What is a good setup w/links hopefully to what I need to whiten shell

I've seen so many restoration video projects where the tech puts both the top and bottom part of the shell depending on console (could be PS1 as well), in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and a UVB light pointed at them. Ive researched and learned that yellowing can be fixed be this combination of hydrogen peroxide and UVB light in the 280-315 nm range. However when I google search, all I find is UVA and UVB light apparatus for cannabis farming or other applications. Does anyone have a good link to a good product that will complete the task that I intend to do? Any help would much be appreciated; and also if there's something other than hydrogen peroxide that should be added to the wash (think Ive seen a nickel based solution added before in the past too); please let me know. Thanks so much for anyone that can help me out with this!

@brakshow to clean and reverse the yellowing on a Vic20 and a few C64 I used the "Retrobright" process. Check for the composition of that on here I do stay away from the 3% and use the 6% Hydrogen Peroxide from your local "hair styler". Any commercial UVA/UVB light will work. Best is actually natural sunlight :-) Hope this helps.

Once you start working on it, take some good before and after picture. Post them on here and let us see your results. I am very sure that you'll be surprised about how good this will work.

Very Nice! So no particular brand or style you prefer for this? Just any light in this range will do the trick? Do I have to completely inundate it with UVB @ 280-315nm light or will a single apparatus putting out light in that range over night in a 6% hydrogen peroxide solution do the trick do you think?

@brakshow I do think that any good UVA or UVB light will work. Don't get bogged down on the wavelength. I've used a bulb that I bought at Petco (Pet Supply stores) that they carry for Reptiles. I'd give it 8hr-12hrs

Ok m8 one more question. I bought a couple gallons of 6% hydrogren peroxide off ebay (although 12% was cheaper but probably too caustic.....then again I could just buy 12% and add half water to make it 6% so mabye I'll do that).

Either way lemme show you some links and tell me if you think this will work even though they're a little higher on the nm range suggested (398nm, when 280-318nm is the preferred). But if you've got experience with this m8 and think these will do what I need them to do then just give me a thumbs up and here in a week or so I'll give you that before and after (have the perfect SNES for it!)

Just to add on to this, I think Im just going to buy the two bottles of 12% hydrogen peroxide and mix if half and half with purified water to double the batch for the cost. I don't see any downside do that do you? Most of the ingredients lists for hydrogen peroxide is only water and the dissolution level
