rfcurry Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I purchased a Sylvania Sun Gun II on ebay recently. The Sun Gun is a 625W (sometimes 650W) quartz iodine lamp. They are extremely bright and hot, as you would expect. See one in action at These Sun Guns are as little as $8.00 on ebay. Of course, the iodine lamp is not great in terms of percentage of UV vs an Xenon lamp but at the price... Link to comment
