I believe, so, substitution reactions with Cl2 or Br2 utilise UV Light, correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah they do - its because the reaction requires energy to overcome the Cl2 and Br2 bonds

I'd argue that it's technically wrong to say UV catalysed because the UV is consumed in the reaction. It's more accurate to describe it as UV activated/mediated.
