Some people get the UV light by putting it outside in bright sun, others use UV lamps but you need the UV light. Also, most hydrogen peroxide you have access to will be 10% or less which shouldn't present a problem being "too strong" if you're afraid it is you can dilute it more with distilled water (if you do this it will take longer). The heat is primarily an issue if you do it outdoors on a hot day instead of indoors with a UV lamp or if you intentionally heat the container while you're treating the parts to speed up the reaction. Note that you need to leave this on for several (many) hours for the reaction to work correctly. It's not a wipe on, wipe off process. If you really want to learn more about how it came about I strongly encourage you to read the VCF threads.
