[Rockhounds] UV lamps

[Tim Fisher]

I think the Convoy S2+ 365 nm is an adequate entry level light with the
visible light filter. It emits an insane amount of light for the price. I
have an extra filter and I'll give it to you for the postage. Stay away from
the 395 nm lights! I know this doesn't help you much but I'm holding out for
an SW LED flashlight but I don't even know if SW LEDs exist.

You should get a more informed response from an expert on here. Ahem :)

I wrote a while ago about my 2 broken UV lamps. The suggestions I got were
good, but I was not able to restore either one. Here is a possible solution:

 

One of these lamps is a Raytech L-8 Ultra. It is old, bought somewhere in
the 1970's. It is a 115V model. I have the original packing box, samples,
and booklets.

Raytech no longer offers or supports these.

 

The second one is a Spectroline mini-max UV-5NF . This is a battery/115V
model, neither of which works. This lamp is about 5 years old. Spectroline
does not service any of their UV lamp models.

I also have the original packing box, and instructions.

 

This leaves me with 2 broken lamps that I have been unable to find someone
to repair. .  I have only a LW Chinese UV flashlight for my UV minerals. I
don't want to pay some $3-400 for a new one.

 

 

Here's the deal...for anyone who knows that they can fix both of these, I
will give either one of them as a payment. After repair, return either one
to me, and we both will have a working model UV light.
