[alt-photo] UV Point Light Source

[Peter Friedrichsen]

I am imaging onto some lumpy surfaces and want to retain the image 
sharpness when exposed onto it. The sun is great for this but it is 
not reliable here especially in the winter months. I even went so far 
as calculating the shadow sharpness of the sun based on the exposed 
surfaces distance from the negative, and that told me that I can 
image up to 900 dpi even if the negative is 1/8 inch away. The only 
thing I came up with so far is a naked xenon arc which is probably 
risky to use since I know those bulbs can sometimes explode violently 
without warning, and can also blow a big hole in the bank account. Any ideas?
