Does anyone know of an inexpensive 350nm UV light source for curing adhesives?

What about your EEPROM eraser? Be careful to not blind yourself fooling around with this stuff, Tom. -- Lawrence Lile Tom Deutschman <spam_OUTtomTakeThisOuTWIZBANGDESIGNS.COM> Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list <.....PICLISTKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU> 12/10/2003 08:42 AM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLISTKILLspamMITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: [OT:] 350nm light source for curing UV adhesives Does anyone know of an inexpensive 350nm UV light source for curing adhesives?

Found this statement on the Norland Products site: ---- Ultraviolet light is commonly divided into two regions. Short wave UV in the 190 to 320 nanometer range and long wave UV in the 320 to 400 nanometer range. The short wave UV is considered the most dangerous because it can easily damage the eye and can cause sun burn. No short wave UV light is emitted by any of the Norland UV light sources. Long wave UV is considered relatively safe. There have been studies that show that high intensity long wave UV and bright visible light up to 500 nanometers can cause damage to the eyes with prolonged exposure. Because Norland UV Adhesives cure so quickly, our UV lights are low to medium intensity and are extremely safe to use with minimal precautions. Do not stare directly at the light and wear UV blocking eye protection. Indirect light from these units is considered relatively harmless. ---- Ended up buying (6) F15T8BL @ $5 ea and fixtures.
