UV Exposure Source details

I am in the process of building a fluorescent tube UV exposure unit, but
would like some advice on a few details. I have found lots of
information out there already, but some of it is conflicting. One set of
plans has mylar reflectors behind the tubes, yet a different site says
that reflectors are a bad idea. The same site has a commercial lighting
grid between the tubes and the exposure plane for collimation. I also
find widely varying distances between the tubes and the exposure plane.
I will not need to access the interior for burning or dodging (I use
digital negs. and do all manipulations in Photoshop first). So any input
and advice would be appreciated.
