Yeah, I think they found some lamps they thought would look cool for the club scene, turns out they were UV decontamination lamps?
A quick google isn't turning anything up for me either.
It's especially baffling if you watch the scene, they're the exact blue colour films use to show "We are using UV". When I was watching the film (before I heard about this) I assumed they were UV lamps, thought it was a plot point, thought the mutant vampire was acting all sick looking because of the UV, and couldn't understand why the other vampires were fine.

Made the film very confusing.

Nah, those reports were wrong

What we know so far

The Thai navy Seals have confirmed that eight boys have been rescued from the Tham Luang cave complex in Northern Thailand, after two separate rescue operations. A further four boys were rescued on Monday after four were rescued on Sunday.
A further four boys and their coach Ekapol Chantawong remain in the cave. The identities of the rescued boys have not been confirmed.
Thai public television broadcast live video of a medivac helicopters landing close to a hospital in the city of Chiang Rai. They were believed to be ferrying the rescued boys.
Thai prime minister, Prayut Chan-O-Cha has delayed a planned visit to the site so as not to disruption the rescue operation. He had been due at the site at 6pm but is remaining at nearby Chiang Rai where the rescued boys are being treated in hospital.
The operation to extract more of the boys began on Monday at 11am (5am BST). The same divers who managed to rescue four boys on Sunday were involved. Officials said that conditions were as good as they were on Sunday and that rain yesterday did not affect water levels inside the cave.
The threat of monsoon rains re-flooding the cave is not as acute as previously feared, according to forecasters. Rain has fallen away from the cave entrance today and the chance of rain over the next two days is considered low.
The authorities complained about some of yesterday’s media coverage, saying a drone was flown above the operation. They also claimed media outlets listened to police radio reports.
The rescued boy are being kept in isolation in the hospital to avoid the risk of infection. Medics are considering whether to allow their parents to see them through a glass door.
The four boys rescued on Sunday have asked to eat a pad krapow. The dish is a favourite comfort food made with Thai basil.

Pad krapow is a good choice.

I hope the rest of the operation goes as well as the first two stages. Putting the kids in isolation seems pretty severe, but I guess the concern is that starvation has weakened their immune systems?

I also read that the parents haven't been informed yet of who was taken out and who is still in the cave. They won't say anything until all the kids and the coach are out.

I can see why but holy smokes that would be insanely nerve wracking as a parent to not know if they're out yet or not.

This light reminds me of the story about how they (temporarily) blinded a bunch of cast and crew during the filming of Blade 2 by misusing UV lights. I can't find any articles on it, so I'm pretty sure I heard it on a podcast with either Ron Perlman or Guillermo Del Toro.
Yeah, they were like soviet czech-era UV lights and the doctor basically couldn't stop swearing at them about how loving dumb they all were. Medical advice was "go home and lay in the dark, totally dark, no lights at all you loving moron and hope that once your eyes' sunburns peel off you can still see. 50/50 at best and I honestly don't know which I'm hoping for because you're that stupid. Idiot."

He'll turn them into human bullets for mini-Hyperloop aka pneumatic tubes.

"In 1812, George Medhurst first proposed, but never implemented, blowing passenger carriages through a tunnel"
"In 1861, the London Pneumatic Despatch Company built a system large enough to move a person, although it was intended for parcels. The inauguration of the new Holborn Station on 10 October 1865 was marked by having the Duke of Buckingham, the chairman, and some company directors blown through the tube to Euston (a five-minute trip)."

There was briefly a pneumatic subway running under NYC, but they only ever built 300 feet of tunnel and 1 station so it was more of an amusement ride than a means of transportation.

quote:

Executive Summary
​On the afternoon of March 31, 2016, the passenger vessel Adventure Hornblower was attempting to dock at the Navy Pier in downtown San Diego, California, following a whale-watching excursion. As the vessel made its approach to the pier, its bow unexpectedly swung to starboard and allided with the pier’s passenger embarkation dock. The Adventure Hornblower then accelerated forward until it struck the seawall at the foot of the pier. Eight passengers sustained minor injuries in the accident. The allision caused nearly $1.06 million in damage to the vessel, pier, and seawall.


Probable Cause
​The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the allision of the Adventure Hornblower with the Navy Pier and the downtown San Diego seawall was a failure of the port transmission to disengage from the forward propulsion position due to the operating company’s lack of adherence to the transmission manufacturer’s recommended periodic maintenance schedule and the lack of routine maintenance and upkeep of the propulsion system’s equipment. Contributing to the accident was the lack of instrumentation to provide positive indication of thrust direction or an alarm to indicate the propulsion control system was not responding properly to the captain’s commands.
