I would have guessed it was UV antibacterial light that's supposed to turn off by motion sensor when someone enters so it doesn't burn your retinas because it's actually much brighter than it looks, because most of the spectrum is invisible.

Insulin is injected SQ, or subcutaneously, under the skin, rather than IM, intramuscular, or IV, intravenously. It goes under the skin so that it will absorb at a rate that regulates your blood sugar, rather than dropping it rapidly. Source: I'm a type 2 diabetic. :)
