No sun-tan I am afraid...cus I am still white as all can be. Different type of light The UV light actually isn't very effective past where the screen is. We could hold one out at about 1 foot from the light and get it to exposeish...but not that great.
Those 1-5 second exposure blow my mind, that's awesome. Do you do any longer exposures for emulsion use with discharge? What's your time looking like on such an exposure?

I saw that one screen near it while one was still burning and figured it must not bother it being a little bit away. I guess if that's you in the vid burning the screens, you'd know if you were getting a sun burn or not lol. I know you can feel the heat from my tri light if you get any direct light. I have our's rigged like a pizza over to put 2 frames in at a time no glass, but this year want to add an led unit and save some space in the room.

Just curious. Looks like wearing shorts standing next to that thing for several exposures could give that guy a tan left calf but serious about the possibility of uv damage on the skin?
When I received my first 8k Olec and shot 100 screens I was stoked to watch the diazo emulsion change color so quickly.At the end of the day I had 1/2 sun burnt face and 1/2 not. Yes it was an improvement and led to many bar conversations that week. At least I knew the UV was good and strong. Seriously though UV light is nasty stuff at any wavelength and any milliwatt exposure.Your eyes may not notice the damage now, but when those cataracts start forming 10-20 years down the line it isn't fun or cheap.
