UV Beads--The Sun Smart Mobile Phone Dangle

UV Beads was started by a science teacher who has used these beads as a teaching tool for her students. When a friend got skin cancer, she wanted to reach more people with this simple detection device.

How do they work? Well normally you can't see Ultraviolet Light--it is beyond the visible spectrum. However there are some substances that absorb UV light, and convert it to a longer wavelength, i.e. visible light. So really, we are making the invisible (UV light) visible.

Tie one on your body, umbrella, baby stroller, surfboard, golf bag, tennis bag, purse; anywhere that could remind you to protect your skin in the sun.

• Normally the beads are just white. But when you expose them to Ultra Violet light--sunlight is fine--they change colour.
• The beads are very sensitive to UV light, and once they have changed colour, they take a while to go back to their white state.
• There are five different colours, blue, purple, yellow, orange and red.

• Design in Japan
