  They vary, but all intended for household, commercial and general
purpose lighting have less UV than an equivalent amount of daylight that
has passed through a glass window.  Ones of color temp. 3500K or more have
even less UV because one of the phosphor components utilizes some of the
UV of wavelengths too long for most fluorescent lamp phosphors to utilize
- those CFLs even have UV content about as low as that of many
incandescents.
