This is the same type of UV lighting used in sterilizing drinking water.
I ran a search for "small ultraviolet surface disinfection light for sale" and found the following site: http://www.1000bulbs.com/category.php?category=879
There were several others listed.
I'm new to this forum and could upload couple of photos of the hood if there was a graphics upload button... which I can't seem to find.

Hi Steve,
Ahh, Thailand - love the food!
That's pretty interesting about UV light in the hood. Are the workers exposed to the light while performing their flasking duties?
To insert pictures, you need to use the Img button. There is a post in Forum Feedback about inserting pics.
