Bad, bad, bad idea. Those lamps are wide spectrum Mercury lamps. You would need a filter anyway.
Just use the right wavelength. 365nm is invisible to the eye and eye safe. My 355nm laser is almost completely invisible, only when it strike a target and it fluoresces do you see it. There are 365nm LEDs, they are not cheap but the longer the wavelength you get from 365 the cheaper they get. http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntk=P_MarCom&Ntt=161382735 -Jerry > On Oct 10, 2014, at 11:53 PM, Nathan McCorkle <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 7:50 PM, Jerry Biehler <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> Uv B is not eye and skin safe. > > If Paul would be able to project the UV-B onto something he wanted to excite > (not kids, something that would fluoresce), with some non-reflective UV > absorber behind...
