Newborn baby & T5

[acabgd]

Hello,
We have a newborn baby and we also have a tank with ATI T5 6-bulb fixture. There is some light spillage and we sometimes bring the baby in the vicinity of the tank.

He's not really next to it, but there is some light that falls onto his face/eyes.

Does anyone know if this could be a problem for his eyes? We're using B+ and C+ bulbs.

When my kids were very small, I put a 'curtain' over the front of my light hood so that they could not look directly up into the bulbs. Once they got tall enough, and aware enough to not do it, I removed the curtain.

Thanks for your reply. Good idea, I might need to do the same. I work from home and my tank is next to my desk. If I take the little one in my arms he's looking drectly into the lights, which I suppose is not that good. I don't have actinic/UV lights, yet the T5s pack a punch...
