No, UV light does not help and indeed damages the DNA. According to Nasa, it's red and blue lights that chlorophyl absorbs.

Lights ensure stocky seedlings. As soon as you see the first sign of sprouting, if not before, put your seed starting tray under lights. You don't need fancy grow lights for seedlings; inexpensive cool fluorescent "shop" lights will work fine. The lights should be as close to the developing seedlings as possible.
