How many watts should a black light be?

For most basic applications, 1 watt of UV light energy output is sufficient to create strong fluorescence effects over a 100 sq ft area. For a 200 sq ft area, simply multiply the target UV levels by 2x for an estimated 2 watts of UV light energy needed.

What is the brightest blacklight?

What does a black light bulb do?

A black light bulb produces UVA light (as opposed to UVB light). These ultraviolet light frequencies are above violet on the spectrum and are invisible to the human eye.

What kind of bulb is a black light?

Black lights come in fluorescent, incandescent, mercury vapor and LED technologies. Fluorescents are especially common. We offer a variety of T8 and T12 tubes, U-shaped tubes, and CFL bulbs.

Is there a difference between UV light and blacklight?

In a nutshell, there isn’t quite a difference, but a misunderstanding of the terms. Black light is nothing but UVA light, while UV light is basically composed out of UVA, UVB and UVC. So in other words, black light is UV light(450-100nm), covering the 400-320nm spectrum.

Is Blacklight same as UV light?

A blacklight, also referred to as a UV-A light, Wood’s lamp, or ultraviolet light, is a lamp that emits long-wave (UV-A) ultraviolet light and very little visible light.

Is purple LED same as blacklight?

Purple LEDs are ultraviolet and they can be used to create a blacklight effect. Though you can make a brighter purple by mixing red and blue on an RGB LED, it won’t have the same effect as the ultraviolet lights used in counterfeit bill detectors and for revealing security holograms on credit cards and driver licenses.

How do you turn your phone into a blacklight?

Place a small piece of tape over the LED flash on the back of your iPhone or Android smartphone, which should be close to your rear camera. (It will also work on tablets with built-in flashes.) Color on top of the tape with a blue marker so that it covers the flash.

Are all black light bulbs the same?

They emit some visible light photons, but mostly they emit photons in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range. There are actually two different types of black light, but they work in basically the same way. A tube black light is a basically a fluorescent lamp with a different sort of phosphor coating.
