Photo-resistant PCB: Black Light or UV?

[adamf]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and need some help with a doubt.

I'm about to build a device to print my own photo-resistant PCBs at home, but before I buy the components I would like to know if the Black Light tubes the same as UV -as they are much more cheaper- and if there is much difference between both for the purpose of printing PCBs?

I also heard other people saying that you can simply use any fluorescent light, or even the light of the sun. Did anyone experiment with these?

Thanks for your help.
