I was thinking of making a new UV exposure box. Got rid of my old one years ago when I was in a down sizing mood. Been looking for UV bulb sources. I think my old unit used F15T8BL tubes but not sure of the number. Looking on ebay I see a lot of low cost nail curing lamps and nail curing units. One add has 4 9W U shaped CF style UV lamps for $8.49 (item # 310199835791). Then you can get an entire nail unit for about $35 and get 4 bulbs, balasts and lamp sockets. I think 4 bulbs would make a nice 5 x7 or 6x8 exposure unit. Has anyone ever tried these bulbs or one of the units on PCB resist? I was thinking of using an array of UV led's but this may be easier and provide more power. Craig
