us!!

Yes,they offer UV protection,but I am not sure of the protection level. Hope that helps

No. Like ultraviolet light, infrared light has a different wave frequency that is damaging to vision if exposed to for long periods of time. You should always wear protective goggles when using the infrared bulb or using tanning beds.

Absolutely not. It enhances the glare from the street lights, if anything it's more dangerous when wearing them

No. They will block direct sunlight, but not all of the light. You probably want black out blinds for complete darkness.

I use them indoors in lamps. I would think, if the lanterns are enclosed, it wouldn't be a problem.

Yes. There is some UV protector on them. They will still yellow eventually though.

I think they will work well. I haven't used them for riding yet. I do ride ATV's so I think they will work. I bought them to block out light when I went to eye DR.
