Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

    How on earth do you accidentally buy medical grade lighting? Like it must have been really expensive and no one at any point that “why are these light bulbs so expensive”. Also, why didn’t the shipping company think it was weird that a hospitality venue they wanted hundreds and hundreds of medical decontamination lights?

    And presumably electricians fitted them and their non-standard design didn’t raise any eyebrows?

    Literally everyone involved in this story is a massive idiot.

      UV-c lights are actually much cheaper than UV black lights as they don’t require the phosphor coating required to block the harmful frequencies. On top of that there was a flood of UV-c bulbs onto the market from the pandemic.

      What really should have tipped them off that they are using bulbs is that UV-c bulbs emit a more blue color whereas black lights emit a purple color. Or the wierd smell emitting from the ozone coming off the bulbs.

        Yep, UV-C LEDs are insanely cheap. I bought dozens on eBay a few years ago.

      IKR? If anyone would have a good understanding of the value of things, it would be NFT buyers

      We’re talking about people who have absurd amounts of money. I know a rich guy and he doesn’t even blink at spending $10k+ on some things. It’s just inconsequential.
