Mercury lamp for UV exposure

2006-10-13 by Leon Heller

I've just bought a ballast to go with a mercury lamp I bought on Ebay. I've 
just connected them up and the lamp is working OK. I rather stupidly put it 
on the bed with a dressing gown over it to keep the cat away, smelt burning 
a few minutes later and found the lamp had burnt the duvet cover and the 
dressing gown. 8-(

Next step is to remove the outer envelope and do some test exposures. I'll 
rig up a suitable box to keep the UV away from me.
