Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes. I am building a UV exposure box for the university I work at and was in the market for 340 nm uv leds. They can be set at 340 or tunable between 300 and 400 nm. I found some for $340 each. Tha's too much money. I was wondering if anyone knows of a lower cost option? This UV exposure box is for envirnomental testing. Thanks, Curtis

Leon,
Are you talking about mercury tubes? I think they peak at around 254 nm and 185 nm. I'm not sure what they emit above 300nm, and if it could be filtered.
Curtis,
I can't vouch for any of these guys, and I don't know what they charge, I just had them bookmarked from a project some time ago that never got started, but maybe they're worth looking into?
