Yes, in fact I checked with the person selling the equipment and he
originally purchased the unit from the hospital. It has 6 Ultra-V 93 lamps
and 2 BB lamps. I don't know if that will cause unevenness, but replacing 2
lamps is not that costly, so it's not too bad.

Does anyone has information about the Ultra-V 93 lamps? It doesn't sound like
the regular stuff that we use for alt. photo, does it? I am suspecting that
since it is used for exposing babies, the UV level must be low, but I would
appreciate any information about it.
