I came across two UV flashlights that are used in my industry, and I was wondering if by any chance it would be possible to use them as a burning in tools. The nanometer ratings are in the 375 to 390 NM range, which I believe is correct, but I suspect that there is an intensity factor that would preclude their use. Does anyone have data on the lumens or whatever is needed to produce a change in an alt print using a UV light source?
UV intensities for printing.

Wayne,
Back in the 80's, I tried using a UV cureing light from my dentist. I thought that this was going to be the magic bullet. All the spects looked good and on to the print test. As I remember 15 to 20 minute got me about a Zone IX gray and the size was about as big as a dime. So much for that as a tool.
But who knows you might a found something big. So give it a try.
Good luck
