Gordon,

Do you, or does anyone else on the list, happen to have any model #'s for
UV rich self-ballasting mercury lamps? I've looked at a number of
self-ballasting mercury lamps, but they are all pretty weak when it comes
to UV; I assume because they are designed for general illumination. My
experience with distributors has not been good when it comes to getting
technical specs.
