How can I make a UV Lightbox?
this_girl_is_lost asked:
I do a lot of alternative processes which involve contact printing. I am building a new darkroom/ studio and I need a UV Lightbox. I can’t seem to find anywhere that sells these so I may have to construct one myself. Keep in mind I am not an electrician and I have no idea how to do this. Where do I start? Where can I purchase all the necessary products? Is there somewhere I can buy one for around $100? I need it to be about 16×20! Thanks!

Take a light box and replace the tubes with UV ones, (caution: do not look directly into the tubes for long time it might damage your retina)

I’d just buy a second-hand light box with a fluorescent tube, and replace the tube. Take your tape measure with you.
