This is a very good article put out by a reputable company. Keep in mind that not all resins are the same. Some cure fine in sunlight, others do not. Not all resin manufacturers, or UV light manufacturers, agree on all the specifics, but in general most agree that you should be using long wave UV-A light to cure windshield repair resin. The range of UV-A is approximately 320nm to 380nm.

UV lights that Delta Kits sell are rated at 365nm. 12 Volt, 120 Volt and 240 volt lights are going to be more powerful and consistent than battery operated lights and should be used whenever possible. Having said that, we have tested a number of battery operated lights that do a good job of curing resin, although a bit slower in most cases. We have also tested some lights that do not cure well at all.

It's always best to check with the manufacturer of the resin you use before making a lamp choice. Make sure that the light you purchase meets the resin manufacturer's specifications.
