Cured screen printing emulsion

I bought this light specifically for emulsion polymerisation which is used for screens in the manufacture of t-shirts. I am currently using Polycol Multi-Tex Red Dual Cure to work with Platisol inks. My main concern when looking for light sources was the number of nanometers, which in this case falls within the 385nm range, which is what I wanted. I had two 10 watt lightbulbs, the main reason was that I knew I needed a quick exposure and didn't know how powerful they would be in terms of distance, especially for curing purposes. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were well built, although the LEDs themselves were small they were very, very powerful. I was able to heal a 23" screen about 7" above the lights. I exposed for just over 2 minutes which I didn't really need, I actually overexposed but am particularly pleased with how well it served its purpose (for my use). I was a little nervous that there is no switch. Light, but then I realized that hooking them up to a surge protector with a switch will work just fine. What I like about the lights is that they need to be on at the same time to ensure an even exposure. Anyway, I highly recommend them, especially if you're a hobbyist who's used something from Ryonnet (like their exposure light) because it's smoother and very powerful.

Pros
  • Excellent high power black LED. 10W, high-quality and powerful black light LED (50,000 hours long service life, high energy efficiency), light wavelength: 385-400nm, UVA level.
Cons
