UV LED Black Light - 10W Tube for Bulb Replacement, Blacklight Poster, Art & Parties

I'm very happy with this light. It is very light-weighted and portable, and is also very sturdy and solid, considering its size and shape. I used it for my bedroom decorations, it makes my blacklight posters glow in the dark, it is definitely a very good light for my UV posters and blacklight arts. Here are a few nice things about this blacklight tube: The fact that this light is kind of a wide-angle emitting UV light bulb is advantageous for illuminating ceilings and walls. I like the dual column LED chip design, it produces twice amount the UV power compared to those which are typically of this size. As mentioned, it is well made, solid-looking, especially considering its size. Admittedly 10W is small, it is still a good size for personal use in a bedroom or a room of similar sizes. The built-in switch makes it convenient to adjust the brightness of the light, I prefer the low-brightness mode as it is enough for the small area I wanted to illuminate on the wall. It can also be used without the adaptor, I quickly tried to plug the USB to my laptop and it did work. Overall I highly recommend this light for blacklight posters or UV arts.

Initially I was afraid that this light might be too small, but it turned out just right for me. The key factor to a good glow in the dark effect is not about having excessive black light, it is mostly about getting the right amount of glow decorations which can glow under UV. We enjoyed exploring different variaties of things that could glow under UV. Some of the neon glow star tapes I bought were nice, I also made some DIY decorations using the square shaped "fluorescent papers", these papers came in yellow, green, and pink colors and I cut them into various shapes. To me they are very affordable and most importantly I can cut them into any shapes I wanted.So rather than buying large blacklights, I did the opposite and used as minimum amount of black light as possible. I focused on finding the right neon decorations for the glow effect. I believe this was a better way to implement the blacklight in the dark. I also found it handy that this light fixture has a built in two-way switch which can lower the brightness when needed.

I have used these black lights to make bug traps by suspending them over containers of water dosed with a little dish soap. They ran 24/7 from the time house plants were brought in from outside until they were taken back out which is about 8 months and lasted two seasons. Two of the lights have had power supply failures in their third season and one has developed a bad connection in the wiring. I replaced the power supply with generic high output supplies which worked fine but will probably have to replace the entire light package on the one with the cord defect. All in all, not bad performance considering the long duty cycles that I have exposed them to.

This UV lamp was purchased to illuminate our glow-in-the-dark jigsaw puzzles. Ordinary LED lighting does not have enough UV to activate the phosphorescence in the puzzle, so it's glow is quite dim. This UV LED Blacklight worked very well and the results were spectacular. The UV energy delivered was sufficient to caused the puzzle to glow for hours after the lamp was removed. It is nicely designed and packaged. It comes with a USB power supply and cable. However, we powered ours from a USB cell-phone backup battery (not included), which allowed it to be completely portable.

My niece already has lots of various lights in her bedroom, so much so that my brother joked that she has a little "stoner bedroom". That gave me the idea to get her a blacklight and some blacklight tapestries/posters for her birthday. Have only tested this light out a few times, but so far it works great, and it lights up the two tapestries I got for her beautifully! I can't wait to give them all to her, she's going to love it!

This will light up your items as you remember your old neon black light did. The ONLY problem that I have with this product is that it is very glaring to look at. The old neon black lights had a much softer glow. This one is tough to deal with if you make eye contact with it. I had it hanging over an outside bar and the glare was too much to accept. If you are backlighting something, or have it out of direct eye sight lines, then it's a pretty good product.

Upon receiving this item, it did not work. I’m guessing it got thrown around a bit during the shipping and delivery process... I ordered a replacement and received it the very next day! I was surprised at the speedy delivery, also I’m literally in love with this black light! It shines bright, has two settings, definitely brings out any neon colors... I’m hoping to buy some black light posters!! Great product, would recommend!

Charging cube it came with doesn’t work, and the light will turn off whenever it feels like. It gets overheated extremely fast, the usb that plugs into the cube will get so hot it almost burns your skin. Not suitable for children or pets. The parts it came with for installation were not the right size (unless we broke them to make it work), so we used foam stickers to hang it up. It’s lightweight and bright, but it’s not worth it when it only stays on for an hour and has to cool down. Save your money and time and get something that has more bang for your buck.UPDATE: Charging cube doesn’t work because this thing killed it. Made the mistake of using my Apple cube and it destroyed that one.
