From reading some stuff on a UV FAQ, I understand that UV-B lamps are
intended for 'effects' type displays, and as such, have a UV filter that
removes the harmful to eye components of the UV spectrum - ie: the ones
that erase PIC's etc.  Try one without the -B suffix.  (If an eraser came
with one of these in it, either the FAQ was wrong || I am confused || the
eraser manufacturer needs a good kick!)
