I know nothing about cyanotyping - Does the heat from the lamp help with the printing process, or just the UV light? If the heat is a bug not a feature, there are some LED products that do pretty good UV light emission. You could do a spectral comparison and some tests and see if you could use those instead, since cutting the heat waste would make it smaller and cheaper and help the components last longer.
Also this is really really cool and I want to make one.
