does anyone have any info about the photo Resist UV Spectrum range for "Kinsten Presensitized" PCB's ? I would like to look at this Laser/ UV LED in more detail , speed is not impotant right now but to get it working first will be nice ... Thomas

I did some thinking about this as well. I found on this list that
some pre-sensitised PCB are sensitive in the range of 340 to 400 nm,
and peak at about 360nm. The LED that I bought has an output at
405nm. As far as power, just move slower! A co-worker's friend, who
works with optics as a consultant, said it wouldn't be hard to pick
some lenses and fiber from Edmund scientific to foccus most of the
LED's light into the fiber. And if I were more serious I might be
able to get him to help me design something, but due to too many
projects, trying this will most likely just be a through experimnet
for me...
