At the very least, this guy should be hung, drawn and quartered! Shocked

The IKEA lamp worked for me back in 2014 when I started this thread and it still works for me today! Tuzki with lens

And, of course, which lens(es) does it not work? Smile

I can't answer your question, I only have experience with the Minolta.

I have this same lamp and have used it to clear up a number of yellowed lenses, including the Rokkor 28mm 2.5 and a couple Takumar 50mm 1.4. Imagine the lamp would work for any yellowed lens.

Twenty Days with a Jansjö usb led. I gues the USB version is not very powerfull.

Ikea don't sell the power line version anymore.

Multiple yellowed 55 and 50 Super and S-M-C Takumars, some cleared completely, some a little, some not at all. YMMV

Trying a different setup now. (not a halogen in there but a led replacement lamp).

Lens de-yellowing works with any visible light, however you can best supply it.

4 days. I didn't see much difference (wasn't very yellow in the first place) so I decided to pull yellow saturation to the max and luminance to the minimum. This showed up a lot in the untreated lens that has largely gone after it has been treated.
