Double end HQI MH bulbs

[marki24]

Does anyone know that they produce UV rays that can damage your eyes and it is harmful for your fish as well?

well....they are supposed to be like sunlight...so im sure it would be a bad idea to look right at them

yes they do but thats why the unit that the de hqi comes with usually has a uv protective piece of glass blocking the uv rays. The single end hqi have this uv protective glass around the outer part of the bulb. So long story short dont look at a halide in the first place but especially with the uv screen off

+1- the whole reason why if your glass breaks you cant just go to a glass shop and get a piece of regular stuff cut to use in its place with a DE bulbs fixture, itll bleach your corals

i am pretty sure its just tempered glass. there are a few glass stores around that can custom cut and temper the glass for you.
