you are right.
when i last thought of building a new exposure unit the uv fluorescent lamps were sold at 300eur each. i 
don't know why, the same shop has it for 8 eur or  so.

oh, now i see the problem.
the daylight halogene costs only eur 6, sorry....
this was a quite important mistake.. thats the problem with the eur if you only know the price in 
schilling (old currency) and forget to convert it. 

sorry for that.
but you are right, uv fluorescents are quite cheap now.

but please also consider the undercutting effect if you want to make very fine tracks and have not ideal 
flat pcb and transparencys.
