Re: UV Light Source for Exposing PCB's

You may be able to get uv lamps from catering suppliers as we use them in uv
fly killers.

I guess the other obvious place to look for these lamps is the supplier
you
use to purchase other PCB-making goods (board, developer, etc.). The
suppliers I use in the UK for such materials (RS Components, Farnel, Rapid
Electronics...) sell suitable lamps, and complete exposure units designed
for the job too.

Hi John,

What you want is called a "germicidal lamp". It is a clear glass
fluorescent lamp. Mine is about 14 inches long. I bought it and a
holder for about $20 (quite some time ago). Ask for one at an
electrical supply house.

I do not have a UV light source. I didn't buy one as I didn't want
to spend the money. Some of you have told me that you made a light
box. What types of lights/lamps work for exposure? I saw somewhere
that a blacklight works. Is this true?

<SNIP>
So please, if you could help me build a UV light source to expose
small PCB's, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
