Default yellow cfl light bulb for my dark room

Is this CFL yellow light bulb safe to use in my dark room? I Just want to be on the safe side. It dosen't say anything about being uv safe. It saids its a bug light.

I used one of those before with no problem

I broke mine and replaced it with a red "party bulb" which also works...

Would the yellow curly-fry style bug light be the same?

That smooth one has a curly or looped element in it. The smooth cover might have the yellow tint.

Check this site out for the covers that go over your 48" fluorescent bulbs. These work great and they are cheaper then screen printing supply stores.

We have a curly one that the glass is tinted--but I'm saving my pennies for the UV filters for a couple of real shop lights.

Not enough light in the screen room==increased chance of crappy screens
