I made a UV lightbox with a 125Watt HID lamp (HPR-125) 24" from the glass,
and in a cylindrical parabolic reflector (lamp lays horizontal). 90%+ exposure
happens in 30secs, and i found a good optimum to use is 90secs for
pre-coated negative pcb. The pcb is held against the glass by the lid
that has a layer of sponge.
Without the reflector and beam collimation, you'll need a bigger globe
for the same exposure time.
