Cyanotypes (and exposure times)

Was this really a valid test, though? Studio lights don't produce all that much UV, do
they? I'm not surprised that you needed a long exposure, but it seems to me that trying
this indoors compounds the problem of slow emulsion with little usable light. Wouldn't it
be better to try this outdoors on a sunny day? (For eight hours. Ha ha. I get it...)
