I have some fairly quirky ideas, in general I am a touch crazy. Anyway, I
was looking at the packaging on the Phillips 175 Watt Metal Halide bulb, in
particular the warnings on the back, It says if the outer envelope of glass
was cracked or broken that a person could get burned from short wave UV
radiation. And that some Metal Halide bulbs were available that had an
automatic shut off feature in case the outer glass envelope was broken,
however this did not. This made me wonder what would happen if I
intentionally broke the outer envelope of glass and exposed my prints with
that bulb. Would I die quicky or slowly from noxious fumes, intense UV
radiation, or from flying 1000 degree C. shards of glass? I am still to
afraid to try, mostly because the bulb cost 25 bucks and if it doesn't work
I won't be able to return it to Home Depot. Any ideas anyone?
I thought a point source would be easier and sharper.
John
