Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: buying LED's for a exposure box

I think it just does not matter that much. As noted earlier, I can SEE a
difference on the exposed laminate, but this does not influence the
result after etching. It seems to me that the resist ist quite forgiving
here, well, at least with the Ordyl Alpha 900 I'm using this seesm to be
the case.

The only reason why I would want to change something if at all is to
have a bigger area (more leds I'm currently limitte to 160x100 cm sized
boards) and a higher density (currently using a 20cm grid) to shorten
the exposure time. However, the latter really is not important as I'm
exposing only one minute with the current setup.
