Sarah,
There are many kind of quartz lamps, including halogen which would
not work for your needs. There is an Ultraviolet quart lamp that is
used in medical therapy. One place that handles this type of lamp is
Baar Products, at 1-610-873-4591. You can find other sources with a
Google search.
Be very sure that you understand the potential dangers in using a
lamp of this type. Most of the UV lamps that we use for exposing UV
processes (HID lamps such as mercury vapor and metal halide, BL, BLB,
and SA fluorescent tubes) put out most of their radiation in the
Ultraviolet A zone, which is not especially hazardous to your health.
I have not seen a spectral intensity chart for the medical therapy
lamps but if they put out a lot of UV in the range below 300
nanometers I would advise against their use.
There is an article on UV light sources for alternative processes
that you can see at http://unblinkingeye.com. However, I did not do
any research on UV quartz lights because at the time I did not know
that this type of lamp was being used to expose UV processes.
