Your URL is for next week, the UV lamp is for this week at this URL:

http://www.aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/offers_20100107.htm


Also, this URL shows a different 'sterilizer' that also appears to be
battery operated, together
with a user comment that it does indeed erase EPROMs

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10131

The guy commented that it erased 99.9% in 12 minutes, which is not bad.
I used to allow at least 20 minutes with one of the mains-powered 20W
clear-glass flouros.

The other steriliser probably uses one of these lamp/drivers...

Sorry, I did have the correct URL, but I cut and pasted the wrong one.

Thanks.
