If I understand the response correctly regarding the Roman Black eraser (I
have not seen it personally), it sounds like it is not enclosed:

I love the spirit of DIY, but I cringe when I hear things like this...just
be careful...what if a youngster who does not know about the dangers of UV
plays with this and damages his or her eyes?

Buy a COTS UV eraser -- they have a safety mechanism (not fool-proof) to
prevent exposure. Or, go the extra mile to enclose the unit and build a
safety mechanism into it.

Best regards,

Ken Pergola

    Buy an UV lamp and use the no-transformer-enhanced-plus-tabajara
schematic from Roman Black to drive it ;o)

    Just don't forget to NEVER (hey boy, I said N E V E R) look at it when
turned on.
