Way Too Cool

Polman Minerals is proud to carry this new line of ultraviolet lamps made by Way Too Cool. Way Too Cool is a Phoenix based company started by Mr. Bill Gardner in 1998. Bill's intensive research into ultraviolet lamps, filters and electrical components has produced one of the finest lines of ultraviolet lamps for the mineral hobby. During Bill's research and development phase, Polman Minerals offered several suggestions to improve the design with emphasis on the mineral collectors needs. The most important suggestion was to design multiple wavelength lamps, independently switched, providing any combination of wavelengths needed. These multi-wavelength lamps are available in small 9-watt models for home and field use, or larger 36-watt models for display use. Way Too Cool lamps may be customized for your individual needs. Please inquire if you have any special requirements, or need to order additional parts. If you have any questions regarding Way Too Cool ultraviolet lamps, or if you need some advice on what lamp best suits your needs, please feel free to call George Polman at 480-283-1958 or email. Complete color brochures, including pictures, descriptions and prices are available by snail mail for all the ultraviolet lamp manufacturers we carry. If you would like a set of these brochures, please email your request. Click how to order for information on how to order your Way Too Cool ultraviolet lamp!
