Default How to tell if a UV lamp is working?

How can one safely tell if a UV lamp is working?


Is it interlocked not to come on if the box is open? Defeat the
interlock, probably just a switch on the cover then in a dark area switch
on and see if a sheet of ordinary white photo copier type paper
fluoresces. You may also see a dim blue glow. Obviously don't stare at
the tube or spend any longer than required exposed but a second or three
isn't going to hurt you.
