My UV set up is something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Onforu-Waterproof-Blacklight-Lighting-Fluorescent/dp/B07GGV5B7R
Two of those zip=tied to the bottom of an inverted milk crate. I place my part to retrobright on a piece of wood and then set this lamp assembly over it. The UV light is not very powerful, so it usually takes days to work. But I have been using it for various projects for over a year now. Scott M.

Both heat and UV add energy which will speed up a chemical reaction. The UV could have other effects as well. IMHO, heat is probably the easiest to control even if it might take longer.

To do or not to do? Yeah, the saran wrap has helped a lot. It keeps it from getting dry. I think heat has a much bigger part in the process than UV light. I will sometimes go out periodically and use a hair dryer to help speed up the process. If you think about it, the developer is used on hair and they use heat, not UV to make the bleach process happen.
