American DJ BLACK-24BLB 24" Black Light Fixture with bulb

This is by far the best over-all black light. LEDs are trash. I tried the normal lamp light bulb black light cfl from sunlite, and they put out more visible light than this product, but would be my second choice. I also tried a 17w Walmart 24” tube that is very close to this and cost 4X less, but puts out too much visible purple light, and doesn’t put out much.This cfl has the best wavelength and spectrum for eye popping colors while remaining dark.

I read the reviews for this product before buying it and was impressed at what people thought. However, considering how cheap it was, I thought people were praising the product based upon its quality for the price. I was wrong.This product is top-notch in quality and probably worth more than the current selling price. The lighting case is your typical black plastic holder that most standard fluorescent or black lights are housed in, so the quality of the housing is par with other similar products. What sets this light apart from others is its brightness and range. I bought it to supplement tubular black light bulbs I was putting into our fish tank to make our new "glowing" fish glow (those new cool genetically engineered zebrafish that glow with firefly genes). I installed the more expensive tubular black lights into the tank and our fish started glowing. Only after admiring the fish did I break out the other black light unit. Wow! Not only was it at least 20x brighter than the expensive tubular black lights, but it lit up the entire room! Everything was glowing!The range is so spectacular in my son's room (12'x17') that one light fixture pretty much lit up the entire room. And because of the cheap cost, I am ordering two more to go in the basement for the kid's parties. This product is absolutely worth the price and works better than the more expensive bulbs (without light-housing). Skip the bulbs and just buy one of these. You will not be disappointed!

Finally! I've been searching for a while to find a black light that's truly 365nm and this one is! I have some manganese glass pieces that will only glow under 365nm and this one makes them glow! So happy with this purchase. In my picture, the manganese pieces are the lighter glowing pieces on the top right. Perfect!

I'd purchased two of these lights over a year ago and they were both on about 30 hours a week. One of the lamps failed. I'd swapped bulb out, but it was the unit itself, probably the ballast. Good overall though, enough that I bought the same replacement.

Pretty cool and fun. Decent price

So it comes with a safety note saying this is group 3 UV light. Why there’s not a single mention of that in the product description? This is NOT a safe decorative lamp to glow things up. What the actual f. How is this even legal?!?**Group 3 UV Lamps**:- **Description**: High-intensity UV lamps that emit significantly strong UV radiation.- **Applications**: Used in industrial, scientific, and medical settings for purposes such as sterilization, curing large volumes of materials, or specialized medical treatments.- **Safety**: Considered hazardous without proper safety measures. Requires protective equipment like UV-blocking goggles and clothing, along with engineering controls like shields or barriers.

I wanted old school black light and this sure looks like one. I got the 48 inch and I don't think the 48 inch is worth it. I used to have one half the size that really emitted black light and covered the whole room. When I plug in this 48 inch one in a smaller room than the one I used to use half the size, it doesn't cover the whole room. I was fine with jiggling bulb until it works or snaps back into position but the fact that this is a 48 inch old school black light should cover my whole room which is fairly small. It may be better if you get two small ones or three small ones to cover a small room and distribute around room instead of having one big one in one place. This black light illuminated stuff within 3 feet, anything beyond that was not illuminated. I did research and still had decided on this one, as I found out the old school black lights true emitters of blue light or black light are t8 bulbs. But aside from product the shipping was great, it is well packaged to not break during shipping which I was worried about. Amazon has done a great job wrapping this and shipping this. It had like foam wrapped around the bulb, they way it was packed is great..

this blacklight is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I had a GLOW party last week for my daughter's 11th birthday party and completely transformed my house! For the interior of the house, I went to Home Depot and purchased FEIT ELECTRIC SPIRAL backlight bulbs for $4.97 each that were used to replace 20 hi-hat bulbs on my first floor... I got the info from that brand on a review comment and it was correct! The bulbs worked great!... For the areas with no hi-hats that included my dining room & enclosed patio areas, I used AMERICAN DJ BLACKLIGHT LIGHT FIXTURES...THEY TOTALLY ROCKED!!! I ordered Five - 4-ft. lights and Two - 2-ft. lights.... IT WAS AMAZING!!! then 4-ft. light covered my entire Dining Room area without issue... the remaining lights were used to cover the outdoor enclosed patio area and it was AWESOME!!! All light fixtures were installed approximately 9 to 10-feet high above the windows... they all arrived in perfect condition and packaged well. I had only one of the 4-ft lights that had a defective bulb and would not work, but AMAZON replaced that fixture overnight without a problem and saved the day... the replacement was perfect and arrived on time for the party!!! After reading many reviews, I would STRONGLY URGE you to BUY AMERICAN DJ BLACKLIGHT PRODUCTS as they work phenomenal & install beautifully and are of sturdy construction. Thank you AMAZON & Thank you AMERICAN DJ!
