Nick, may be you find useful UV LED's here: [ http://www.roithner-laser.com/ ] However, consider the price rises exponential with the inverse of the wave length of the UV. Does ordinary black light work? Or aquarium water sterilization lamps, but use the latter only in a light tight case Another source could be a mercury rectifier with an open system like 866's, but the power consumption of the tube make makes them valueless. eric

I wasn't very "quantitative", but from a qualitative standpoint, the marbles made no difference and at that time so-called "UV" LEDs didn't seem to have much UV content - more just purple... Maybe things have improved since then and UV LEDs are a possible answer. All you need is a good source of high energy photons to initiate ionisation...
