From the description of one in the list at the link, the first choice sounds correct. The second choice is for your day-glo Jimi Hendrix poster.

I lost my day-glo Hendrix poster somewhere back in '72 or so...

What exposure unit do you have, and what do they recommend? If you know the specs on the bulbs, there are often less expensive sources to be found. We don't use fluorescents here, but we've used Caprock Development and Specialty Bulbs over the years, always better pricing than screen printing suppliers.
