Im just curious if I have to use a UV light made for the purpose of developing boards, or if I can use a regular blacklight that I can buy cheaper than a UV light

Someone on another forum said to use medical bulbs. Someone else said today to use blacklights. I have never used a photosensitive pcb, so I dunno.Random said:audioguru - if standard blacklights don't transmit the rays I want, which kind of bulb should I get?
I dunno that one either, but think that florescent bulbs and sunlight would cause trouble.Also - how sensitive are these boards to regular household light, when the backing's removed? Do I have to set up a darkroom-type environment to expose and develop my boards cleanly?
