Just thought You would like to know. I bought one of these UV LEDs
out of curiosity, along with many other non-curious stuff, and it
does perform as stated on that magazine.
In my case I made just a small 2cm x 2cm exposure and it turn out
great. If I ever consider building an UV exposure unit, it will be
with UV LEDs.
Make sure their wavelength falls in your photo resistivity product.
