Yes, you used to be able to buy 275-watt self-ballasted sun lamps (mercury
vapor) in most home supply stores. These were made for tanning the body as
I recall. You can't buy these anymore but a close equivalent would be the
mercury vapor street lampt. To use just take off the diffuser and install
some kind of reflector behind the bulb. About the cheapest UV light around,
but if you want to make big prints you would need to have a bank of them.
