The only known way to get a full spectrum is a black body radiator. =A0To g=
et a true full UV spectrum would require a black body radiator at temperatu=
res in the tens of thousands kelvin. =A0This is well beyond the boil point =
of any element, so there is no getting around a plasma arc. =A0Even a very =
hot arc will only get you close. =A0Then there is still the obstacle of air=
 blocking the shorter UVC. =A0So there are problems.

You do not need a full spectrum to cure UV glue. =A0The only LEDs that will=
 do it are true 365nm or less and they do not work with all resins. =A0True=
 365nm LEDs can be hard to find because a lot of sellers don't know what th=
ey have and will call a 395nm as 365nm. =A0A sterilization or EEPROM erase =
lamp will work off of a standard ballast and provide a few strong UV lines.
