UVA or UVB?

Hi all.

Was diagnosed back in 2017 with SCLE and was reading my hospital letters. Was interested to know which I'm more intolerant to. The middle paragraph explains it but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell please? Thanks.

Reads like it's UVA. Buy a factor 50 that covers both UVA and UVB

lupie46 thank you for the reply. I thought that but wasn't sure. I can't understand why it doesn't say about broadband UVB though.
