I have a GTL3 253nm UV light bulb.  This bulb is a replacement for a
PALM-ERASE.  The info that I have found for this bulb is that it uses
about .35A and that it needs a ballast.  Based on my preliminary data
I believe that all I need is a 12 power supply for it, and thats all.

Specs:

Wattage - 3W
Current - 0.350A
UV watt - 0.18W
2.0 microwatts/ cm*cm at 1m

Do light bulbs have similar power calculations to motors?
(power triangle stuff)

If someone has a UV eraser that uses this bulb could you measure the
voltage on the output of the ballast (transformer).

BTW> This is not a flourescent tube, its incandescent with a screw in
base (type E17).
