U.V. lights, Proper wavelength?

Post by TheRockDoc »

Hello All, we have been long time readers of the forum but just recently signed up. We are looking forward to sharing knowledge and tips. This site is a great resource. We have been looking for alternative blacklights... Specifically, a U.V. battery-operated flashlight. We understand that there is a spectrum of wavelengths for all blacklights. Can anyone please tell us what the wavelength needs to be in order to properly cure repair resins???

Here is another topic link that might help you. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3966&p=32657&hilit= ... gth#p32657

Keep in mind it is not the bulb that determines the proper wavelength in a typical florescent UV lamp, but the circuitry of the device itself. Battery strength and longevity also should be considered when selecting a battery operated UV light as it has a direct effect on cure times. Generally speaking the more powerful the battery the faster the cure time.
