    Are you serious, they did not use proper filters to block the really harmful UV? One can only hope that they get sued to shit.

      I saw a case of this in a documentary, a club installed ‘pretty’ powder blue UVC lights everywhere and it crisped up the attendees. The UVC part of the light doesn’t register to your eyes, so your pupils stay wide open and the designers added tons of it because it wasn’t that bright.

      They used the wrong type of bulb. Ordinarily the bulb will be made of a UV blocking glass, and not be quartz based. I think? So it’s not usually the shroud that stops UV except in cases of Halogen bulbs. These would be CFL without any shield except perhaps a cage to protect against things thrown.

            I’m assuming it’s not a bathroom and just a display thing. I don’t know why, but they have an obsession with toilets and the stuff in them. They made a sewer based mobile game with the monkeys before. It makes the fact people are that into them even more confusing.
