Hey guys,
I've been reading some posts on this forum so I figured out I'd ask you guys, since you tend to give good info here.
I'm trying to build the UV lamp method to be able to use the UV method of PCB manufacturing.
So far I've had to bother my neighbor to land me his UV lamp and the process has never failed me.
So I know it's a simple circuit, and I don't need a schematic for it, however I do have a question:
I own a bug zapper that kinda has 2 UV fluorescent lamps in it (that's used to attract the bugs to it). I was thinking of dissembling that device and use the UV lamps from there.
Only problem is: I also own a pair of glasses that react to the Sun and they shade automatically with sunlight. However, when exposed to this UV lamp, the one from the bug catcher, they don't shade at all, even after long exposure.
So my question is: is the UV lamp from the bug zapper any good to be used for the PCB manufacturing, and if so, what would be a good distance from the PCB to use the lamp on, and for how long. I can give you the dimensions and power of the lamp if needed.
Thanks in advance,
Nusku
