Any suggestions on what people used for UV lights when doing this inside?

Use your grow lights!  :P

Bumping this back up. 

I've done the whitening several times outside but the weather is a bit less regular now and I'd like to do this indoors.  Any suggestions on what people used for UV lights when doing this inside?

I used a lamp for a half-grown red-footed tortoise. You can get affordable UV lamps and heavy duty bulbs at pet supply stores which specialize in reptiles.

Thanks for the input!
So, would a bulb like this work?

It looks like it would fit in a regular lamp socket though from what I can see.  I could easily rig an existing lamp up or something with this pointing down I think.

Probably, I went with the 20inch longer style myself


Honestly even with a good bulb it takes twice as long as just using normal outside sunlight.

I just another bleaching the other day and thought I would post results


Super Famicom Peroxide Treatment by xelement5x, on Flickr

I recently did a peroxide treatment on an extra Super Famicom I had laying around as I continue to try and perfect the process.  This one was kind of moderately yellowed in the beginning, but nothing overly atrocious. 

I used a small transparent plastic storage container,  plus 1 gallon water and 32oz 40vol Peroxide from Sally Beauty, then soaked each half for about 2 hours on a nice sunny Colorado day.   

The final result is quite nice in my opinion, it looks practically new except for a couple scratches on it that are barely noticeable.
