Thanks I just did a Google Products search and the first item that came up <http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=20609&C=Froogle&U=20609&T=Alias&MA=ultra%20violet> was a 4ft tube for £15, about $30. I don't know how long they are meant to last but I recently had one running continuously for three weeks. I ahve had two of these tubes for about 4 years and they both still work fine. I'm sure you can find the same sort of thing in America for the same price or even less. JD
