Yup, and the paper I linked has some detailed analysis of some scenarios. In some cases (particularly bad mercury vapor lamps), it can produce dangerously high ozone levels (50x EPA safe working limits).

In others, no foreseeable issues even if run 24x7.

So, uh, maybe don’t buy cheapo units off Amazon unless you have some way to see/test what they’re doing.
