Wrong type of UV. You are mostly getting long wave UVA outdoors, so
blacklight lamps would seem to be the correct (and MUCH safer) choice.
When I looked at 24" T8 bi-pin blacklight lamps, they were going for about
USD $10 per lamp.
UVC germicidal lamps would also require an enclosure to protect the user

I'd wager that a couple of T8 germicidal lamps (UVC) would do the trick
pretty quickly, but they're pricey, unless you have a friend who runs a
slaughterhouse or sewage treatment plant. Can be ordered through Home
Depot. We're thinking about building that kind of
"deyellowing station" in
the MARCH warehouse.
Hmm, single UV lamp, couple of stepper motors and a couple of circular
tracks, one set at right angles to the other - plus a few misc. bits
and pieces? ;-) from exposure to short wave UV. This isn't as
necessary with long wave UVA
(unless someone was going to be around it for long
periods of time on a
regular basis).
