It’s known that they used (labeled) disinfectant-grade UV-C lamps as party lighting.

100% someone set up lights that they thought looked cool because they were blue and didn't realize that they were uv lamps.

Red wouldn't be great either. Or brown. Or yellow. If you use the blue everybody thinks you're making a commercial for feminine hygiene products

Oh my god, I was thinking it was something more complex like "oh these UV lights used in entertainment are meant to be paired with xyz phosphor to give such-and-such cool effect" and they missed a step, not "they just used biomedical disinfection lamps".

Is it or are the articles just illustrated with photographs from the 2017 incident?

e: This is a low‐pressure mercury lamp all right, with no phosphor and no Wood’s glass.

To be fair, if you had to be around a bunch of NFT enthusiasts you'd probably want plenty of disinfectant around too.

and then there's discussion about how when they filmed one of the Blade movies they did the same thing to themselves

UVC doesn’t destroy the retina because it doesn’t reach the retina.

It just scrambles the DNA in the top layers of your cornea, and the affected cells commit suicide.

It is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Yeah, it's either the disinfectant UV thing (most likely, especially since the same thing apparently happened in Hong Kong a couple years ago) OR they were using HMI lights (think a welding arc in a box) without bothering to put a lens on them. Or both. Either is incredibly lazy and stupid.

Maybe someone had a trump-quality galaxy brain idea of “if we run these disinfectant lights, it’ll cut down on Covid/other viruses spread”.

It’s actually a cool circumstance that someone gathered the last remaining holdouts of the profoundly moronic NFT grift and invited them all into one place to shine UV lasers directly into their corneas until they were in agony and possibly also gave them skin cancer. It really endcaps things properly
