Hi Dave,
Have you tried this unit with uv curable urethane?
If you have......How long is the cure? Does yours measure in light units or seconds? The kind that measure in light units will be more reliable with the curing process. They will adjust the time to give the same amount of exposure no matter how weak the bulb gets....This is a good thing...as you don't have a moving time target....the computer calculates the adjustments based on the actual UV light generated by the bulb. IE a newer bulb will be shorter exposure times....as it ages, it will automaticly adjust to compensate for loss of UV producing capability, keeping your actual exposure close to the same.
It may be with this system that even a really weak bulb is more than enough to crosslink the urethane quickly so it would be good to know around how long the exposure is on yours if you have tried it.
