UV-Exposure box V1

This project was my first UV-Exposure box. But it didn’t work as it should. Therefore I made a new version that works better.

Hi,

No, it are uv tubes (Philips Cleo).

Yes, they are connected in series. I think this is only possible on 230V.

I don't have the exact specs, but I think it where 16W ballast coils.

I'm planning to built my first exposure box, since I can't find a local supplier for UV tubes I'll be using and ordinary daylight fluorescent instead (with longer exposure time of course).
My question is if I'll be using a 10 watts tube, can I used a 20 watts ballast to handle 2 PCS. of 10 watts tube? like your setup above?

BTW I'll be using it on 220V line...


TIA

Hello,

Yes, but then you need to use 110V starters.
