@hi_cial @cwebber As far as I can tell they never fully confirmed what happened, but speculation was that they picked up UV-C lights (used for sterilizing germs, cheap at that point in China because they were heavily bought for COVID) instead of UV-A (typical safe uv lighting). If that's the case, technically it was infinitely brighter in that very dangerous spectrum than the sun, as one of the things the ozone layer does is filter out all of the sun's UV-C before it reaches the surface.
