Hello Jeff,

I haven't tested the output of these LEDs for printing
with UV sensitive materials.

However, I constructed a small LED array using diodes with
output in the red region of the spectrum for developing
Becquerel developed Daguerreotypes.

A large array is costly to construct. I would like to
know of your success if you decide to construct one for UV.
I considered this for Woodburytype exposures a while back
but following through with that remains for another day.

best regards,
Phillip
