Large UV exposure units

I am interested in making larger prints over the winter in Gum and Pt Pd, and Silver can someone reference lighting unit that can handle 22 x30 paper?

I am currently using a Nuarc 26K and I really like it but finding a similar system without breaking the bank is important. I have 5 thumbs on each hand but have a few really talented workers that could
follow a plan if its a make it yourself system.

Michael do you have any links to some kick ass systems?

Sandy has recommended a system that may work for me but I would like to hear some thoughts about making them as I have a customer base who would buy them and it would give one of my people lots of extra
part time work.

I am really interested in a box that would work for Pt Pd and Gum- and as well a box that would work for Silver.
As well vacumn easel designs or sources for compact units would be really welcome.

Bob the large 5kw plate burning units would give even light coverage for a big vacuum frame. This would be the easy off the shelf approach to the problem. My preference would be a large vacuum frame with UV led strips for the exposure unit. This would have to be self fabricated. I have read several accounts and watched videos, but its all rocket science to me.
