I've had good help from GE in the past (about 2 years ago). I spoke with
GE Nela Park Technical Services in Cleveland, Ohio at 216-266-2121. I
wanted help on selecting a halogen light source for dichromate sensized
materials . . . they provided general info and later specific data sheets
on the alternate bulbs available in the spectral range that seemed best.
I don't know if they now have an E-Mail address.

Hope this helps. Art Chakalis
