Help Please With Led's

[RJSakowski]

Gator, No need to apologize for a rant. You have the right to desire to live a decent life.

Some years ago, I found a website the sold UV LED's. Back then the technology was new and prices were high but they had LED's going down into the 250 nm range. This may have been the site.

Check the yellow pages for light specialty stores in your area. Might have what you need, or are able to get what you need. Worth a shot.

400nm seems to stick in my head for some reason. Is that the grow light range? If so just get a desk top grow light. I think they are about $10.

As for the merits of the treatment, I'm no MD, but be careful - UV radiation causes thymidine dimers which in turn can cause cancer.

Yes. That's why you should never, ever expose your skin to sunlight.

that's a little extreme John. Comparing the intensity per area of a high power UV LED with that of the sun isn't a very "illuminating" comparison. I've worked with UV my whole career (DNA gel electrophoresis) and I don't once recall anyone saying I should skip the face mask or shield because it's just like sunlight.
