[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 533479, member: 11952"] I think I'm going to have to dust off my lamp and start photographing some of my collection properly now that this subforum is here, finding fluorescent minerals used to be my jam. I thought about building a SW UV lamp from one of those Makita battery powered fluorescent torches but it never really got off the ground. One of those would have a weight and portability advantage over the expensive US made lamps, I have a Way Too Cool 18W UVA/C lamp which is great but uses a 12V supply, I've got a lead-acid battery for it but it's really too heavy for 2020 and I should get something lighter. Come on shortwave UV LEDs, where are you? [/QUOTE]
