I got a 380nm 10W LED. I haven't tried it yet.

You can get a 100W one for "only" $999.99 ;)

I was going to try it for curing UV glue and ink, but it would probably do good
for photoresist too.

An array of 1W LEDs could be an option too.

Do not stare at these when illuminated. It could cause photopolymerisation
(cloudiness) in the eye.
