This is our
utilitarian workhorse. Inexpensively priced and able to take a lot of use,
this florescent black light puts out 7 watts of power in the dark. It is the
kind that you always want in the back of the drawer when you need this type
of light.
Ever wanted
to know if your amber is real or fake? A black light is one of the easiest
ways to help this identification! Real amber has a yellow to blue glow, fake
plastic has no luminescence.
This is
a 6" handheld black light fixture.. Works with 4 AA batteries which are
not included. Checking hand stamps, finding pet stains, checking for bacteria,
applying black light sensitive cosmetics, searching for antique glass, and
our personal favorite... hunting for scorpions at night in the desert (eek!)
are just a few of the uses we've heard about.
Actually
there are many uses besides identifying fake Vs real amber. Here are some
of them:
- Many scorpion
species show up in UV light. Take your light to a desert and find
scorpions!
- Cat
urine shows up in UV light. Ever wonder if your cat is urinating
behind the chairs?
- Paper
Products: Most paper products--like post cards, books, signs,
photos papers, etc.--made before the late 1930s-WW2 era rarely
fluoresces. Paper products made since 1950, however generally
fluoresces brightly due to large amounts of chemical bleaches
and dyes.
- In
works of art, modern paint will fluoresce or glow under a black
light, older paints will not. Thus, pictures that have been "touched
up" with modern paint will glow.
- Repairs
or hairline cracks may show and become more apparent under backlight.
- Art
Glass: Lalique before 1945 fluoresces yellow; after 1945, it does
not. Genuine old Burmese fluoresces bright yellow green, new reproductions
do not.
- Porcelain:
Hard paste porcelain will fluoresce a deep blue or purple color.
Soft paste will fluoresce white.
- Interesting
set of pictures of plants under UV light.
- Money
identification.
