exposure unit

Post by omaho »

Please help. I'm building an exposure and Im not sure if I got the right fluorescent tubes. I could only find F18t8/blacklight blue fluorescent tubes....had to drive 600 kilometres for it!
Can I use F18t8/blacklight blue fluorescent tubez for my exposure unit??? Plz anyone?

What you need is unfiltered blacklight, these appear to be party lights.

Just try exposing a screen to them, if it works you are OK, if it doesn't, then you need to worry.

The purple UV lights are for stoners. The unfiltered UV lights have the correct UV wavelength for exposure, look like a regular bulb, but emit a slight bluish light. They'll also give you a sunburn with long exposures and shouldn't be stared at, or used as a light table to set up art.
