just look for the cheapest uv bulb you can find at 185nm wavelength
as for ballasts and such
heres a 12 inch undercabinate light for 16
http://www.bulbs.com/eSpec.aspx?ID=12369&Ref=Category&RefId=13
and yes a 4w uv bulb makes more than enough ozone.
and air fresheners will work their way back into the bud, and give it a funny kinda thing.
anyway the bulb you could have in a few days, you can buy a fixture like that from lowes or walmart at roughly the same price.
NO you dont need the fancy germacidal ballast, you lose a tiny bit of efficiency, but not enough to make me pay 140 dollars more, cuz for that price i could fuckin buy 4 o3 gens

ok so is your fan on constantly?
put it on a timer. 15 min every hour or so.
the constant air output with increased odor molocules is overwhelming your filter.
put fan on timer, increase thickness of carbon filter, you can decrease humidity without a fan by putting a covored container of ice on a pan, which will draw condensation from the air and collect it in the pan.
also
keep them OUT of the light for curing, light degrades thc, but u knew that.
but u couldnt put the o3 gen inside tent (it would deoderize the buds, i mean smells like air untill u break it open, and the o3 as it breaks down releases a charged o which can bond to parts of the thc molocule and break it down), have to put it in the room and make sure it cant seep into tent.
ozone wise you dont really need much o3 to deoderize if you can direct the entire exhast flow past the bulbs light. say putting the light inside a large tube and vent through tube. same type of setup you use with an ozone blaster setup, you just have alot more bulbs and a higher cfm.

What!?!? If I turn my fan on for 15 minutes every hour my place will REEK. The fan needs to be on full time! Think about it, if you turn it off for 45 minutes, the air in that room will accumulate lots of stink-molecules, so when you turn the fan BACK on, the carbon filter will be overloaded.
Running it 24/7 will keep the ppm in the air down. I would say you have a problem with your filter. Try shaking it up, turning it to the other side. I had to replace my existing CAN filter last year with the next size up for smell reasons. I never looked back... haven't had smell issues since.

Smells good
Place your dry-box near your intake, and the carbon will filter the smell
