according to this photo
and the description here 365 to405
i believe i made the right choice

Ok so to be clear…
I bought this:

So now I need to buy 4 of those 405 lamps:
And them I’m set with a 405 nm machine and the lamp should fit well?
Why change it? It works well as-is. I have exactly the same unit.
for us it was not only the wavelength to tell you the truth. it was also the lifetime of the bulbs.
two out of eight burned in two weeks. and the rest you could see the fluorescent light shorten up which mean they didnt have much life. and felt like the intensity of the light was not as in the beginning.
the service life as they call it is 500h for the simple lamps while the led is double 1000h.
so adding the lifetime and the correct wavelength it was easy for us to “upgrade”

@loukrezis Can you confirm if what I wrote in my last post is correct or I’m understanding things wrong?
@Marcologue it will be perfect !
@loukrezis Got it!
@Zachary_Brackin ouf… never realized it but you are right… one of my favorite model (I actually printed it at Ownage tho) got a major sunburn on his back (notice the difference between the 2 arms) and never realized it. Oh well… lesson learned!

Yeah, sunlight will affect both plastic and paint
By the way, how long would you leave my sculpt at the beginning if this thread in the UV chamber?
The 405 or 365-405 LEDs idea looks great. Do we know how long before the LED phosphors weaken (even though they still light up? FL was suggesting both heat and light. Will the LEDs provide enough heat for the optimal cure? Does it make a big enough difference to be concerned?
