Ah well, you'll just have to use a magnesium flare, then (IIRC, lots

As your UV eraser bulb ages, the output will gradually decrease. So
you may find that you may need to gradually increase the erasure
time.
Of course, magnesium flares don't have that problem... ;)

A carbon arc
would work as well but I've not seen these
since they've stopped using these in search lights.
And if the arc happens to jump to the pins of the EPROM, it'll surely be
erased, but not, alas, reporgrammable.
