Jim: What kind of UV filters? Were they blocking all wavelengths BUT
UV? (Most UV-pass filters also lead IR, incidently) If these were
UV-pass filters, where did you get them and how did you see what you
were doing? Halogen bulbs seem to put out a fair bit of UV, but much of
that is blocked by the standard lens on a dive light--there may still
be enough to be useful, but I'd be very interested in the details if
you still have them.
Thanks, Pete
