Blacklight theatre

Na one of the biggest factors when using Black light blue {BLB[UVA]} is with your costumes & sets. These days there are a myriad of dyes, makeup & materials available. I'm sure in Melbourne you would have Halloween shops, which carry them all in stock. Also one thing to think of is if your using 'black Ducks' {techies in black garb] try & suggest they use 'Head & Shoulders', as dandruff on black clothing will show up. also a lot of dry washing powders will also react to UV [BLB] & you might be able to also use for a UV effect. Also if you fossicking thru a Salvage yard, be careful not to buy any industrial UV equipment, especially any UVB or UVC, as these are the in the harmfully short wave UV spectra. There again even the safe UVA longwave will promote ageing with prolonged concentrated over exposure. BLB is a similar process as 'Woods Glass' used in UV discharge theatrical lamps.

You might find they have package damage tubes or shop soiled fittings even discounted lines, you could take off their hands for a song.
