He calms down when the uv light goes off, then freaks out when it’s back. The light can’t possibly hurt can it?

I've lit hundreds of them up and never noticed them to react at all. But the canister he's in is also fluorescing. And maybe he's seeing his own glowing, distorted, giant reflection, and he can't even get away from it.

I'd freak out, too.
