Hello, Im trying to make a UV lamp to cure UV resin, because of the price of other systems I decided to buy my own UV 9W electric bulbs to wire them up.
Now the issue Im running into is that no matter what I do they are not turning on.
I want to hook them up directly (no circuits, only with resistors) but they just wont turn on..
I know my wiring is ok because I managed to turn on RGB LEDs with the same setup (made LED turn on slightly, then changed resistor and LED burned)
Ive tried connecting my UV bulb with various types of resistors and even in last resort direct to the power of my house, still nothing.
These bulbs are for a electric machine (used for curing/drying nails in salons)
Still should be able to turn on via wire & electricity lol
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!! In dire need of it, need this lamp for my job!
(First 2 photos are from my lightbulb, rest are from Amazon, where I bought then)
Only info Amazon seller gives is 9W
