[alt-photo] Re: LED exposure lights

[Nelson Mark]

Harry,

Good question and I think there is some discussion on this in the archives, but mostly speculation.  I have done some web searches and there are LED lights for UV that are very narrow in spectrum range and tuned to very specific UV values.  They are still expensive, but that may change in the future.  I'm not sure that they put out enough light though.  Some day I'd like to get a bulb and test it.

Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson
