Even better is to get some real flourescent UV bulbs. I got mine from a local lighting supply house. I just looked for light bulbs in the yellow pages. The bulbs are F20T12/BL and cost me about $10 per tube when I bought them last year. They are a 2' long bulb and go into a standard fixture that I got at Home Depot. I added a 5 minute mechanical timer to control the exposure.
