hps cermic bulbs real red and focusing uv out

I want to get ideally 600-670nm the most out of that for health benefits not growing plants.



this bulb has a great spectrum. My question is there anyway to block out the remaining uva that a a health concern. I know the bulbs have special coating to block uvc and the glass itself in the bulb should block uvb but what about Uva? I was thinking is there a way to dim it to give it a warmer temperature focusing more red and orange and less uv? I know they can only be dimmed 50% but can hps cermic bulbs be dimmed and what effect does it have on color temperature? What other ways are there to block uv ideas?

thanks

yup, that is really easy, everyday common glass both normal and tempered will block most UV. If you want to get rid of the rest or the UV, there is UV resistant coated glass that any glass store can get you.
