Is it an Aqua Ultraviolet? Not sure why changing the bulb would result in a leak in the union? Maybe it created more back pressure?
Yes aqua ultra violet. The drops are very tiny. Idk i dried it up. And hope for the best

Every union on the Aqua Ultrviolet their is a O ring. I would turn off the power and unscew it where it's leaking to check that O ring. If it's there and not pinched you can coat it with silicone grease.
